Your questions, answered! In this very first episode of my new Dear Former Fence-Sitter series, I sit down with former guest — mom, therapist, and former fence-sitter, Amanda E. White — to answer questions that include... How do I decide if I don't feel strongly about having kids one way or the other? If I'm scared of pregnancy and childbirth, what advice do you have for me? I'm a step-mom and struggling to figure out if I want kids of my own — what to do? How do I navigate my relationships with my mom friends as a childfree woman? What was beneficial in preparing yourself for parenthood, and that made you realize you could do it?

Let's get curious about our drinking habits! In this episode of The Happier Life Project we are looking at the role alcohol plays in our life; as a comforter, socializing tool, way to relax, blow off steam, or avoid uncomfortable emotions.   Guest Amanda E. White is a licensed therapist and the creator of the popular Instagram account @therapyforwomen Amanda also hosts the podcast “Recovered-ish” and is author of the book “Not Drinking Tonight” and its corresponding workbook. Not Drinking Tonight isn't a manuscript to help you stop drinking. Not Drinking Tonight is the first book to help you address the root issues that cause you to reach for a drink, while helping you unpack your relationship with alcohol.   Chatting to host Gabby Sanderson, Amanda discusses why you don't need to hit rock bottom - or label yourself an alcoholic - to review your relationship with booze and make some positive changes to your drinking habits. Amanda also chats with Gabby about some of the most common reasons people turn to the bottle, and why it often tends to be more about the ritual leading up to taking that first sip, such as popping the cork when the girls come over, or kicking back after a long day and pouring yourself a glass, or switching on the match and opening a can, that is the most satisfying part.   Amanda also touches upon the effect alcohol plays on our mental health and addresses the myth that a glass of something a day is actually good for us (spoiler alert, research has since dispelled). Gabby and Amanda talk about the pros and cons of taking part in dry (or damp) January and Amanda explains how by removing alcohol, we have the opportunity to build a life we don't want to escape from.   “Alcohol is the only drug on earth you have to justify NOT taking.” Annie Grace   Amanda is the founder of the group therapy practice, Therapy for Women Center, based in Philadelphia serving clients across the US. She has been featured in notable publications such as Forbes, Washington Post, Shape, Women's Health Magazine, and more.   For all things Amanda E White visit: amandaewhite.com To follow Amanda on Instagram: @therapyforwomen To download the free My Possible Self App: https://mypossibleself.app.link/podcast To follow My Possible Self on Instagram: @mypossibleself

Most of us know that alcohol is poison, it makes us feel shitty, and rarely leads to much good. Despite knowing this, it's easy to get pressured into drinking even if you don't want to. This episode is for all my sober-curious friends, who want a fun-filled life without being dependent on alcohol (or any substance for that matter). You will learn about... - the benefits of quitting, or at least reducing, your consumption of alcohol - how to set boundaries around alcohol around friends, family, and your partner - the link between adderall and alcohol - why alcohol makes us more turned on + ideas for sober dating - how to regulate your emotions before turning to your substance of choice (whether that's drinking, smoking, or scrolling) Regardless if quitting drinking is right for you or not, you can be less dependent on substances and thus, more emotionally aware, connected, and present in your life.

“Maybe you should reevaluate your relationship with alcohol”.   That's what my mother said to me when I was 23 after I told her I had spent a very long night on my bathroom floor throwing up bile. She might have said it again when I was 25 and jumped off the stage at my sister's wedding, tripped and slid across the dance floor on my knees in my maid of honor dress. And possibly for a third time when I shared that I had thrown up (on myself) in a taxi on a business trip at the age of 29. Oh, and a business colleague of mine was also in the cab..at 8am...on a Wednesday.  Mom was right. I definitely needed to examine my relationship with alcohol. But at the time there wasn't a framework to do that if your relationship with alcohol was problematic but you didn't identify as an “alcoholic” and had no interest in abstinence-based 12-step programs. Luckily, the world has changed a lot in the last 20 years. Amanda E. White, a licensed therapist and the creator of the popular Instagram account @therapyforwomen, is a big part of that change.  Amanda developed a resource called Not Drinking Tonight: The Workbook to help therapists, coaches and individuals examine one's relationship with alcohol by pivoting away from the question “Am I an alcoholic?” and instead consider “Would my life be better without alcohol?” I'm a big fan of Amanda's work and have interviewed her twice before on The Hello Someday Podcast. In episode #91 we talked about her first book, Not Drinking Tonight: A Guide to Creating a Sober Life You Love, and tools to heal your relationship with alcohol, boundaries, self care, self compassion, and so much more. And in episode 130, we talked about therapy for women and why women seek out therapy for support, the most important factors in determining positive outcomes for therapy, red flags to watch for if a therapist isn't the right fit for you, and why women often are not taught the foundational skills, they need to process difficult emotions. Amanda is here to share how to examine your relationship with alcohol and decide if it's working for you or if you're ready to take a break from drinking.  For full show notes and to access resources mentioned in this episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/148 Ready to drink less + live more?

Alcohol is a pervasive part of many of our lives, but have you ever questioned your relationship with alcohol? Taking an honest look at the way we use alcohol can be a powerful tool in identifying our motivations behind drinking, allowing us to make more conscious decisions and better manage our consumption.  Therapist, Author, and Founder of Therapy for Women, Amanda E. White is determined to challenge the traditional “black-and-white” outlook on “alcoholism” by encouraging people to unlock a deeper understanding of their relationship with alcohol.  Exploring practices from Amanda's books Not Drinking Tonight, A Guide to Creating A Sober Life and Not Drinking Tonight: The Workbook: A Clinician's Guide to Helping Clients Examine Their Relationship with Alcohol, we examine how to identify the purpose alcohol serves in your life and how to use this knowledge to recognize patterns of unhealthy behavior, develop boundaries and create a healthier lifestyle.  Listen and Learn:  Amanda's own journey with alcohol  Why people don't have the language to explore their relationship with alcohol Why Amanda's books are geared toward people who don't necessarily meet the criteria for an alcohol use disorder Why the black-and-white mentality of alcohol is problematic What makes us feel obligated to give the right reason for not drinking alcohol How therapists can examine the issue of alcohol use with their own patients Why do emotional relationships with alcohol make it increasingly harder to cut ties  Why Amanda coined the term ‘disordered drinking' How mindfulness practices can be helpful for people who want to change their drinking habits The importance of self-care in cutting down or quitting drinking  What to do if we think a loved one's relationship with alcohol is problematic, but they don't agree or they don't see it Resources:  Learn more about Amanda and her work here: https://amandaewhite.com/ If you are looking for modern approaches to therapy, visit Therapy for Women: https://therapyforwomencenter.com/  You can buy both of Amanda's books here: Not Drinking Tonight, A Guide to Creating A Sober Life: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780306925856 and Not Drinking Tonight: The Workbook: A Clinician's Guide to Helping Clients Examine Their Relationship with Alcohol: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781683735519 Follow Amanda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapyforwomen/ About Amanda E.

Therapy for women often focuses on a unique set of challenges experienced by women in their lives and in society. Some mental health issues are much more common in women than in men, some only appear in women, or some mental health issues may affect all genders but impact women differently. The US Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health reported that more than 1 in 5 women in the United States experienced a mental health condition in the past year, such as depression or anxiety. And the Mayo Clinic has found that women are nearly twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with depression. In therapy, women are able to work through how to set healthy boundaries, make a shift in their lives, resolve marital issues, move through divorce or infidelity or change limiting beliefs with confidential support from a trained professional.  I asked Amanda E. White, founder of Therapy For Women and the popular @therapyforwomen Instagram account to talk about all things women, mental health, disordered eating, alcohol abuse, sobriety and so much more.  For full show notes and to access resources mentioned in the episode, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/130 Ready to drink less + live more?

Gill discusses overwhelm. Getting overwhelmed is one reason we turn to alcohol. Maybe you drank after some sober time and then afterwards you don't even know why you did. Or maybe you find yourself feeling out of control and needing alcohol or food to bring you back down. In this episode, you'll learn about something called the amygdala hijack which prevents our rational thinking brain from working correctly. She explains what is happening in the brain when we get overwhelmed, how this tactic is used in the courtroom, and 3 strategies you can use to prevent overwhelm and calm yourself down without reaching for alcohol. Gill also shares a quick life update, because her own experience with the amygdala hijack has prompted her to make some career changes. She will tell you about what happened and what she's doing now.What to listen to next:E98: Emotion Intensity and How to Start Self-RegulatingE94: Drinking to Cope or Numb Out Doesn't Help, Here's How to Really CopeE45: Emotional OverwhelmE55: How to Power Through When You Want to Give UpE62: Dopamine Deep DiveE102: Alcohol and Your Dysregulated Nervous System With Beth Bowen, LMSWE82: So You Quit Drinking, Now is When the Work Starts with Amanda E.

Here is a list of the topics/questions they discuss: Amanda tells the truth about how she used to lie to her therapists (and why!)

Different types of sobriety: “maintenance” “California sober” “harm reduction” History of substance use treatment from asylums to community-based care like Alcoholics Anonymous Our thoughts on “always being an addict” or “always being an alcoholic” (Hint: Depends on the person!) How to evaluate or reevaluate your relationship with alcohol through many processes described in Amanda's new book “Not Drinking Tonight: A Guide to Creating A Sober Life You Love” How you've been conditioned to drink in all areas of your life because alcohol is a “main character” in this society (so true) What is “disordered drinking” and what does a more broad spectrum of substance usage look like? What are the signs you're becoming addicted to something? How shame and relapse are related and what to do about it How do you create a life you love and a life of meaning to help maintain your recovery?

Join Mike & Glenn in the Sober Coffee shop as we have a table for 3 with Amanda E. White !! We explore Amanda's story of Experience, Strength & Hope along with the “Value of Therapy” in Sobriety…. AND, we explore her book (guidebook) “Not Drinking Tonight”. A strong episode exploring solutions !!

You want to set healthy boundaries, but you feel guilty. A people-pleaser in a family that didn't talk about feelings, sweep everything under the rug, and maybe you were labeled as 'too emotional'. Then, you grew up believing you don't have the right to say no to things or stand up for yourself. Our guest today, Amanda E. White,  knows that journey, too. Amanda struggled with her own high expectations of herself  and the shame that comes when you don't meet those expectations- and all that shame manifested through drinking, an eating disorder, unhealthy relationships, and so much more. Growing up, you create a picture of yourself as a 'nice' person, and being a nice person means you do things for others, you help people, you say yes to things because you're nice. And, unfortunately, that doesn't set you up for success in healthy boundaries and protecting yourself, your time, and well-being. If you want to start working on setting some healthy boundaries, Amanda is going to give you a couple of key one-liners to get you started with healthy boundaries and lessening some of that guilt you feel when you think about it. As helping professionals it's your own journey of healing your wounds that leads you to do this work to help others. It is heart-centered and passion-based. I know for me, I have such a desire to support people in their journey because I know, firsthand, how difficult this deep personal work is. I know what it feels like to look at your life and feel disgusted and defeated. I know what it feels like to think you will never get your life together and be a good person because so many areas of your life are messed up and you can't even figure out where to start. That's where I was. And our guest, knows that journey, too. Learn more about Amanda by clicking here.  For more support and recovery conversation, join us in the Facebook group by clicking here.

Are you guilty of saying “Just one drink…” and then having three more? This weeks' guest, author, therapist, and “Retired Party Girl”, Amanda E. White, reminds us that alcohol is an addictive substance...even if we're not addicted to it! There's no call to cut it out completely, but instead we need to change our perceptions around alcohol in society and our own lives.

Amanda helps us explore a vast spectrum of questions when it comes to drinking do's and don'ts while reminding listeners that if your drinking habits are no longer a joyful part of a balanced lifestyle, it may be time to ask some deeper questions about your overall wellness.
