Episode 22: ADHD, Alcohol and the Path to Authenticity with Tracey Bromley-Goodwin

The Sober Chapters Podcast

What happens when you remove the veil that's been clouding your intuition? Tracy Bromley-Godwin, an ADHD and Mindset Coach, discovered the answer to this question when she embarked on her alcohol-free journey two years ago. Her story begins with a simple Reiki training recommendation to abstain from alcohol before sessions, which opened her eyes to how drinking was affecting her energetic channels and amplifying her anxiety.
For Tracy, removing alcohol wasn't just about better sleep or fewer hangovers, it was a spiritual awakening that allowed her to hear her inner guidance with unprecedented clarity. "I was following a little trail of breadcrumbs," she explains, "and since I stopped drinking, that path became so clear." This clarity ultimately led her to transform her career, shifting from working primarily with children with ADHD to coaching high-achieving adults who struggle with similar challenges.
The conversation delves deep into the relationship between ADHD, anxiety, and alcohol use. Tracy dispels common misconceptions about ADHD, explaining that it's not about an inability to focus but rather a surplus of focus — paying attention to everything simultaneously. For those with racing minds who drink to slow their thoughts, alcohol often achieves the opposite effect by disrupting executive functioning skills like emotional regulation and prioritization.
Whether you're questioning your relationship with alcohol, curious about ADHD, or simply seeking greater clarity and connection in your life, this conversation offers valuable insights about the unexpected gifts that emerge when we remove what's clouding our intuition and embrace our true selves.
