ABOUT ME
Welcome - I am Bridgene
I get excited about helping women who are feeling the way way about their life as I did in 2020. Lost , anxious , totally stuck in a rut and drinking far too much on a regular basis.
I love helping them discover their old selves again and really begin to sparkle
HELLO LOVELY!
I'm Bridgene
My name is Bridgene and I was a typical social butterfly whose life revolved around drinking and socialising. I loved going out and bringing people together. I could not contemplate life without alcohol. and used it to both celebrate good days and commiserate bad ones As a busy full time Project Manager with a stressful job I would often be found arranging team nights out which would always turn into late boozy affairs.
Over time, social drinks turned slowly into drinking at home while numbing away the stresses of the day watching telly As I approached my mid 40s my menopause symptoms were difficult to deal with . I experienced increasing anxiety and I used wine more and more to get through.
I reached a stage in menopause where I was anxious all the time, my work was being affected , I ached all over and I was permanently living in a 5 out of 10 state. My evening drinking was out of control and I knew something had to change before I had a bigger problem to deal with I took a 90 day break from the booze to see if it would help me with my menopause symptoms, my aches and pains and anxiety. I was terrified that I was going become addicted if i didn't take back some control
It was fun until it was no longer fun.
How it all started...
I took a 90 day break from the booze to see if it would help me with my menopause symptoms, my aches and pains and anxiety. I was terrified that I was going become addicted if I didn't take control.
IT WORKED
I have now been living a full and happy alcohol free life for nearly 5 years while still going through the menopause.
I learnt such a lot about myself after a year of not drinking my interest in self development was born and I trained to be a coach and invested my time and energy into gaining a Diploma in Coaching & Positive Psychology (DCPP) and specifically Alcohol-Free Coaching from Areteway Coaching which is gold stamped course and double accredited with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and Association for Coaching (AC).
I started helping other women (and some men too!) to change their relationship with alcohol and I continue to aim to help as many people as possible.
Get results like these
The coaching kick off certainly put me at ease and gave me some life skills to adopt as well as a good old honest chat to identify strengths and weaknesses. Fast forward 2 months I’m still going strong and never felt better. From using different tools and methods my health has improved dramatically
Throughout our sessions, Bridgene helped me gain clarity about my life’s purpose and develop a concrete action plan to achieve them.
Thanks to Bridgene I now realise how much better life is without alcohol, I am sleeping better, saving money and feeling better in myself. My fitness is getting better and better by the day. I am only at the start of my journey but am excited about what the future holds for me and my alcohol free life.
Some fun facts about me...
Not sure its a "fun fact" but I love to salsa dance - I do cuban style salsa and can be found out social dancing as much as possible. Its also a great fit for an alcohol free lifestyle.
I see faces EVERYWHERE. Its a well known thing called
Pareidolia and it can mean you see faces in inanimate objects. I'm well known for it among my friends and they now see faces everywhere too and send me pictures
I never once pictured myself as a person who didn't drink alcohol. It was never on my roadmap - until it become my roadmap :-)
