20. Burnout, Leadership & Finding Purpose Alcohol-Free with Naomi DuCharme

Season #1

Naomi DuCharme joined us for this honest and powerful conversation about burnout, stress, leadership, sobriety, and finding purpose after alcohol.

This episode includes a brief mention of suicide and substance use.

Naomi shares her story growing up in Alaska where drinking culture was heavily normalized and how alcohol became a big part of her life starting at a young age. From working in hospitality to leadership roles in construction and oil and gas, she opens up about the pressure of high-performance environments, being a woman in male-dominated industries, and how alcohol slowly became something she relied on to cope with stress, grief, and burnout.

We also talk about gray area drinking, postpartum stress, workplace drinking culture, and the pressure so many women feel to keep pushing through while quietly struggling behind the scenes. Naomi shares how coaching, therapy, and community helped her start healing and how removing alcohol gave her more clarity, purpose, and alignment in her life.

Naomi now helps individuals and organizations build healthier, more supportive workplace cultures through leadership coaching, workplace wellbeing consulting, and recovery support. Her story is incredibly relatable and this episode is such a powerful reminder that you do not need to hit rock bottom to decide you want something different for your life.
