Explore the unexpected stigma surrounding sobriety in this thought-provoking 17-minute TEDx talk by Gill McKay at the University of Edinburgh.

Understand how unintentional behaviors perpetuate these stigmas, potentially causing loved ones, friends, family, and colleagues to struggle in silence. Gain insights into the importance of breaking the silence surrounding stigma, giving everyone a voice, and realizing the power of choice in changing lives for the better. Reflect on the significance of human connection in an ever-changing world and consider the perspectives of Gill McKay, a neuroscience expert, mental health first aider, and best-selling author who runs Inquisitive Coaching, helping professional mid-life women break free from alcohol's hold and live life on their own terms.
