EP199 The 3 invisible gaps that sabotage your ability to change your drinking habits

It's Not About the Alcohol

"Stop saying that you want to stay sober or drink in moderation. Because what you really want is to feel calm, capable, and in control." Colleen Freeland Kachmann

There are 3 invisible, unmet needs that keep high-achieving women from easily changing their drinking habits: a lack of connection, direction and feedback.

If you’ve ever wondered “Why am I doing this to myself?”—this episode will change the way you think about drinking, self-trust, and your ability to change.

I’ll explain how alcohol has become both a problem and a solution, and why your brilliant, overthinking brain continues to argue in favor of your bad habits.

You’ll learn how shame, inconsistency, and an over-emphasis on alcohol undermine your ability to change. And why focusing on how you want to FEEL instead of how much you should or should not drink will set you free.

Key Takeaways:

• Your emotional state drives your behavior. The way you drink is a reflection of how you feel.

• The first step to feeling better is feeling safe so that you can speak your truth.

• Which means you need support from a community of people who share your values and vision for the future.
