Alcohol Freedom Coaching | EP 919 If you're trying to figure out how to stop drinking for good, you'll want to tune in for this episode. Shannon is 14 days alcohol-free and the first person on either side of her family to ever try changing their drinking — and every time a family member sets down their glass because she isn't having one, the guilt shows up right on schedule. Amy read This Naked Mind five years ago, went alcohol-free for five months, lost her mother during COVID, and spent five years trying to get back. She's six weeks in now and more afraid of losing it than she's been afraid of anything she's built for herself. Listen and find out what actually gets in the way for both of them.Shannon discusses: Growing up surrounded by heavy drinkers & being the first to step away The guilt she carries when family members say they "won't drink either" on her account Tracing people-pleasing back to a 7-year-old part of herself who learned to be responsible for others' feelings Her ALIVE goal: free, full of hope and joy, not chained to a substance or to other people's reactions Amy discusses: Being six weeks alcohol-free and terrified of losing what she's worked so hard to build Reading This Naked Mind five years ago, going alcohol-free for five months, losing her mother during COVID, and drinking again for five years The shift from holding alcohol freedom in a clenched fist to an open hand How taking care of her granddaughter became the biggest trigger — and how she navigated it without drinking And more from both guests… Cole Harvey is a certified Naked Mind Senior Coach.

What does it look like to live at the intersection of neurodivergence and queerness? In this annual Neurodivergent Pride panel, a collaboration between ADHD reWired and Shimmer Coaching, host Eric Tivers and panelists Savant, Kristen, Jill, and moderator Chris share deeply personal stories about identity, masking, belonging, and the ongoing work of becoming themselves. The conversation moves through the ways masking shows up across queer and neurodivergent lives, from religious trauma and racial identity to the quiet labor of maintaining relationships while autistic. Panelists explore the overlap between coming out as queer and discovering neurodivergence later in life, noting how one process of unmasking often catalyzes another. They discuss heteronormative and neurotypical expectations, burnout, somatic awareness, the role of alcohol as a masking tool, and the power of finally believing you are inherently good. Whether you're early in your own journey or deep in the unmasking process, this episode offers honest, layered reflections from people who understand the territory. It closes with simple, powerful affirmations: your safe people are out there, there's nothing wrong with you, and being fully yourself is always worth it. Show Notes This special Neurodivergent Pride episode of ADHD reWired brings together a vibrant panel for an honest, intersectional conversation about what it means to live at the crossroads of queerness and neurodivergence. Recorded in collaboration with Shimmer Coaching, the panel features host Eric Tivers alongside Savant, Kristen, Jill, and moderator Chris, each bringing their own layered experiences of ADHD, autism, queerness, race, faith, gender, and self-discovery. The episode opens with each panelist sharing how they relate to both the queer and neurodivergent communities. What immediately emerges is that these identities are not separate tracks running in parallel. They are deeply intertwined. For many on the panel, discovering one identity illuminated the other. Kristen, recently diagnosed as autistic and agender, describes a lifelong journey of masking so thorough that her own mind kept her queerness hidden from her until age 28. Savant, who is Black, gay, semi-verbal, and autistic with Savant syndrome, reflects on the particular pressures of unmasking in Black queer communities and how identity categories can feel like cages even within LGBTQIA+ spaces. Jill connects with Nick Walker's concept of "neuroqueer," a framework for understanding how queer and neurodivergent identities together subvert normative expectations. Eric shares his own evolving journey: coming out as bisexual at 14, stepping back into the closet after a painful family response, and gradually, over the last several years, coming more fully into his queer, polyamorous, and autistic identity. A central theme is masking: the exhausting, sometimes invisible labor of performing neurotypicality and heteronormativity in order to feel safe. The panel explores how masking operates differently depending on context. Race, religion, socioeconomic status, and gender all shape how much masking is required and how dangerous unmasking can feel. Kristen speaks powerfully about growing up with an unnamed sense that something was "wrong" with her, and how evangelical Christianity offered both structure and suppression. Savant describes the specific neurological experience of unmasking, what he calls "the peanut butter feeling," and how musical theater taught him to mask with almost military precision. Jill is candid about the role alcohol and substances have played in her own mask, and how her whiteness, cisness, and socioeconomic privilege have buffered her from some of the costs other panelists face. Eric describes experiencing his first autistic meltdown after years of not recognizing the depth of his own burnout. The conversation also touches on the practical, embodied work of unmasking. Kristen shares a therapist's suggestion to draw your masking self versus your unmasked self, and talks about learning to notice somatic cues: face pain from performative smiling, shallow breathing, tense shoulders. Eric recommends Devon Price's work and describes how 145 consecutive days of meditation have been part of his recovery. Savant offers the insight that his "observer brain" was always turned outward and never inward, and that true unmasking means turning the mirror around. The panel closes with single-sentence affirmations to a younger self or to anyone earlier in their journey: Eric: "Just be completely you and don't worry about your mother." Kristen: "Your safe people are out there. Don't give up." Jill: "There's nothing wrong with you. You're not broken, and you don't need to be fixed." Savant: "Neurodivergence and divinity aren't too far away from each other. Beware." This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they were too much, not enough, or simply inexplicably different. It's a reminder that unmasking, while messy and sometimes painful, is a path toward authenticity, connection, and a kind of pride that doesn't require anyone's permission. Produced in collaboration with Shimmer Coaching. Key Takeaways Queerness and neurodivergence are deeply intertwined. For many people, discovering one identity catalyzes the discovery of the other. Masking is a survival mechanism, not a character flaw. Unmasking can reveal which relationships are truly safe and affirming. Religious, cultural, racial, and gender expectations can intensify the pressure to mask. Burnout is often a signal that the mask is no longer sustainable. Identity labels can be both liberating and constraining. Privilege shapes the risks and costs of unmasking. Somatic awareness can help people notice where masking lives in the body. Alcohol and substances can sometimes function as masking tools. The concept of "neuroqueer" offers a powerful framework for understanding the overlap between queerness and neurodivergence. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with you. You do not need to be fixed.

On this Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn reveals how Big Alcohol ran Big Tobacco's playbook to sell you a Group 1 carcinogen as self-care. Cheers!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1351On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Group 1 means top-shelf danger. Strip away the vineyard branding and alcohol is just ethanol, a carcinogen shelved beside asbestos and plutonium, causally tied to at least seven cancers. The WHO now states what almost no drinker realizes: there is no safe level.Why the red wine health halo crumbles under real scrutiny. The studies that crowned moderate drinking heart-healthy were warped by the sick-quitter flaw, lumping already-ill ex-drinkers in with lifelong abstainers. Apply stronger genetic methods and the protective effect simply vanishes.How the industry runs Big Tobacco's playbook down to the same PR firms. invent personal responsibility as a liability shield, coin Drink Responsibly, fund flattering research, and lobby cancer warnings off labels that have not changed since 1988.Who profits and who absorbs the damage. Alcohol factors into 40 to 60% of violent crime and roughly 13,000 traffic deaths a year, at a cost near $380 billion, yet the harm falls hardest on women and lower-income communities while the industry stays insulated.What actually works is already proven. Scotland's minimum pricing cut alcohol deaths, cancer-specific warning labels shift behavior, and medications like naltrexone curb cravings. Gen Z is drinking less and building real sober-friendly spaces. Learn the facts, then decide for yourself.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

What has changed about recovery, sobriety, and alcohol over the last decade? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane Ramer sits down with Paul Churchill, founder and host of the Recovery Elevator Podcast, for a conversation that has been more than ten years in the making. Shane and Paul both launched their podcasts in the early days of the modern sobriety movement and have spent years talking with thousands of people navigating their relationship with alcohol. In this episode, they reflect on how the recovery landscape has evolved, what they've learned from their audiences, and why more people than ever are questioning alcohol's role in their lives. Together, they tackle some of the biggest debates in recovery today, including identity, labels, moderation, the sober curious movement, and whether people need to hit rock bottom before making a change. They also discuss the common struggles men face when trying to quit drinking, the excuses that keep people stuck, and why so many smart, successful people continue drinking even when they know it's holding them back. In this episode: • How the sobriety and recovery movement has changed over the last decade • The rise of the sober curious movement • Do people still need to identify as alcoholics? • Can some people successfully moderate their drinking? • The biggest lies people tell themselves about alcohol • Why successful people continue drinking despite the consequences • What keeps people stuck longer than necessary • Lessons learned from thousands of conversations about recovery and personal growth • Where the future of sobriety may be headed Whether you're sober curious, alcohol free, in long term recovery, or simply questioning your relationship with alcohol, this conversation offers practical insights, honest reflections, and plenty of thought provoking discussion.

For more than a year, alcohol sales in the on-premise (restaurants, bars, stadiums, and hotels) have outperformed sales in the off-premise (grocery, convenience, and liquor stores). On the surface, this trend contradicts many of our explanations for the industry's struggles. If people are broke, why are they spending money in the channel where alcohol costs the most? If people are spending more time alone, why are they drinking in venues driven by socialization? A mystery this big requires more intellectual firepower than RaboResearch alone can provide. So we invited two PhDs and an economist on the show to help us figure it out. Our guests: Bart Watson, President & CEO, Brewers Association Andrew Heritage, Chief Economist, Beer Institute Lester Jones, Chief Economist, National Beer Wholesalers Association Relevant time stamps:  Why are on-premise sales outperforming off-premise sales? Round 1: 7:42 – The K-shaped economy is widening the gap between on-premise and off-premise sales: Middle/lower-income consumers feel squeezed and cut back more during at-home (off-premise) occasions, while protecting meaningful social occasions (on-premise). Higher-income consumers continue spending, widening the gap. 16:04 – Rising wealth is leading to an overall increase in on-premise spending: The US is getting richer over time; historically that drives more spending "away from home." As incomes rise, consumers shift toward experiences like bars/restaurants. 24:01 – Post-Covid socialization is normalizing: People want to reconnect after Covid. Younger consumers especially over-index in out-of-home alcohol spend, supporting on-premise demand through social experiences. 32:54 – Health and wellness trends are driving people to cut back on banal, at-home occasions: Consumers drink less overall, especially at home, but keep social drinking occasions. Alcohol becomes more "occasion-based," benefiting on-premise while hurting off-premise volumes. 42:02 – Inflation in the on-premise is massively outpacing off-premise: On-premise prices are rising faster than off-premise. Even if behavior doesn't change much, higher pricing inflates on-premise performance in dollar terms. Round 2:  45:18 – Travel and experiences are rebounding: Increased travel drives on-premise consumption (restaurants, bars, concessions). Social and vacation contexts strengthen on-premise relative to at-home drinking. 47:24 – The on-premise has more innovation, driving increases in productivity: Restaurants and bars have innovated (tech, formats, efficiency) post-Covid, improving service and experience. Better venues lead to stronger performance versus relatively static off-premise retail. 52:10 – There are more women in the workforce: More women in the workforce = more income + stronger social consumption patterns. Women may drink less, but have more money to spend per serving, suggesting they may be a driver of on-premise strength. 57:48 – Staying at home is more stimulating than it used to be: Consumers don't have to drink because they're bored. Competing activities (cannabis, online gaming, etc.) replace at-home drinking occasions – especially for younger males – more than on-premise drinking occasions. 1:03:02 – Several final factors may also be contributing to the on-premise performance gap: With the last pick of the draft, Bourcard mops up some of the final potential factors behind the on-premise performance gap, including young adults living with their parents, the decline of underage drinking, and GLP-1 drugs reducing the desire for casual drinking while leaving social occasions intact.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores reminiscing as more than nostalgia. After returning from a family reunion, she reflects on how shared stories can reconnect us with earlier versions of ourselves and remind us of the courage, humor, resilience, and connection that are still part of who we are. Key Points Reminiscing is not just remembering events; it is reconnecting with identity, meaning, and emotion.  Autobiographical memories help us understand our personal life story and the versions of ourselves we have been.  Family stories can preserve shared identity by reminding us what we value, what we survived, and how we belong to one another.  Healthy reminiscing can support behavior change by reminding us that our current emotional state is not the whole story.  Reminiscing is different from rumination. Rumination loops in shame or regret, while reminiscing helps us integrate the past with curiosity and compassion.  The past can be a courtroom or a library: rumination puts us on trial, but reminiscing helps us retrieve something useful. Science Mentioned The hippocampus helps organize memory and context.  The medial prefrontal cortex is involved in self-reflection and personal meaning.  The default mode network becomes active when we think about ourselves, our past, our future, and the stories that shape our lives.  Erik Erikson's stage of integrity versus despair describes the process of looking back over life and making meaning from both joys and losses. Think Thursday Invitation Take ten minutes to intentionally reminisce.  Look through old photos, listen to a meaningful song, ask a family member to tell a story, or think about a place you used to love.  Ask yourself:  What version of me was present in that memory?  What mattered to me then?  What does this memory remind me is still part of me?  What is one small way I could bring that version of myself into today? Closing ThoughtLooking back is not always about wanting to go backward. Sometimes reminiscing helps us gather pieces of ourselves we forgot we could bring forward. ★ Support this podcast ★

What most people don't know is that behind the footy career, Luke was fighting a serious gambling addiction that ended up costing him around $500,000 over four years, alongside struggles with alcohol and drugs. He's been incredibly open about how that addiction took hold, what it cost him, and what it actually took to get out the other side.We also got into something Luke is really passionate about right now. Ahead of State of Origin Games 2 and 3, Luke is using his platform to call out the link between alcohol, masculinity and violence, with research showing a 40% rise in domestic violence incidents on State of Origin nights. We talk about why he believes alcohol and gambling advertising in sport needs the same scrutiny we've seen applied to tobacco, and why this conversation matters so much to him.And then there's the part of Luke's story that surprised everyone. From hiding fantasy novels in the toilet as a tough country kid playing first grade footy, to becoming one of the biggest names on BookTok and signing a two-book fantasy series deal with Atria Books. It's a brilliant reminder that it's never too late to embrace who you really are.This one covers addiction, advocacy, masculinity and reinvention. Luke is honest, switched on, and using his voice for something that really matters.In this episode we cover:Luke's journey through the NRL with the Canberra RaidersThe gambling addiction that cost him around $500,000 over four yearsHis struggles with alcohol and drug use during his playing careerWhat recovery actually looked like for himThe culture in elite sport around gambling and drinkingThe link between alcohol, masculinity and domestic violenceThe 40% rise in family violence incidents during State of OriginCalls to tighten alcohol advertising regulation, similar to gambling and tobaccoHiding his love of fantasy novels as a kid on a cattle propertyBecoming a BookTok sensation and signing his Atria Books dealWhy storytelling and reading matter for boys and menThe numbers behind this conversation:Alcohol is involved in up to 47% of all police-reported family violence incidents47% of women sexually assaulted by a man in the past decade said alcohol or another substance contributed to the most recent incidentResearch shows a 40% increase in violence towards women and children in NSW on State of Origin game nightsState of Origin Game 3 — Wed 8th JulyIf this episode brought something up for you:

Alcohol Freedom Coaching | EP 917 What happens when you finally want to stop using alcohol to cope, but the idea of facing everything without it feels almost impossible? In this episode, Kim and Liv bravely step into that very question. They open up about just how easily alcohol became a source of comfort — soothing a nervous system wrecked by family crisis and serving as the one reliable, familiar thing in the uncertainty of life. Astonishingly, what comes next isn't a battle of willpower. Learning how to cope without alcohol becomes something else entirely - permission to feel, to choose your next step on your own terms, and to discover the strength that's been with you all along.  Kim discusses: Giving alcohol the "job" of soothing her nervous system through trauma and crises Why all-or-nothing thinking and shame from a previous recovery program made it harder to move forward The shift from feeling like she needed to "let it all go" to learning to live with her experiences differently Building real confidence through action — vulnerability, community, and showing up before the confidence was there Liv discusses: Drinking for her entire adult life (30 years) and why "familiar" is the one word she'd use to describe alcohol's role Noticing gradual mind shifts that are both exciting and frightening as the Path material starts to work A pattern of making goals only to rebel against them — and why that rebellion disappears when the choice is truly her own Learning to sit with discomfort for an hour, and replacing white-knuckling with curiosity Hayley Scherders is a certified TNM Coach with training from the Canadian Addiction and Mental Health Association.

We kick off with a deep-dive market analysis into the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO, the strategic implications of Elon Musk acquiring the Cursor AI platform, and how global tech infrastructure is shifting under the current political landscape.The panel also exposes the bizarre world of elite wealth—from the staggering economics of international Saudi yacht parties and the geopolitical absurdity of attempting to purchase Greenland, to tech billionaire Bryan Johnson's extreme anti-aging biohacking routines. Faga also reflects on his firsthand experiences during the original Occupy Wall Street protests, connecting the dots to legendary financial deep-dives found on early 4chan threads and the infamous Abacus banking scandal.Finally, we transition to sports and culture. The guys talk New York Knicks chemistry, break down Victor Wembanyama's court reactions, and address the massive literacy crisis facing Gen Z as online spaces shift away from reading toward algorithmic video platforms.Drop a comment below: Is the SpaceX IPO a game-changer or a massive corporate hype cycle?

Would you like to explore an ancient method of healing? After many years of severe alcohol addiction and depression, our guest today, Mark Kohl, talks about ways to heal. Mark has been a successful cinematographer for more than 30 years. He talks about the resilience needed to thrive in that field. He explains how it involves constant decision-making and problem-solving. He shares how moviemaking serves a purpose. It creates an illusion. Television puts the brain in a trance. In this theta state, the brain can be easily programmed. It's almost like a state of hypnosis. We use entertainment as an escape, which is very important to our imagination. Children become what's in their imagination. They identify with various characters. Mark had an extremely successful career. He won many awards. He was a high achiever who owned houses, boats, cars, and apartments. He traveled around the world. Yet, he wasn't happy. He wasn't fulfilled. At the wrap parties, everyone would drink heavily. When he wasn't working, he continued to drink. He realized after taping many commercials, that he was essentially selling products he did not believe in. He was asked to portray a sense of lack, so that the consumer would feel they needed to buy it. After years of drinking, Mark realized he had a problem. Alcohol worked very well to calm his active mind. He could write. He was fearless. He is also a musician who could not get on stage without having a drink first. He realized he was dependent on it.  He talked about going to AA meetings, the terrible detox symptoms he experienced, and his multiple times at rehab centers. His entire life had fallen apart. He became very sick and suicidal. He shares about how ancient cultures knew the dangers of alcohol. Some considered it to be an evil spirit. They used medicinal mushrooms to gain knowledge. Many cultures used psychedelics to reach deeper levels of understanding. Mark is the founder of Frequency House, a sacred healing center.  This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: frequency-house.com.

Real Sober Mom Erin's childhood revolved around her father's alcohol addiction and she made a promise to herself: that would never be her. Amidst her parents divorce during high school, though, she developed a new opinion: Alcohol felt like it gave her control. And that felt good. From the beginning, Erin knew that she drank differently than others. Once she started she didn't want to stop. And so, she developed a reputation of a party girl, and the party didn't slow down until motherhood. Motherhood gave her a sense of purpose, but as her kids got older and her relationship became more dysfunctional, alcohol crept back into the driver's seat of her life, until she received her second DUI. The probationary period around her DUI resulted in nine months of sobriety, and she truly believed that she could manage alcohol after that. What she didn't know was that the shame and negative effects of alcohol could roar back into her life two-fold. She knew then - she needed a permanent change. Grandmotherhood gave her the final push she needed to change her life. Sobriety for Erin began one day at a time, through faith, community and accountability, and she doesn't regret a single sober day. Every day that she wakes up clear headed is another reminder that she's done the right thing. Community makes all the difference.

In this episode, I explore why failure is not something to hide, but something to study, share, and even celebrate. Drawing inspiration from the “Flops” exhibition at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, I look at how psychology, religion, science, and art all reveal the same truth: my mistakes are often the very things that shape my character, deepen my relationships, and point me toward a more meaningful life.Why failed products like BIC for Her and New Coke can teach us about resilienceThe psychology of growth mindset, self-compassion, and learning from mistakesHow traditions like Kintsugi and teshuvah honor repair over perfectionStories of famous failures from Thomas Edison to J.K. RowlingBooks, movies, songs, and poems that remind us to “fail better”Reflection questions to help me turn every flop into wisdom and purposeThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

What happens when the person you've spent years trying to be turns out to be built around survival rather than authenticity?In this episode, Chelsey Flood is joined by Bre Ransome to explore late diagnosis, drinking culture, and the unsettling experience of discovering that many traits you thought were part of your personality were actually coping strategies. Together they discuss identity, self-understanding, and what happens when long-held assumptions begin to unravel.In this episode:Late diagnosis and self-discoveryAlcohol and social expectationsCoping strategies and identityRethinking the past through a neurodivergent lensContent Note: This episode includes discussion of alcohol use, late diagnosis, and mental health.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly continues the series When Drinking Less Feels Hard, looking at the real-life challenges that make drinking less feel difficult through the lens of Alcohol Core Beliefs.This week's focus is the belief Alcohol Is My Reward—the thought that shows up at the end of a hard day, a long week, while cooking dinner, on vacation, or anytime alcohol feels like the treat you've earned for getting through something. Molly explores why this belief can feel so reasonable, how the brain learns to associate alcohol with reward and transition, and why drinking less can feel like deprivation when alcohol has become the main way you mark completion, rest, or pleasure.Before the episode, Molly also shares a reminder about Mostly Dry July-The Daily, which includes daily support, weekly group coaching calls, weekly brain boosts, and a private daily podcast to help you practice drinking less with peaceful mindfulness and without all-or-nothing thinking.  www.mollywatts.com/mostly-dry-july  In This EpisodeWhy alcohol can become tied to end-of-day and end-of-week ritualsHow the brain learns to predict alcohol as a rewardWhy “I deserve this” is often a clue, not a problemThe difference between true reward and coping in disguiseHow alcohol can represent completion, freedom, pleasure, or feeling like something is finally yoursWhy expanding your reward system is essential for drinking lessHow to use See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift with the belief Alcohol Is My RewardKey TakeawayYou deserve reward, pleasure, rest, and celebration. But alcohol may not be the reward you actually deserve.The reward you deserve is one that restores you, supports you, and helps you feel cared for in the moment and proud of yourself later.Listener PracticeChoose one reward-drinking moment: the end of the day, Friday night, cooking dinner, vacation, or after finishing something hard.Ask yourself:What am I trying to reward?What do I want this reward to give me?Will alcohol actually give me that, or is there another way to create it more honestly?Then practice creating one real reward before alcohol. It might be quiet, rest, movement, food, connection, or a nonalcoholic ritual.Resources MentionedMostly Dry July-The DailyAlcohol Core BeliefsSee, Soothe, Separate, ShiftAlcohol Minimalist Facebook groupLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Today's episode is exactly what it sounds like. We are bashing alcohol.Not people who drink. Not your cousin who loves her Chardonnay. Not your husband who enjoys a beer watching football.Just alcohol itself. The substance. The product.The thing we've somehow collectively agreed deserves a free pass despite causing anxiety, wrecking sleep, increasing cancer risk, making us text people we shouldn't text, and convincing us it's the solution to problems it helped create.So if you're sober curious, alcohol-free, taking a break, or simply wondering why drinking seems less appealing than it used to, pull up a chair.Join the Sober Girls Mastermind, our private community.2sobergirls.com/sober-girls-mastermindModern sobriety — where you don't just stop drinking, you upgrade your life.Inside you'll find weekly live calls with Michaela + Erinn, a private community with daily group chat support, trainings, tools and replays, and real conversations on sobriety, mindset, and becoming your next-level self.$88/monthCancel anytime.Start with our free course:The Sober Girl Blueprinthttps://www.2sobergirls.comConnect with us.

Fructose acts as a metabolic signal that pushes your body to store fat and lowers cellular energy, which explains why weight gain and fatigue can happen even without obvious overeating Your body converts fructose into fat more easily than other sugars, increasing triglycerides and driving fatty liver, insulin resistance, and long-term metabolic disease Cutting sugar alone isn't enough because your body can produce fructose internally, meaning metabolic dysfunction reflects deeper energy signaling problems Alcohol and vegetable oils worsen the same pathway by damaging your cells, lowering energy production, and accelerating fat buildup in your liver Removing fructose overload, eliminating alcohol, avoiding unstable fats, and restoring proper energy intake and daily rhythms helps your body shift back toward efficient energy use instead of fat storage

Regular drinking and early sobriety often feel like living on autopilot, where we are repeating the same routines without conscious awareness. Alcohol changes the brain to increase mindless activity, which can lead to rumination, excessive self-focus, anxiety, and addiction-related thought loops. In this episode, you'll learn about how alcohol affects the brain and puts us on autopilot, how this keeps us stuck, and when this recovers in sobriety. Many people mistake life stress as the main source of overwhelm, but a lot of it actually comes from how alcohol disrupts brain function.  What to listen to next: E220: The Hippocampus and Alcohol: Blackouts, Memory Deficits, and Learned Associations E191: Going Back and Forth Makes Your Cravings Stronger E238: Why Moderation Doesn't Work Sober Support: Community & Meetings: Living a Sober Powered Life ⁠https://www.soberpowered.com/membership⁠ Weekly emails on Fridays ⁠https://www.soberpowered.com/email⁠  Work with me: Sober coaching ⁠https://www.soberpowered.com/sober-coaching⁠ Courses: The non-negotiable mindset ⁠https://www.soberpowered.com/mindset-course⁠ Sober milestones: what to expect when you quit drinking ⁠https://sobermilestones.supercast.com/⁠ Anger Management ⁠https://www.soberpowered.com/anger⁠ Thank you for supporting this show by supporting my sponsors.

What happens when alcohol becomes part of everything? Not because you're drinking all day. Not because you've hit a dramatic rock bottom. But because it's woven into your evenings, your marriage, your friendships, your vacations, and the way you unwind after a long day. That's where Trisha found herself. She's a registered nurse, mom of three, and someone who spent years believing she just needed to figure out how to control her drinking. Alcohol wasn't ruining her life. In many ways, it felt like part of a life she loved. In this conversation, Trisha shares the painful moment with her daughter that finally made her realize she couldn't keep going the way she was, how she navigated getting sober while her wife continued to drink, and what surprised her most about life without alcohol.

Andy Stumpf is a retired Navy SEAL, world-record-holding wingsuit BASE jumper, martial artist, and author. We discuss the mental framework and moment-to-moment decision-making process that can allow anyone to build discipline and resilience and better navigate both everyday life and life's most challenging moments. Andy explains several simple-yet-powerful tools gleaned from his time in — and after — his SEAL career that can help you determine where to focus your actions and how to clear your mind of things you can't control or that hold you back mentally. Andy also shares and reflects on lessons learned from some of the deeply personal challenges he faced outside of combat and freefall. Finally, we explore the all-too-frequent tragedy of people — including high performers — taking their own lives, and consider what might be done to prevent more such losses.
