Sign Up for Mostly Dry January--The DailyIn this Think Thursday episode, Molly explains why the holiday season can feel emotionally harder even when nothing is “wrong.” Using neuroscience and psychology, she introduces the concept of the window of tolerance and explores how cumulative stress, anticipation, sensory overload, emotional memory, and disrupted routines narrow our capacity for regulation during December.Molly walks through what happens in the brain under prolonged stress, including the role of cortisol, emotional flooding, and nervous system survival responses. She reframes coping behaviors as signals of an overwhelmed nervous system rather than a lack of discipline, and shares realistic, supportive ways to gently expand capacity during a demanding season.What You'll LearnWhat the window of tolerance is and why it mattersHow December compresses our stress tolerance through cumulative demandsWhy anticipation can activate stress before events even happenThe role of cortisol in emotional flooding and impulse controlHow the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus are affected by prolonged stressWhy coping urges increase when nervous system capacity is lowPractical, doable ways to support regulation without adding pressureKey Concepts ExplainedWindow of tolerance as a flexible range that expands and contractsHyperarousal and hypoarousal as nervous system survival statesEmotional flooding when feelings rise faster than regulation systems can manageCapacity over discipline as a more helpful framework for behavior change during stressful seasonsPractical Tools Shared in the EpisodeCreating predictability with small daily routinesUsing gentle movement to lower cortisolSupporting the nervous system through sensory regulation like warmth, sound, and lightTaking frequent micro recovery moments rather than long breaksNaming emotions to reduce amygdala activationAdjusting expectations when capacity is lowerChoosing stability over optimization during high stress periodsResearch and References MentionedDr. Dan Siegel's Window of Tolerance modelResearch in Psychoneuroendocrinology on cortisol and prolonged stressNeuroscience findings on stress effects in the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampusUCLA research on affect labeling and emotion regulationThe Feelings Wheel by Dr. Gloria Wilcox, referenced from Breaking the Bottle LegacyRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Neuroscience of AnticipationSelective IgnoranceDefensive PessimismNovelty for Habit ChangeThe Neuroscience of Mental Rest ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly explores one of the most powerful yet under-recognized tools for transforming your relationship with alcohol: the language you use in your thoughts.She explains how common phrases like “I need a drink” or “I deserve this glass of wine” are not just throwaway expressions. These words create specific emotional reactions that drive habitual behaviors, especially during emotionally charged moments. Using the Alcohol Minimalist framework and the Behavior Map – Results Cycle, Molly walks through how rewording your thoughts can unlock more peaceful, intentional decisions about drinking.This episode focuses on two key language pairs:“Need” vs. “Want”“Deserve” vs. “Choose”You'll discover how shifting these words can reduce emotional urgency, increase your sense of agency, and help you align more closely with your alcohol core beliefs and long-term goals.What You'll LearnWhy your thoughts matter more than you think—especially the words you useThe neurological and emotional impact of saying “I need” versus “I want”How “I deserve this” may be fueling your desire without your awarenessWhy choosing your language intentionally supports long-term changeHow to rewire beliefs using the Alcohol Core Beliefs framework and the Behavior Map – Results CycleMentioned in the EpisodeMolly's book: Breaking the Bottle LegacyAlcohol Core Beliefs worksheetThe Behavior Map – Results CycleNew program announcement: Mostly Dry January – The Daily A daily support experience launching this January to help you stay focused, inspired, and mindful throughout the month.Key Quote“Your thoughts are not just background noise—they're the engine behind your emotions and actions.

When you catch yourself thinking “I need a drink” or “I deserve this,” pause and reframe it. Try saying “I want a drink” or “I choose to have a drink” and notice the emotional difference.Language is the entry point to lasting change.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 ★

I am with Fertility Nutritionist Kirsty Harrison to discuss the complexities of alcohol consumption during the festive season, when you are trying to conceive. We chat about societal pressures surrounding drinking at Christmas, the impact of alcohol on fertility, and provide practical advice for making informed choices. We discussWhy the festive season can be sp emotionally charged How the research indicates that alcohol can negatively impact fertility outcomes.Moderation is key; under four drinks a week is advisable for those trying to conceive.How it's important for both partners to be on the same page regarding alcohol consumption.Why enjoying a drink without guilt can have positive emotional benefits.Why maintaining healthy habits during the holiday season can support fertility efforts.How research and evidence can help couples make informed decisions about drinking.Here is a link to one of the research papers referred to.For more fertility support, we have so much to offer — both online and in person:
How Journaling, Community & Self-Compassion Can Transform Recovery: A Conversation with Sonia In this episode, Sonia from Sisters in Sobriety joins us for a deeply honest conversation about recovery, journaling, trauma, and rebuilding life after addiction. Sonia shares how her drinking escalated from teenage experimentation to daily wine-drinking as a high-functioning professional. While she never had the "traditional" external bottom, she described being emotionally bottomed out — chronically ill, blacking out, and unable to imagine a future. What finally shifted? A moment of clarity at brunch, when she said "no" to a mimosa for the first time. From there, she began exploring sobriety through AA literature, community support, and eventually the practice that changed everything: journaling. Key topics we covered: Moderation vs. abstinence: Some people can moderate; some can't. Addiction exists on a spectrum. Trauma and dissociation: Many of us learned early to ignore our intuition and numb discomfort. Healing through writing: Journaling processes emotions the same way talking to a friend does. Different journaling styles: Morning pages (The Artist's Way) Gratitude lists Emotional processing Prompt-based journaling Somatic/body-scan journaling Rebuilding after betrayal: Journaling helped Sonia reclaim her identity after divorce. The importance of community: A network of supportive women helped her through the darkest moments. ACTION ITEMS FOR LISTENERS ✔️ Try morning pages for 7 days — write 3 pages of unfiltered thoughts every morning. ✔️ Start a nightly gratitude list focusing on 3 things from that day. ✔️ Practice a weekly "body-scan journal session" and write about physical sensations + emotions. ✔️ Identify 3 people you can call when you're struggling — and practice willingness calls. ✔️ Reflect on the question: Can I moderate? — and be honest with your evidence.

Episode SummaryIn this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores why December feels so emotionally intense and why anticipation plays such a powerful role in our thoughts, feelings, and habits. Anticipation is not just psychological. It is driven by the brain's predictive systems that simulate the future long before it arrives.Using findings from neuroscience, including research highlighted in Neuron, University College London, Stanford University, and studies on dopamine and reward processing, Molly explains how imagining the future changes our emotional state in the present. She shows how anticipation can create craving, heighten anxiety, and influence behavior before anything even happens.Importantly, she connects this science to behavior change. When we understand anticipation, we gain the ability to shape our emotional experience, support our habit goals, and build a stronger relationship with our future selves.What You Will LearnWhy the brain is not reactive but predictiveHow the prospection network simulates possible futuresWhy anticipation activates the same regions involved in memory and emotionHow dopamine spikes during anticipation more than during rewardWhy the holidays intensify emotional forecastingHow the brain treats future you similarly to a strangerHow anticipation contributes to cravings, stress, and anxietyPractical strategies for using anticipation intentionally in behavior changeKey Insights from the EpisodeAnticipation is a physiological experience. Heart rate, dopamine, and emotional readiness all shift based on prediction.December amplifies anticipation because the brain is projecting ahead using vivid emotional memories from past holidays.Many habit patterns with alcohol, eating, and spending are anticipatory rather than reactive in the moment.The medial prefrontal cortex becomes less active when imagining the distant future, which explains why future you feels separate.Mental rehearsal activates the same neural pathways as actual behavior and can support intentional change.Anticipatory framing can influence how stressful events are interpreted afterward.Practical Tools from the Episode1. Anticipate the emotional landscape, not the event. Shift from worrying about what will happen to planning for how you want to feel.2. Rehearse your chosen identity. Imagine yourself acting in alignment with your values to strengthen the neural pathways that support follow-through.3. Shorten the distance to future you. Ask questions like:What will tonight's me thank me forWhat does tomorrow morning's me need4. Anticipate urges with curiosity. Recognize that urges are forecasts of relief, not emergencies.5. Create micro anticipations that ground you. Examples include expecting the first sip of warm tea, a quiet step outside, or the feeling of waking up proud the next morning.Studies and Sources Mentioned2023 review in Neuron on the prospection networkUniversity College London study on dopamine release during anticipatory uncertaintyStanford University research on future self representation in the brainStudies from the University of Michigan and Max Planck Institute on dopamine and anticipation2024 Psychological Science study on anticipatory framing and stress interpretation ★ Support this podcast ★

Die Schweiz scheint Krisen erstaunlich gut wegzustecken; mitunter profitiert sie sogar davon. Doch ist das ein Zeichen echter Antifragilität – oder bloss ein glücklicher Sonderfall? Welche Mechanismen im Föderalismus und in der direkten Demokratie fördern Anpassungs- und Lernfähigkeit? Wo zeigen sich hingegen Trägheit oder Überlastung? Und welche Rolle kommt den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern zu? Über diese Fragen diskutierten am «Monday for Future» Gerhard Pfister (Nationalrat Die Mitte, ZG), Tiana Angelina Moser (Ständerätin GLP, ZH), Silja Häusermann (Professorin für Schweizer Politik, Universität Zürich) sowie Patrick Leisibach (Avenir Suisse) unter der Moderation von Philipp Burkhardt, Leiter der SRF-Bundeshausredaktion. The post Antifragilität: Wie wächst die Schweiz an Krisen, statt sie nur zu überstehen? appeared first on Avenir Suisse.

In this episode, Molly explores why holiday creativity is far more than a nostalgic pastime. New research highlighted in The Washington Post shows that engaging in creative activities, even at a beginner level, is associated with younger looking brains and stronger cognitive health.Molly explains how creative acts like crafting, drawing, baking and building stimulate multiple brain networks, reduce stress hormones, and support emotional regulation.She connects these findings to childhood holiday memories while discussing why those early creative experiences were neurologically important. Molly also shares how creativity can support habit change by providing a healthy reward pathway, reducing urges, and strengthening identity. The episode ends with simple, low pressure ideas for tapping into creativity during the holiday season.What You'll LearnWhy creativity often feels counterintuitive but is deeply supported by neuroscienceHow creative activities activate the motor cortex, prefrontal cortex, reward system and the default mode networkThe connection between creativity, reduced cortisol, and emotional regulationWhy childhood crafting strengthened attention, fine motor skills and dopamine pathwaysHow creativity supports behavior change and identity transformationWhy the holiday season is a perfect time to reconnect with play and creative explorationSimple, nostalgic creative ideas that help the brain settle and feel groundedKey Ideas from the EpisodeYou do not need talent to benefit from creativity; beginners gain the same cognitive advantagesThe brain responds to the creative process, not the quality of the final productHoliday crafts from childhood created sensory, emotional and learning experiences that supported brain developmentCreativity provides a self-generated way to shift emotional states and manage urgesCreative acts reengage curiosity, novelty and presence, which help the holidays feel richer and less overwhelmingSmall creative behaviors can be a meaningful substitute for less helpful coping habitsPractical Creative Ideas MentionedMake a paper snowflakeTry a salt dough ornamentDecorate a gingerbread house kitMake a single handmade holiday cardPaint pinecones with simple suppliesCreate a photo collage from the yearDo a puzzle or coloring pageTreat cooking as a creative actTry a new recipe or texture-based food projectRelated Think Thursday EpisodesThe Paradox of FreedomNovelty for Habit ChangeDefensive PessimismThe Neuroscience of Mental RestSilence Is GoldenBrain Time: Why the Mind Does Not Experience Minutes the Way the Clock Does ★ Support this podcast ★
Send us a textEver wondered why our culture swings so hard between cocktails, cannabis, and “California sober” trends? This episode of Girls Gone Gritty unpacks the real conversations people are having, but rarely out loud, about alcohol, THC, CBD, responsibility, and how much of it is tied to stress, identity, and shifting generational norms.Jen and Farley open up about post-holiday overwhelm, family emotional hangovers, and how alcohol intensifies everything, from anxiety to exhaustion. From there, they break down why drinking culture feels different today, why Gen Z is stepping away from booze, and how cannabis products have exploded into the mainstream. You'll hear honest takes on safety, moderation, the emotional reasons people “take the edge off,” and the surprising ways THC helped a family member battling cancer.The hosts don't shy away from the hard stuff either, like packaging that appeals to kids, hidden potencies, SCROMEDY (yes, that's real), and why both alcohol and cannabis require serious self-awareness.They wrap with reminders to stay responsible, stay hydrated, and stay informed because knowing how these substances affect your mood, sleep, energy, and habits can change everything.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:50) Post-holiday exhaustion, alcohol anxiety, and emotional hangovers(3:02) New holiday traditions and consumption awareness(4:59) This week's “Top Three” headlines(7:03) The rise of drinking culture and its impact(7:56) Gen Z swapping alcohol for cannabis(9:01) Cannabis stereotypes and early life experiences(10:14) Legalization, stigma, and shifting norms(12:10) Why adults use THC vs. alcohol(13:49) How low-dose THC beverages affect mood(15:10) Driving, safety, and the Uber reminder(16:01) CBD vs THC explained simply(17:17) Personal experiences with medical cannabis(18:39) Alcohol highs vs. THC highs(19:53) Potency, edibles, seltzers, and hidden risks(21:00) Keeping THC away from kids and teens(22:02) Trend shifts post-COVID(23:33) Economics, health, and generational shifts(24:47) Alcoholism, addiction, and SCROMEDY(26:07) Pros and cons of THC, CBD, and alcohol(33:00) Big alcohol vs. cannabis industry changes(34:04) Moderation, health benefits, and medical approvals(35:27) Gratitude for listeners + Got Grit award(37:35) Song of the week + hydration reminder(38:20) OutroFollow us: Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/ More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Kopfsalat - Der "Freunde fürs Leben" Podcast über Depressionen
In dieser Folge des Podcasts „Kopfsalat“ von Freunde fürs Leben e.V. spricht die Musikerin und Autorin Charlotte Brandi mit unserem Moderator Sven Haeusler über Geschlechterungleichheit in der Musikbranche. Sie erzählt, wie sehr fehlende Vorbilder prägen. Wer keine Menschen sieht, die so aussehen oder leben wie man selbst, könne sich auch schwerer vorstellen, diesen Weg zu gehen. In der Musikbranche wird das besonders spürbar, von der Produktion über Studioarbeit bis hin zur Frage, wer überhaupt als „talentiert“ gilt. Charlotte Brandi erzählt, wie sie ihr Album bewusst nur mit FLINTA*-Musiker:innen und Engineers aufgenommen hat – als Experiment, als Statement und um neue Arbeitsrealitäten auszuprobieren.

If your brain is telling you, “It's the holidays, I'll start in January,” this episode is here to challenge that script. Molly dives into why the belief that we need a perfect time to change our drinking is one of the most misleading and damaging patterns we fall into. In this episode, you'll discover why December is actually the ideal time to begin changing your relationship with alcohol—and how doing so can help you build real-life skills that stick.Drawing from neuroscience, behavior science, and lived experience, Molly shows you how to bypass the perfectionism trap and gain momentum before the new year even begins.What You'll LearnWhy “I'll start after the holidays” is a psychological trapThe science of temporal discounting and how it sabotages habit changeHow to work with your brain's neuroplasticity to make change easierWhy starting now creates more resilient, long-term resultsPractical tools to begin moderating your drinking todayFeatured ConceptsHabit change during high-stress seasonsReal-life application of the Behavior Map-Results CycleBuilding skills in real time vs. waiting for “perfect” conditionsEmbracing discomfort as part of sustainable behavior changeQuote to Remember“If you wait for life to calm down to make a change, you'll be waiting forever. Change happens when you decide it does—even in December.” – Molly WattsLow 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 ★

"We eat from a thousand different hungers—and most of them aren't about food." — Jane McGuinness In this episode of Uncorking a Story, I sit down with Jane McGuinness—registered clinical counselor, mother of three, and author of the memoir Always Hungry: How I Lost the Weight and Found Myself. Jane opens up about her journey from emotional eating and divorce to rediscovering herself through writing, hiking, and radical acceptance. We talk about the psychology behind food cravings, the privilege of thinness, and why healing is about more than just losing weight. If you've ever wondered what it takes to transform your life from the inside out, this conversation is for you. Key Takeaways: Emotional eating is rarely about hunger—it's often tied to stress, anxiety, and unresolved trauma. Healing requires owning your story; writing memoir can be a powerful tool for self-discovery. Thin privilege is real—Jane shares candid insights on how society treats people differently based on body size. Sustainable weight loss is about consistency, not quick fixes—think small habits over time. Life transitions can spark growth—Jane's divorce and career change led her to embrace freedom and creativity. Travel and movement are transformative—Jane's Camino de Santiago pilgrimage changed her perspective on life. Moderation beats restriction—finding balance with food and exercise is key to long-term health.

In this Think Thursday episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly explores how visual triggers—those subtle, often overlooked cues in your environment—powerfully influence your behavior. Whether it's a bottle on the counter, a glowing screen, or a browser tab, your brain is constantly scanning for shortcuts and responding to what it sees.Drawing on neuroscience and habit psychology, Molly explains why visual input is processed faster than any other sense and how it becomes tightly linked with repetitive behaviors.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves health without weight loss. Research shows that short high-intensity workouts boost cardiovascular health, and reduce body fat HIIT also increased HDL cholesterol levels, lowered blood pressure, and improved peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) in overweight teens Prediabetics also benefit from HIIT. Analysis shows it outperformed continuous aerobic training by improving insulin sensitivity, glucose processing, and creating more energy-producing mitochondria Moderation is key for safety. An expert recommends limiting high-intensity exercise to 75 minutes weekly and strength training to 40 to 60 minutes weekly to avoid diminishing returns and health risks Effective sessions include a three-minute warmup, six minutes of high-intensity cardio, and combining cardio with strength training twice weekly
Zohran Mamdani has won the 2025 New York City mayoral race, with a higher turnout of voters than New York has seen in decades. This despite the fact that New York's senators — Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand — did not back Mamdani, and House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries waited until the day before early voting began to endorse the Democratic nominee.Mamdani's divided party support reflects an intensifying argument over whether Democratic candidates must move closer to the political center - or further away - in order to win. Brooke speaks with Elliott Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, about what the numbers say around moderation and why it might not be the silver bullet Democratic strategists seemed to crave.Further reading:Moderation is not a silver bullet, by Elliott MorrisThe Strategist's Fallacy in American politics, by Elliott Morris On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
