Irish-born entrepreneur, Lauren Burnison has created the UKs very first alcohol-free travel company, We Love Lucid. Lauren talks about her own alcohol-free journey, what inspired her to create her booze-free trips and what you can expect when you join a We Love Lucid holiday.
Originally from Northern Ireland, Lauren has travelled and lived all over the world on a self-confessed “international rampage of self-destruction”. While living and working in South Korea in 2018, she finally decided to take control of her life by quitting booze once and for all. As she travelled back to the UK on a tour of Asia and Europe, she was inspired to create an alcohol-free travel company. Her trips are aimed at solo travellers in their 30s and 40s both sober and sober curious who are looking to connect with like-minded people and push themselves to try new and invigorating experiences.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Get out and connect in person with other AF people
2. Don’t be afraid to try new things in sobriety - you are relearning what you like
3. Be patient, quitting booze is just the first step in the journey towards an amazing life

Sharon is passionate about helping those who are disillusioned with life & relationships find peace of mind again. She shows people how to begin looking forward to each day through an easy process of finding and releasing unconscious beliefs. It sounds simple and it is, once you get the hang of it. She only works with people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired and are ready to make a radical change.
In Sharon's words:
Years of physical, emotional, mental, sexual abuse, alcoholic parents, death of my son, showed me everything I didn’t want in life. In my mid-40’s I began learning what was at the root of all of my problems - it was me! I began a journey of conditioning myself to a better life. I learned a simple way to move beyond all of the past into a life of peaceful thoughts. Now I’m in love with life and living a life I love.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Drop your expectations
2. Understand what’s beneath your anger
3. ALWAYS remember everyone is doing the best they can in any given moment, including yourself

I talked with Theresa Carpenter, an active duty U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander on how she let addictions control her life for decades, but in her 40s decided to expect more out of life by letting go of perfectionism and embracing her quirky, unapologetic self.
Theresa Carpenter is an active-duty Navy Lieutenant Commander where she has served for the past 25 years. Her passions include helping military women succeed and the professional development of the craft of public relations. As an introspective writer, she muses about the human experience for her blog, Theresa’s Tapestries. Tapping into her love of storytelling through the visual medium, she runs a YouTube channel with her husband where they share their experiences with saving money, DIY projects, traveling, and enjoying time together. Her latest endeavor is her podcast S.O.S (Stories of Service), which features ordinary people from all walks of life who show up in service to their communities. She lives in Norfolk, Virginia with her husband Harry and their Boxer dog Jayda, who also has her own social media presence on Instagram.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Be yourself - nobody else has your unique skills, talents and personality
2. Addictions control you - don’t let anyone or anything define who you are
3. Surround yourself with a positive and loving tribe (even if you did not grow up with one)

Shannon - this girl is real, she will show herself to you, igniting that heart connection. You will relate, she is earthy, yet fiery and open to give you hope.
Shannon is a warrior, battling more than just one debilitating illness and currently healing from a double hip replacement and overcoming some unexpected complications. She pushes on one foot in front of the other. She is truly an inspiration to many. This girl has grit, she is not stopping because it feels too damn good to feel good, feels too damn good to love and to feel connected to others, to nature and to her Higher Power. Her passion is to share her story and inspire others to give themselves a chance to heal. Shannon will walk with you along the way.
In Shannon's words:
Our journey as a family along the bumpy road of addiction, mental illness and recovery.
My addiction allowed me to hide from my pain and struggles of feeling like a failure as a single mom until I hit my darkest place thinking my kids would be better off without me.
In this hopeless, despairing state something beyond me hit me, I finally surrendered and called out for help. That is when I learned that alcoholism is a disease, a family disease and it takes a team to recover as a family.
I have grit and passion to share my story, to impact other families, giving them hope that healing is possible for them too.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. ASK for help - You are not alone
2. Be totally Honest - Speak Your Truth
3. It is OK to be Human.
