In this episode, Colleen continues sharing takeaways from her retreat with Dr. Amanda Hanson (midlifemuse) — and she names something that sits underneath so much of women's drinking, overgiving, perfectionism, and burnout: conditioning. Not just childhood conditioning — cultural conditioning. Colleen explains how patriarchy functions like an invisible rulebook: the expectations women follow without ever agreeing to them. Be good. Be pleasant. Be grateful. Don't be angry. Don't be too much. Don't embarrass anyone. Don't need too much. Don't take up space. Don't make people uncomfortable. And over time, those rules don't just shape behavior — they create trauma. They train women to silence their truth, distrust their instincts, and prioritize everyone else's emotional experience over their own. And when a woman is disconnected from her needs, her voice, and her power, escapism becomes inevitable. That's why Colleen connects this conversation directly to emotional sobriety: freedom isn't just about alcohol. It's about ending self-abandonment, taking radical ownership of your emotional life, and becoming the kind of woman who can handle discomfort without shrinking, pleasing, or numbing.

A weakening of a mechanism that produces a sense of satisfaction after drinking could lead to excessive alcohol consumption, a team of Japanese and other researchers has found.
Gentlemen… what if the bar isn't just a place to “blow off steam”… but a system designed to keep you from leveling up? In this episode, we break down a controversial idea: bars aren't evil, but they are efficient. Efficient at sedating ambition. Efficient at normalizing mediocrity. Efficient at keeping men distracted from building legacies in business, family, health, and leadership. We unpack: • How bar culture subtly suppresses masculine drive• Why alcohol reduces ambition while increasing tolerance for mediocrity• The economic machine behind a $1.5 trillion global alcohol industry• How bars keep men predictable, distracted, and emotionally underdeveloped• Why younger men are quietly drinking less and what that means for leadership• The rise of sober social spaces and cultural shifts happening right now This isn't a conspiracy rant. It's a performance conversation. You can't lead your company, your marriage, or your mission if your clarity is being fogged every weekend. Bars aren't just “fun.” They shape behavior. They shape habits. They shape culture. And the real rebellion in 2026?Leaving early. Staying sharp. Building something meaningful. If you care about masculinity, leadership, high performance, sobriety, and building a life that actually matters, this episode will challenge you. Looking for 1 on 1 Coaching?

Are you exhausted from thinking about your drinking all the time? Tired of analyzing, planning, negotiating, starting over, and wondering why it still feels so hard? In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I break down a phase of change that almost no one talks about—the moment when you're not motivated anymore, you're not excited, and you just want a break from thinking about alcohol altogether. You'll learn: Why feeling “over it,” unmotivated, or numb is a normal stage of emotional change What these thoughts really mean (and why they're not a sign you're failing) How to move through this phase without white-knuckling, quitting on yourself, or numbing out How support and self-trust matter most after the initial motivation fades This episode is for women who are sober curious, cutting back, taking alcohol-free breaks, or trying to change their relationship with alcohol especially if you're tired of thinking about it and want relief, clarity, and a more sustainable way forward.No shame, labels or muscle through advice here. Just honest insight into what's happening emotionally and how to keep moving forward with compassion and support. If you're ready to stop over-drinking and start living with more ease, this conversation will help you understand exactly where you are and what comes next. Now is the best time to have your support team on lock. Consider working with me privately or signing up for a retreat go here and see if talking to me directly would help. https://www.angelamascenik.com/claritycall
Can I Moderate? Why This Question Matters More Than We Talk About For most of my recovery journey, I held a pretty firm belief: If you're questioning your drinking, the answer is probably abstinence. That belief came from both lived experience, as well as observing other people who struggle with alcohol. Personally, I never drank normally. From the very first drink, the switch flipped on—and it stayed on. I hit a hard bottom early, and after years of trying to moderate, the answer for me was clear: I could not moderate. As it turned out, for me abstinence meant freedom. And still… Over time, something softened in me. Not because I changed my relationship with alcohol—but because I started listening more closely to other people's experiences. The Question Everyone Has to Answer for Themselves I've come to believe this: "Can I moderate?" is not a denial question. It's a developmental one. For many people, it's the pivot point of their entire recovery journey. Some people answer it quickly. Some answer it painfully. Some don't answer it until years—sometimes decades—later. But skipping the question doesn't make it disappear. And that's why my conversation with Nick Allen, CEO and co-founder of Sunnyside, felt so important. Nick grew up in an AA household. Both of his parents are in long-term recovery. He understands abstinence deeply—and still, his own relationship with alcohol took a different path. Instead of waiting for a crisis, he began asking a quieter question early on: What does a healthy relationship with alcohol look like for me—right now? That question eventually became Sunnyside: a platform designed to help people explore change before things fall apart. The Missing Middle Here's the reality I see again and again: Most people are offered two options: Figure it out Quit forever And when those are the only choices on the table, a huge number of people choose to keep trying to figure it out. Not because they're reckless. Not because they don't care. But because abstinence can feel overwhelming, stigmatizing, or premature—especially for people who are still functioning "well enough." Research suggests there's often a 10-year gap between when alcohol becomes a problem and when someone seeks help. Ten years. Think about what happens in ten years: Careers strained Health eroded Relationships damaged Kids absorbing instability they can't name yet Waiting is not neutral. Why Willpower Isn't the Answer One thing Nick and I aligned on immediately: Willpower is a terrible long-term strategy. Willpower is finite. It's lowest at the exact moments people need it most: After a long day During stress At the witching hour (5–7pm) On Fridays when it's "been a week" Sunnyside takes a different approach: Decisions are made ahead of time, when clarity is high Habits are supported with structure, not shame Accountability is externalized, not moralized This is how real behavior change works. A Word About Naltrexone (And Nuance) We also talked openly about naltrexone, a medication that's been FDA-approved for decades to help reduce alcohol cravings. Here's what matters: It doesn't make people sick It doesn't require abstinence It reduces the reward loop that drives compulsive drinking I've had clients use it successfully—particularly high-functioning people who struggled with the "off switch," not daily drinking. But for people earlier in the process—people quietly wondering, "Is this still working for me?"—tools like this can interrupt years of silent suffering. Language Matters More Than We Think One of the most powerful parts of this conversation was about vocabulary. Words like addict, alcoholic, relapse, recovery—they carry weight. For some people, they offer clarity and belonging. For others, they create shame, fear, and avoidance. If the language feels too heavy, people wait. Sunnyside intentionally avoids labels and instead talks about: Alcohol overuse Habit change Awareness Experimentation That shift alone can make change feel possible. Where I Land Now I'm still sober and have no desire to drink again. I still believe abstinence is the right path for most people who struggle with alcohol. And I also believe we need earlier, gentler, more honest entry points into change. The goal of sobriety—or moderation, or reduction—isn't the absence of alcohol. It's: Freedom Health Presence A life that actually works If someone can get there sooner, with less damage along the way, I'm all for it. Action Steps If this resonated, here are a few grounded next steps: Ask the question honestly Is alcohol adding to my life—or quietly taking from it? Move from judgment to curiosity You don't need a label to run an experiment. Plan ahead of cravings Decisions made in advance beat willpower every time. Seek support early Coaching, tracking, community, and medical tools are preventative—not last resorts. Protect what already works If abstinence is serving you, honor that. No need to second-guess stability.

Many people are saying the same thing lately: “I'm overwhelmed by everything.”In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores what overwhelm actually is from a neuroscience perspective. Is it just busyness? Or is something deeper happening in the brain?Drawing from research on the amygdala, stress hormones, working memory, and executive function, Molly explains how overwhelm is not about volume alone. It is about perceived overload and a loss of prioritization. When the brain detects too many competing demands and not enough resources, it shifts from organizing to alarming.This episode also revisits a recent WisdomWednesday quote about replacing “I'm overwhelmed” with “I need to decide what matters most and go slow.” Molly clarifies why that statement is directionally true but not neurologically instant. She explains how language influences prediction, prediction shapes physiology, and physiology drives behavior.What You'll LearnWhy overwhelm is a perception of overload, not simply busynessHow the amygdala flags cognitive threatWhat happens to the prefrontal cortex under stressWhy everything feels urgent when executive function is compromisedThe difference between descriptive and prescriptive thoughtsHow repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces neural prediction loopsWhy prioritization restores cognitive flexibilityHow cognitive reappraisal shifts neural activity over timeKey Concepts ExplainedPerceived Overload Overwhelm occurs when the brain interprets demands as exceeding available resources.Amygdala Activation When ambiguity, uncertainty, and competing priorities rise, the amygdala signals threat, increasing stress hormones like cortisol and norepinephrine.Executive Function The prefrontal cortex is responsible for planning, sequencing, prioritizing, and organizing. Under stress, its efficiency decreases.Descriptive vs Prescriptive Thinking Some thoughts label experience. Others shape future experience. Repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces prediction patterns that sustain the feeling.Cognitive Reappraisal Research shows that reinterpreting a situation increases prefrontal cortex activity and decreases amygdala activation over time.Why Language MattersWhen you repeatedly say “I'm overwhelmed,” your brain begins scanning for confirming evidence. Increased vigilance raises stress. Stress reduces clarity. Reduced clarity reinforces overwhelm.Replacing that statement with a prioritizing phrase does not instantly shut down the alarm system. However, it recruits executive function and begins shifting neural activity toward organization and task-based thinking.Language guides prediction. Prediction guides physiology. Physiology guides behavior.Practical ReframeInstead of:“I'm overwhelmed.”Try:What matters most today?What is the next smallest step?What can wait?This is not positive thinking. It is restoring organizing capacity.Overwhelm signals that prioritization has collapsed. Prioritization is a skill that can be strengthened.Behavior Change ConnectionPeople often abandon habits when they feel overwhelmed, not because they lack discipline, but because executive function is compromised.You cannot build new neural pathways from a chronically alarmed state.Restoring order supports follow-through. ★ Support this podcast ★

Hadley Sorensen didn't stop drinking four years ago because everything fell apart. She quit because something felt off, even though from the outside, her drinking looked completely normal. That intuitive hit led her to do what only 1% of people ever do – write the book she couldn't find: The Dirty Truth on Social Drinking: "Everything in Moderation" and Other BS. Hadley talks about how she is dismantling the toxic narratives around "mommy wine juice culture" which can keep you stuck in shame, and the belief that you need a dramatic reason to quit. You don't need to keep doing something that makes you feel like crap just because everyone else is. IN THIS EPISODE: Why moderate alcohol use can leave you feeling out of alignment and stuck in shame The surprising discoveries Hadley made about her friendships since ditching alcohol Why Hadley lost followers when she stopped being the "wine-loving fitness mom" Why she wrote the book she desperately needed and couldn't find anywhere How mommy wine juice culture is evolving from sippy cups to perimenopause jokes LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Learn more about Hadley Sorensen's book, The Dirty Truth on Social Drinking.

Tattoo culture has always been wrapped in rebellion, late nights, and heavy drinking, but what happens when an artist decides to create without numbing? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane Ramer sits down with renowned tattoo artist Jeff Crabtree to talk about art, identity, discipline, and the uncomfortable truths no one wants to admit about creativity and alcohol. Jeff opens up about his journey through addiction, tattoo culture, and how sobriety didn't kill his edge, it sharpened it. Together, they unpack why so many creative industries normalize burnout and substance use, how sobriety changes the way you show up in your craft, and what it really takes to build a legacy instead of just a reputation. This conversation goes deeper than tattoos. It's about mastery, presence, masculinity, and creating something meaningful without destroying yourself in the process. In this episode, we cover: How sobriety impacts creativity, focus, and discipline Identity beyond the “artist lifestyle” The difference between rebellion and self-control What it means to build long-term success without self-sabotage Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or just someone questioning the role alcohol plays in your life, this episode will challenge some deeply ingrained narratives, and challenges the status quo. www.lighthousetattooidaho.com @lighthousetattoo.id Warrior Heart Boot Camp - Use promo code SOBERGUY and get $100 off any 2026 Boot Camp!

You told yourself this morning you weren't going to drink tonight. But now that it's time to make that decision, it feels impossible to say no. That moment is exactly what Colleen breaks down in this episode — because the path forward requires you to understand that this is not a lack of discipline and it's not a willpower problem. The relief you feel when you take that first sip has nothing to do with alcohol. It's about what's been happening inside your body all day long — the dumpster fire of stress and anxiety that has chronically become your state of normal. In this episode, Colleen teaches you the foundational skill that changes the way you move through your entire day, so that by evening, instead of telling yourself no, you're telling yourself yes — and there are a lot more options on the menu than just drinking. In This Episode: The two versions of you: regulated vs. dysregulated, and why you're a completely different decision-maker in each state Why your body isn't craving alcohol — it's craving relief The difference between skills and strategies, and why strategies fail without this foundational skill Practical strategies that work when you're regulated: Delay Don't Deny, mental rehearsal, talking to your tomorrow self, and extracting the lesson instead of spiraling in shame The RISE framework: Recognize, Integrate, Strategize, Embody What it takes to become the version of you who can take or leave alcohol You don't need to be "ready." You just need to be honest with yourself about where you are. Start with a Discovery Call. CLICK HERE.

Send a textMy guest on this week's episode of Thrive Solo, is the gorgeous Sarah Bennett, a single and childfree sober coach living in Hertfordshire. In her 30s, Sarah felt under huge pressure to find a partner and have children. As friends settled down and started families, she often felt left behind. In trying to numb the loneliness and deep sense of inadequacy she felt, Sarah's drinking steadily increased. But instead of helping, it left her feeling lower and more depressed, with hangovers that made her feel even more alone, and a growing sense of shame and being out of control. Sarah is now 54 and in a very, very different place. She had already come to terms with being childless (although these days she calls herself childfree), but after her last relationship ended a couple of years ago, she decided to stop drinking. This has transformed her life in ways she couldn't have imagined, and she is finally comfortable in her own skin, and has learnt to love and accept herself exactly as she is, without feeling like she needs a relationship or children to validate her life. Last year, Sarah trained with The Sober Club and became an accredited sober coach, and she now runs The Sobriety Society, supporting women who want to change their relationship with alcohol. She's worked with women in many different situations, but her heart is very much with those who are single and childless.02:06 Guest Introduction: Sarah Bennett's Journey02:19 Sarah's Struggles and Transformation03:17 The Sobriety Society and Coaching05:07 Sarah's Single Life and Reflections17:35 Challenges of Drinking and Finding Clarity32:19 The Benefits of Quitting Alcohol33:40 Social Pressures and Reactions to Quitting37:54 Personal Experiences and Challenges43:59 Coaching and Helping Others52:37 Health Risks and Statistics56:45 Final Thoughts and ResourcesCheck out Sarah's website: https://www.thesobrietysociety.co.uk/Follow Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesobrietysocietyukFind Sarah on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesobrietysocietyuk Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

Last week marked World Cancer Day, and in this episode, Molly revisits an important—and often misunderstood—topic: the relationship between alcohol and cancer.This is not a new conversation, and it's not a reaction to headlines. Instead, it's part of an ongoing commitment to helping you understand the science well enough to make informed, intentional choices about alcohol—without fear, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking.One reason this topic continues to matter is a striking gap in awareness: while nearly 90% of adults recognize smoking as a cancer risk, fewer than half realize that alcohol is also classified as a carcinogen Project 1 (50). That lack of awareness makes informed choice difficult—and that's what this episode aims to address.In this episode, you'll learn:Why alcohol is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, and what that designation actually meansThe seven types of cancer that are clearly linked to alcohol use, including breast cancerHow alcohol increases cancer risk at a biological level (acetaldehyde, inflammation, hormones, and nutrient disruption)Why alcohol research in humans is mostly observational, and what that means for how we interpret the dataThe critical difference between relative risk and absolute risk—and why this distinction mattersWhat experts mean when they say there is “no safe level” of alcohol for cancer riskHow to think about cancer risk through an Alcohol Minimalist, harm-reduction lensKey takeaways:Alcohol does increase cancer risk, but risk is dose-dependent and cumulative, not absolute or immediateRelative risk headlines often sound scarier than the actual, absolute numbersYou do not need perfection—or abstinence—to meaningfully reduce riskReducing frequency, quantity, and duration of drinking patterns mattersAlcohol Minimalism is about reducing unnecessary exposure, not eliminating all riskThis episode is about clarity, not commands. Science isn't here to scare you—it's here to inform you.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by alcohol and health messaging, this episode offers a calmer, more grounded way to understand the risks and decide what feels right for you.As always, choose peace.Resources mentioned:TIME Magazine article on alcohol and cancer riskCDC information on alcohol-related cancersAlcohol Minimalist framework for informed, harm-reduction decision makingIf this episode was helpful, consider sharing it with someone who would appreciate a thoughtful, non-alarmist conversation about alcohol and health.Low 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 ★
Drinking more water does not automatically mean you are better hydrated, especially when that water cannot actually enter the cell. For many women in midlife, fatigue, bloating, and persistent water retention can show up even when intake looks right.We dive deeper into this in the latest The Well Drop Podcast episode with Jane Emma. We also chat about the real difference between filtered and purified water, why daily electrolyte use can backfire, and how hydration efficiency at the cellular level shapes how the body handles water.Jane Emma is the founder and CEO of The Goodfor Company, a water wellness company rethinking water quality, hydration, and how the systems we use at home impact overall health. She is a speaker in the wellness and environmental health space and has extensive experience working with purification standards.What's Discussed:(00:00) Why drinking more water doesn't actually fix hydration for most women(06:02) Filtered vs purified water and what most systems fail to remove(09:00) Hydration vs intake and why electrolytes alone don't hydrate cells(10:12) The daily electrolyte habit and how it can worsen thirst and hormones(16:05) Chlorine exposure through showers and skin absorption(25:52) Pharmaceuticals and contaminants in municipal water(31:38) Structured water and cellular hydration efficiency(40:05) Bloating and water retention as hydration issues in midlifeThank You to Our Sponsors:Wellness at Home Starts with Water: Use code WELLDROP at https://thegoodforco.com/thewelldrop Sign up for The Well Drop Newsletter: hereFind out more about Amber Berger: Website: http://thewelldrop.com Instagram: @thewelldropFind out more about Jane Emma (The Goodfor Co.): Website: https://thegoodforco.com/thewelldrop Instagram: @thegoodforcoFacebook: https://facebook.com/thegoodforco

In today's episode, Gina discusses the detrimental role alcohol can play in our anxiety formation and how taking a break from alcohol consumption can contribute to our anxiety recovery. During the initial phases of effects of alcohol consumption, anxiety can be relieved, but the after effects are quite the opposite. Over time, alcohol intake can make us less resilient to stress and more likely to make anxiety a chronic condition.

Alcohol is often a topic that merits discussion in the realm of anxiety coaching, and rather than applying any moral judgment to its use, I approach it with curiosity and a desire to understand how it impacts our nervous systems. Life can be overwhelming, and understanding how alcohol intertwines with anxiety offers a chance for relief and healing.I start by addressing a fundamental aspect: the sense of safety. While many anxiety triggers often stem from perceived dangers, I encourage listeners to acknowledge that if they are tuned in, they are likely safe. Establishing this baseline of safety allows us to explore the potential effects of alcohol on mental health without the cloud of past judgments or shame. The intent isn't about completely abstaining from alcohol forever or adhering to strict rules, but rather understanding the nuances of how alcohol can provide temporary relief but ultimately disrupt our nervous system balance.What unfolds in our discussion is a deep dive into the neurochemical effects of alcohol. Initially, alcohol may appear to alleviate anxiety due to its qualities as a central nervous system depressant, which increases the calming neurotransmitter GABA while dampening glutamate signals that drive anxiety. This biological response can create a temporary reprieve from anxious thoughts and social discomfort. However, this calming effect is short-lived, and as the alcohol dissipates from the body, a compensatory rebound occurs, leading to heightened anxiety, increased stress hormones, and disrupted sleep patterns.#AnxietyRelief #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #AlcoholAndAnxiety #NervousSystemRegulation #Hangxiety #SoberCurious #DryJanuary #MentalHealthMatters #NervousSystemHealing #CortisolControl #GABA #Glutamate #MorningAnxiety #StressManagement #HolisticHealth #MindBodyConnection #SelfCareJourney #EmotionalWellness #Sobriety #HealthyHabits #MentalClarity #SleepHygiene #AnxietySupport #HealingJourney #OvercomingAnxiety #BrainHealth #WellnessTips #InnerPeace #CalmDown #StressRelief #VagusNerve #SomaticExperiencing #Mindfulness #HealthAndWellness #AlcoholFree #BiohackingMentalHealth #SelfGrowth #MentalHealthAwarenessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Mitch Ammons story is no longer just a comeback story. He's now a living case study of what happens when discipline compounds.Last time Mitch was here he had run a 2:16 marathon, which was fast enough to qualify for the 2024 US Olympic Marathon trials. But he had bigger dreams. And the quiet workhorse has since improved upon that impressive time with a new marathon PR of 2:14:48 at the California International Marathon in December of 2025. (This qualifies him for the 2028 US Olympic Marathon trials.)He also won the 2025 Austin Half Marathon with a time of 1:08:34, winning in a big way on his home course. Mitch continues to train as a member of the Bat City Track Club in Austin. He is also an athlete for BPN (Bare Performance Nutrition) and Altra Running.In the ultra-running realm, Mitch has expressed that he wants to run the 2026 Go One More Last Man Standing Ultramarathon again, an event he competed in last year (he finished third with 126 miles). Outside of running, he continues to work as a full-time realtor in Austin for the Landy Frost Group.Mitch Ammons didn't come back to retell the same story. He came back to show what sustained belief looks like in real time. Tap into the Mitch Ammons Special.

What happens when sobriety becomes a cultural priority, not just a personal choice? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we break down the Great American Recovery Plan and explore what it could mean if America truly shifted toward treatment over punishment, real recovery infrastructure, and accountability with support. This conversation goes beyond politics and into culture, identity, performance, and leadership, especially for men navigating business, family, and health in a world built on distraction and sedation. We also examine the broader recovery messaging gaining traction around: Mental health and addiction recovery Food quality and physical health Pharma dependence and long-term consequences Sobriety as personal sovereignty and leadership We ask the uncomfortable questions: What industries struggle when people get clear-minded? Why is avoidance normalized while discipline is questioned? What changes when men stop numbing and start leading? This episode isn't about telling you what to think, it's about helping you see the system clearly and decide for yourself. If you're interested in sobriety, recovery, mental clarity, personal growth, and high-performance living, this episode will challenge you, in a good way. Listen now and join the conversation.

There's a point in many recovery journeys where insight stops being the problem. You know what to do. You understand your patterns. And yet… change still feels hard. In this episode, I talk with Paula Robbins, author of Hitchhiking Into Recovery, who has over 37 years of sobriety, about why that happens—and what actually sustains healing over the long haul. The Ride That Opened the Door Paula's recovery didn't begin with a dramatic intervention. It began when she was picked up hitchhiking in 1988 by someone living a sober, connected life. That single interaction mattered because it interrupted isolation. Not with willpower. With connection. Addiction Is a Disconnection Problem Paula grew up with trauma, neglect, and instability. Alcohol became a way to shut down overwhelming emotions long before she had language for what was happening. By age 12, she was drinking to blackout. What stands out isn't just the trauma—it's what was missing: Safety Emotional guidance Consistent connection Addiction wasn't a moral failure. It was a survival strategy. Feelings Aren't Facts One of Paula's most grounding principles is simple: Feelings and facts are not the same. Recovery didn't eliminate difficult emotions—it created space to respond instead of react. That pause is where real change happens. The Four Pillars That Sustain Recovery After decades of sobriety, Paula distilled what actually works into four stabilizing forces: Community – healing happens in relationship Mentorship – someone to help you see clearly Service – contribution rebuilds self-esteem Daily spiritual alignment – prayer, meditation, or quiet time These pillars show up in every effective recovery model because they address the root issue: disconnection. Divine Alignment vs. Self-Will Paula explains divine alignment not as certainty, but as a felt sense. When she's controlling outcomes, she feels restless and tight. When she surrenders—even briefly—things soften. Sometimes all it takes is the simple phrase: "Thy will be done." A Gentle Reminder If change feels hard, it doesn't mean you're failing. It may simply mean effort isn't the missing piece—connection is. One Small Action Try just one: Strengthen one pillar that feels weak Take a 5-minute daily pause Offer one small act of service Notice a feeling without acting on it Healing doesn't require fixing yourself. It starts with not doing it alone. Resources Mentioned Hitchhiking Into Recovery 12-Step Recovery Programs Step 3 Prayer Step 11: Prayer and Meditation Service work in recovery Guest Contact Info:
In this Think Thursday episode, we explore how the human brain evolved to use discomfort as information—and what happens when modern life removes nearly all friction, effort, and delay.Our brains weren't designed for constant comfort. Discomfort once served as critical feedback, helping guide behavior, attention, rest, and problem-solving. But in today's world of instant gratification and instant relief, discomfort is often treated as a problem to eliminate rather than a signal to interpret.This episode unpacks why that shift matters for brain health, motivation, resilience, and long-term satisfaction—and how intentional discomfort can support a hedonic reset.In this episode, we discuss:Why discomfort evolved as a key feedback mechanism in the human brainHow instant relief interrupts the brain's ability to learn from discomfortThe difference between regulation and comfort from a neuroscience perspectiveHow highly concentrated, low-effort rewards shape motivation and satisfactionThe concept of hedonic adaptation and why “enough” keeps movingWhat a hedonic reset actually is (and what it isn't)How intentional discomfort supports nervous system regulationThe role of dopamine, effort, and delay in sustaining motivationWhy distress tolerance is a foundational skill for behavior changeHow identity shifts through repeated, slightly uncomfortable choicesExpert perspectives referenced:Dr. Anna Lembke, author of Dopamine Nation, on pleasure–pain balance and modern reward concentrationDr. Andrew Huberman on dopamine signaling, effort, and motivationJames Clear on identity following behaviorInspiration from a conversation on the Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. LembkeOne gentle experiment to try this week:Choose one moment per day when you notice mild discomfort—boredom, restlessness, or the urge to distract—and pause instead of fixing it.Examples:Standing in line without reaching for your phoneSitting with boredom for 60–90 secondsLetting an urge rise and fall without reactingNotice:Where you feel the sensation in your bodyWhat thoughts show upWhether the feeling changes on its ownThis isn't about forcing discomfort or pushing through distress. It's about teaching your nervous system that discomfort is tolerable and temporary—and that awareness alone can create change.Key takeaway:Discomfort isn't a problem to solve. It's information to work with.In a culture built around instant relief and effortless reward, intentional discomfort can be a powerful way to restore balance, protect motivation, and support long-term brain health. ★ Support this podcast ★
Experience a guided Reiki and shamanic journey to anchor your internal stability. This journey is the companion to our teaching on the transition from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Fire Horse. As we navigate collective chaos and "disturbances in the field," this journey helps you align your Divine Mind with your human presence. We travel to the Third Heaven and the Hall of Gifts and Nourishments to release ancestral cords, receive spiritual nourishment, and awaken the "Tree of Life" within you. Use this practice to clear the fog of the world, activate your inner vision, and prepare for the new beginnings of 2026. Key Spiritual Transitions in This Journey Aligning your Multiple Minds We begin by using the Mental-Emotional symbol (SHK) to align the Divine Mind with your heart mind, gut mind, and earth mind. This creates the "Authentic Intellect" needed for clear discernment during chaotic times. The Hall of Gifts & Nourishment In the enlightened realm of the Third Heaven, we enter a great cathedral of spirit. Here, you receive specific gifts of Creativity, Curiosity, and Innovation. This is where we replenish the energy spent on "stability" so you have the fuel to manifest. Completing Ancestral Cycles We utilize the Distance Symbol (HSZSN) to bridge through time, completing ancestral histories that are ready to be let go. By releasing these cords, you claim the "love of thousands" while leaving behind the burdens that no longer serve your lineage. Eagle and Mouse Vision Integration As we return to the physical realm, we practice shifting between the high-level perspective of the Eagle and the immediate, detailed focus of the Mouse. This ensures that your spiritual insights become practical, daily actions. Navigating Spiritual Stability How can I stay stable when the world feels chaotic? Stability is found by aligning your core "Tree of Life" energy. This journey guides you to connect with the deep roots of the Earth and the branches of the Heavens, allowing you to stay present and kind even when external energies are "wobbly." What are the "Living Waters of Peace"? In this journey, the River of Life represents pure consciousness and creative flow. Drinking these waters helps wash away "collective static" and corded attachments to worldly worries.

Why does watching sports without a drink feel like something is missing? Whether you love the game, tolerate it, or just see it as an excuse to get together, alcohol can feel baked into the entire experience. When you start thinking about drinking less, this connection can make it feel like sports, parties, or even belonging itself won't be the same. Listen in this week to learn why sports and drinking feel so connected and what's really happening in your brain when alcohol isn't there. You'll hear how expectations, not necessity, drive that uneasy or restless feeling, why your brain often interprets "unexpected" as "something's wrong," and how to relate differently to boredom, excitement, or social pressure on game day.

This episode is brought to you by: Café RE – THE social app for sober people. Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help [02:47] Thoughts from Paul: Last week Paul talked about the intentional phase of sobriety: choosing what you want to explore next and how you are going to fill the void left by alcohol. Looking at Lewis and Clark, we know that no expedition goes according to plan. So this week we will talk about setbacks because they're part of life. Maybe it's relapse (or Field Research as we refer to it in RE). Maybe it's an injury that sidelines your new running routine or an illness that drains your energy for weeks. Or it may just be life being life. The thing about setbacks – they don't erase your progress; they're just part of the terrain. If you drink again, you have not gone back to zero. You've gathered data. You know more now than you did before – about triggers, patterns, what works and what doesn't. The goal here is not perfection, it's persistence. If you are facing a setback – big or small – ask yourself: what's the adjusted route? Not "should I give up?" but "how do I keep moving forward from here?" [7:46] Paul introduces Jack: Jack grew up in New Jersey but now lives in LA. He is a runner and currently training for a marathon. He loves movies and video games, and he is currently taking a fragrance development course and plans to build his own brand and launch his own fragrance in the future. Growing up, Jack was always sensitive and shy kid. His parents drank and alcohol was just a regular part of life with wine at dinner and craft beer always around. As a teenager, Jack drank to fit in at parties. Jack is gay and used alcohol to cancel out his anxiety and the awkwardness he felt socially. He says he didn't drink all the time and there were no real consequences, just teenage experimentation, Jack drank on the weekends through college and enjoyed going out to gay clubs. After transferring from Savannah back to NYC, he finished school and got a job as a graphic designer. Drinking became a daily activity on his commutes and on weekends. Jack also began moonlighting as a DJ hosting parties in Manhattan and Brooklyn, something he always dreamed of doing when he was a teenager. This opened up a new world of nightlife for Jack. Jack would drink all night while DJ'ing and go to work a few hours later. He had his first panic attack at work and while he knew that it was the hangover that triggered it but found that alcohol gave him instant relief. Blackouts began to happen regularly, and it dawned on Jack that he wasn't sure he was going to be able to stop drinking. Jack became sober-curious in 2016. He started reading books and taking time off from drinking. Soon after this started his partner had an opportunity to go to grad school in Boston and Jack felt like this could be a clean slate. After a few years alcohol-free, Jack felt like he could handle alcohol again. He planned to drink on his birthday. This opened the door for regression and within 6 months, the pandemic found Jack drinking just like he was before. Jack's anxiety and panic attacks caused by his alcohol abuse were getting the best of him. After a rough weekend in Vegas, he drank through that holiday and knew that he couldn't continue to drink. He had heard about RE's Dry January course and burned the ships with his partner. Jack said the course was exactly what he needed at the time and he knew within the first week that this is how he wants to live his life. He felt the pink cloud and euphoria from making the daily decision to be sober. He is an active member in Café RE, enjoys running, hiking, meditation and finding connections with community. Jack says he has gone from Passive Sobriety to Active Recovery. Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down You got to take the stairs back up We can do this.
