After two decades in career and executive coaching, Sarah Rusbatch made a bold life change—she gave up drinking in 2019 after recognising she was a grey area drinker. Not dependent, but not thriving either. She retrained as a Grey Area Drinking, menopause, and wellbeing coach, and since then has supported thousands of Australians to redefine their relationship with alcohol, improve their wellbeing, and unlock their full potential.

In this inspiring conversation, Sarah shares her personal story and the surprising truth: her message isn’t just for people with an obvious drinking problem. It’s for anyone who feels stuck in the “grey area”—where alcohol isn’t destroying your life, but it isn’t helping you live your best one either. Through her keynote talks, workshops, and best-selling book Beyond Booze, Sarah’s impact spans mine sites, boardrooms, and living rooms across the globe.
We explore what she’s learned about performance, self-leadership, and resilience since retraining, why workplaces are often hesitant to address alcohol—and why that needs to change. She also unpacks the most popular workshops she runs, and the life-changing ripple effects she’s witnessed when people start asking the bigger questions about what truly supports their wellbeing.
Whether you're sober, sober-curious, or simply questioning your habits, this conversation will leave you with powerful insights and practical takeaways.
