In this episode, I lay bare my journey with alcohol, a problem that emerged during the challenging times brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. As the world shut down, I found it difficult to cope, and the people around me suggested turning to alcohol as a means of relaxation. What started innocently enough with a single miniature moscato quickly escalated into a daily habit, hidden from my husband and spiraling out of control.

I share the struggle of justifying my actions and hiding my growing dependence on alcohol, not just from others but from myself. The turning point came when I realized the toll it was taking on my health and well-being. That's when I sought help and found a lifeline in my guest, Colleen.

Colleen joins us to share her own experience and expertise in breaking the cycle of alcohol and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Together, we delve into the impact these habits can have on productivity, confidence, and overall well-being. Colleen offers insights into how she helped me transform my relationship with alcohol and implement positive changes.

So, if you've ever grappled with alcohol or other remedies that promise to make you feel better but end up doing more harm than good, this episode is for you.
