Have you ever heard of gray area drinking? It's a term that is becoming increasingly prevalent in conversations about alcohol consumption and addiction.

In this podcast episode, we speak with Kari Schwear, a life coach and expert on this topic, who shares her own experience with quitting drinking and starting a business to help others. Kari explains the definition of gray area drinking, why it's a choice rather than a necessity for those in this category, and why it's important to recognize and address this behavior. 

Kari Schwear is an Executive Lifestyle Coach and Certified GiANT Worldwide guide, specializing in leadership transformation and development. As a former gray area drinker, Kari founded GrayTonic & the Question the Drink movement in 2018 after her own experience of “living in the gray” led her to the service of others. Her zone of genius is in habit creation, communication, and intentional living. Kari also co-authored the book, The Successful Mind, Tools for Living a Purposeful, Productive, and Happy Life, and is on her second anthology titled, Limitless, due out this Fall, 2023.
