  • Why your sober self and drinking self can feel like totally different people
  • The science behind impulsivity, identity shifts, and the “reward rush”
  • How to recognize drinking patterns that don’t align with your values
  • Simple ways to reconnect with your true self—and shift your habits

🎧 Tune in now to get curious about the version of you that shows up after a drink—and how to make choices that reflect the real you.
