- You've been telling yourself that if you were more disciplined, then you wouldn't drink as much as you do. But the problem isn't that you need more control. It's that giving yourself permission to relax means that you're wasting time or falling behind. Which is why you need alcohol. This episode explains why expanding your capacity for peace and joy is what actually reduces alcohol cravings, and gives you one small goal to help you get started.
What you'll learn:
Why GLP1 drugs reduce alcohol cravings (and how to get the same effect on your own)
Why motivating yourself with shame and fear makes cravings worse
The difference between wanting more from yourself and wanting more for yourself
What to do when peace and joy aren't available to you (yet)

And now you're trying to figure out why you keep breaking promises to yourself when it comes to alcohol.

What you'll learn:
Why taking a break from drinking isn't about proving you can go without it

23/06/2026 | 30minIf you're an alcoholic, how is it possible that you can get more done before breakfast than most people do in a week? And yet, you still know that you drink too much.

Why no one can actually tell you whether you're an alcoholic
The belief that quietly makes your drinking harder to control

16/06/2026 | 34minYou've always been a little proud of your high tolerance. You can drink grown men under the table and still walk and talk like a rockstar in four inch heels. But lately it scares you. How is it even possible to drink that much and not even feel it? This episode answers that, and shows you how to "feel" the signals in your body that you've trained yourself to ignore.
What you'll learn:
Why a high tolerance isn't a sign of superior liver function, and what it's actually hiding
Why it's actually quite normal for busy and high-functioning women to over-drink
How to tell the difference between buzzed and intoxicated (without a breathalyzer)

Sobre It's Not About the Alcohol
Would you like to reduce your alcohol consumption by 80 percent so you can enjoy drinking socially without relying on alcohol to manage your stress, anxiety, loneliness and boredom when you're by yourself?
Most high achieving women assume over-drinking is caused by a lack of willpower--or worse, the incurable disease of "alcoholism." So they beat themselves up and avoid asking for help because they feel ashamed and out of control.
Whether you're a daily drinker who can't break the habit, or you're still going to sobriety meetings even though you don't drink anymore, the real problem is that you don't trust yourself.
Which means it's not about the alcohol. It's about your relationship with yourself.
I'm an intuitive drinking coach helping professional women learn how drinking less (or not at all) is actually a superpower, even when the idea of giving up the only thing that helps them quiet their mind feels impossible.
The solution to alcohol use disorder is a FEELING. If you felt comfortable in your own skin and at ease in your life, you would drink like someone who is comfortable and at ease!
Join me each week for holistic, evidence-based strategies to fix your dopamine deficit, regulate your nervous system, cure imposter syndrome, manage sugar cravings, improve your sleep and reclaim your mental health so you no longer have the urge to escape your own body.
Get happy, not sober. Because happy people don't drink themselves into a stupor.
