About this episode

In this episode, we talk to Polly Lovell. She describes herself as empathetic, insightful, and driven. Polly lives in the United Kingdom. 

Polly tells us about sitting on two commas that were connected. Polly describes setting down alcohol while going through a stressful divorce; needing to have clarity while going through the process. However, after claiming her freedom, she found herself returning to alcohol as a means to cope with job pressures, the pandemic and life! What she discovered was a health scare, a role model and a plan to help her reclaim her freedom again. Tune in to hear what Polly means when she says “I learned that I have exceptional strength”.
