Author: James Swanwick May 6, 2026 Duration: 38:53

What happens when a successful professional and mother realizes that alcohol, once a social "glue," has become a biological crutch? Coach Matt sits down with AFL member Candy to celebrate her 365-day milestone.

Candy shares her transition from using wine to numb emotional struggles to becoming a fierce advocate for her own health and boundaries.

Discover how the "Field to Heal" philosophy allowed her to navigate high-stakes all-inclusive vacations with total social ease, and why shifting her identity to a "non-drinker" made high-performance decisions automatic.

This episode is a roadmap for high achievers to reclaim their focus, strengthen their marriages, and ensure they are fully present for the people who matter most.
