In this insightful episode, Molly sits down once again with Dr. Brooke Scheller, clinical nutritionist and founder of Functional Sobriety, to discuss one of the most buzzed-about topics in the health and wellness space: GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy). Originally developed for treating Type 2 diabetes and now widely prescribed for weight loss, these drugs are increasingly being talked about for their potential to reduce alcohol cravings.Together, Molly and Dr. Scheller unpack the growing curiosity (and concern) surrounding the off-label use of GLP-1s by those trying to moderate or change their drinking habits. They dive deep into both the science and the speculation—discussing small but intriguing studies, anecdotal feedback from clients and community members, and what it really means to find a “magic pill” for reducing desire.But this episode doesn't stop at surface-level discussion. They explore the bigger picture: sustainable behavior change, the role of nutrition in alcohol use, and whether it's possible to replicate the effects of GLP-1s with food, lifestyle, and mindset shifts alone.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What GLP-1 medications are and how they workWhy they might reduce alcohol cravings—and what the science says so farWho might benefit most from GLP-1s—and who should be cautiousCommon side effects and risks associated with these drugsNatural strategies to support craving reduction and metabolic healthWhy addressing core beliefs about alcohol is critical to long-term changeLinks & Resources Mentioned:Dr. Brooke Scheller's program: Functional SobrietyDr. Scheller's book: How to Eat to Change How You DrinkConnect with Molly: Website: www.mollywatts.com Instagram: @alcoholminimalist Join the Private Facebook Community: “Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Drinking Habits”Want to Change Your Drinking?

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 ★

This week we're discussing... (sinister music plays) Horror, and whether we can sensibly describe some of the early modern and medieval drama as Horror? How far can we push a modern genre onto an older form. Joining me in this discussion is Dr Rebekah King, who graduated from Cambridge with a PhD in English looking at how magicians were depicted on the early modern stage. As well as being a researcher, she is an award-winning writer whose recent play ‘Moderation' followed the lives of social media moderators forced to see the worst things on the internet all day for a living. It transferred from an extended run at the Edinburgh Fringe to the Greenwich Theatre's ‘pick of the Fringe season' in October 2023. Dr King has also recently collaborated with composer George Parris on an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's ‘The Shadow' which premiered at the Royal Academy of Music in January 2024.

Welcome back to Think Thursday, where we explore the intersection of neuroscience, behavior change, and mindset, all in service of your beautifully brilliant human brain. In today's episode, we're diving into brand-new research from UCLA that uncovers how chronic stress physically alters the brain—and why that matters deeply for your habits, memory, and sense of self.You'll learn:Why your brain doesn't record life as one continuous stream, but as segmented “chapters”The critical role of a tiny brainstem region called the locus coeruleus in organizing your memoriesHow chronic stress dulls your brain's ability to mark important transitions—leading to foggy recall, disorientation, and burnoutWhy this memory blurring reinforces old, unhelpful habits (and what to do instead)Actionable strategies to reset your brain and support better event segmentation, focus, and resilienceThis isn't just neuroscience—it's deeply relevant to anyone trying to make meaningful change, especially around alcohol. If stress is hijacking your ability to grow and evolve, this episode will help you see why—and what's in your power to shift.Resources Mentioned:Recent UCLA study on stress and the locus coeruleus (via Neuroscience News)Monday's main podcast episode on chronic stress and emotional burnoutThink Thursday: How Stress Changes the BrainThink Thursday: Where Burnout LivesAction Steps You Can Take Today:Support event segmentation: Create natural breaks in your day—change environments, move your body, shift tasks.Reduce background stress: Focus on consistent, gentle actions that help your nervous system downregulate.Practice attention shifts: Mindfully mark transitions between tasks and environments.Embrace restorative structure: Build routines that signal safety and meaning to your brain.A Final Thought: You're not broken.

Die deutsche Entwicklungshilfe der vergangenen Jahrzehnte ist gescheitert, weil die Erfolge für Normalbetrachter schwer zu erkennen sind - sagt Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer im "Klima-Labor" von ntv. Doch für die frühere CDU-Chefin und Verteidigungsministerin steht fest: Deutschland kann sich nicht zurückziehen, sondern muss seine politischen und wirtschaftlichen Interessen im Ausland offensiv vertreten und Entwicklungspolitik strategisch neu ausrichten. Warum? Nach monatelanger Arbeit an der Spitze einer parteiübergreifenden Kommission warnt sie vor den Folgen fragiler Staaten im globalen Süden - und fordert, Migration, Rohstoffsicherung und Klimapolitik gemeinsam zu denken.

Send us a textIn 2025, the moderation movement has evolved from a niche wellness trend into a defining force reshaping the entire drinks industry, embraced by global spirits suppliers like Diageo. As consumers increasingly prioritize quality over quantity and seek meaningful experiences in emerging "fourth spaces" beyond home, work, and traditional social venues, luxury spirits brands are discovering that moderation doesn't mean diminished demand—it means elevated expectations.In this episode, Claire Warner, the Head of Advocacy at Diageo, explores how one of the world's largest spirits companies is navigating this paradigm shift. We'll examine how the moderation trend is redefining luxury consumption, uncover the role of fourth spaces in creating new occasions for premium spirits, and discuss the strategic implications for brands looking to thrive in an era where mindful drinking meets sophisticated taste. Claire shares Diageo's insights on how moderation is becoming the new luxury, and what this means for the future of the spirits industry.Featured Guests:Claire Warner, Head of Advocacy, DiageoMentioned in the Episode:DiageoSeedlipIWSRWant to stay in the know about new episodes from the podcast?

Hasskommentare, Aufrufe zur Gewalt oder rassistische Äußerungen – täglich werden Milliarden Inhalte in sozialen Medien veröffentlicht, darunter auch problematische Äußerungen. Doch wie werden diese Inhalte erkannt und wie moderiert? Warum bleiben hasserfüllte Postings in vielen Fällen online, während scheinbar harmlose Postings gelöscht werden? Wer entscheidet darüber? Wie funktioniert die Moderation der Inhalte genau? Und welche Rolle spielt Künstliche Intelligenz dabei? Gemeinsam mit den Forscher:innen Anna Ricarda Luther (Institut für Informationsmanagement Bremen, Universität Bremen), David Hartmann (Weizenbaum-Institut & TU Berlin) und Prof. Dr. Hendrik Heuer (CAIS, Forschungsprogramm "Design vertrauenswürdiger Künstlicher Intelligenz") spricht Host Dr. Matthias Begenat über die Moderation der Inhalte auf Social-Media-Plattformen. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf den sozialen Folgen. Hassrede bleibt nicht nur im digitalen Raum, sondern beeinflusst die Lebensrealität von Aktivist:innen, Lokalpolitiker:innen, Journalist:innen und engagierten Nutzer:innen. Wer regelmäßig angegriffen wird, zieht sich häufig zurück – mit direkten Auswirkungen auf politische Teilhabe und Meinungsvielfalt. Trotz der Herausforderungen gibt es Entwicklungen, die Anlass zur Hoffnung geben. Die Forscher:innen sprechen über neue gesetzliche Regulierungen wie den Digital Services Act, fordern mehr Transparenz und Kontrolle sowie besseren Zugang zu Plattformdaten. Außerdem diskutieren sie zivilgesellschaftliche Initiativen, die sich für sichere digitale Räume starkmachen: Wie kann Moderation besser, fairer und wirksamer werden? Welche Verantwortung tragen Plattformen – und welche Rechte sollten Nutzer:innen haben? Disclaimer: In dieser Folge wird über hasserfüllte Sprache, beleidigende Begriffe und diskriminierende Konzepte gesprochen – u.a. zum Genozid in Myanmar und Tigray und über rassistische Äußerungen. Aus Transparenzgründen haben wir uns entschieden, diese Begriffe im Original wiederzugeben.

In this episode, Molly dives deep into a topic that's both emotionally resonant and neurologically relevant: what's really going on when we feel like we “just don't care anymore” about our drinking habits or goals. This isn't about laziness or lack of willpower—it's often a sign of emotional burnout, a condition that physically alters our brain and chips away at our motivation and executive function.Molly explores how summer routines, vacations, and social gatherings can disrupt our usual anchors and lead to identity drift, making it harder to stay committed to alcohol-related goals. She breaks down the neuroscience of burnout, clarifies common misconceptions about decision fatigue, and introduces default reward thinking as a key player in why we revert to old habits.Key Topics Discussed:The true meaning behind the phrase “I just don't care anymore”The neuroscience of emotional burnout and its effect on decision-makingWhat recent studies really say about decision fatigueWhy summer can be a sneaky trigger for identity driftHow to reconnect with your identity as an alcohol minimalistFive Strategies to Reignite Motivation and Realign with Your Goals:Track Your Patterns – Pay attention to emotional and behavioral cues that precede drinking.Tweak Your Environment – Anticipate high-risk moments and set up better decision conditions.Create Identity Anchors – Align your choices with the kind of person you want to become.Practice Mindful Decision-Making – Make key decisions in advance and reinforce them.Take Micro Breaks – Restore your emotional energy to avoid burnout-induced apathy.Molly's Takeaway:Feeling like you don't care anymore doesn't mean you're broken. It means your brain is overloaded and you need to reconnect with your intrinsic identity. Motivation doesn't come from white-knuckling your way through—it comes from alignment, awareness, and intentional identity shifts.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.

Mindfulness Training for Smoking Cessation: Moderation of the Relationship Between Craving and Cigarette UseIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and colleagues discuss a randomized clinical trial evaluating mindfulness training (MT) as a smoking cessation intervention. The study demonstrates how mindfulness decouples the link between craving and cigarette use by disrupting the addictive loop reinforced by craving. Results showed that increased mindfulness practice—both formal and informal—significantly reduced cigarette consumption and moderated the relationship between craving and smoking behavior. By teaching participants to observe and accept cravings rather than suppress them, MT offers a powerful, evidence-based approach to addiction treatment.Full Reference:Elwafi, H.

Episode Summary: This week on Think Thursday, we're taking a step back in time to revisit the very first episode that kicked off this science-forward, mindset-focused mini-series from the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast.As Molly is out of town this week, she shares one of her favorite episodes—the inaugural Think Thursday segment. It's a powerful reminder of why this series exists: to explore the beautiful, brilliant human brain and its incredible capacity for change.In this encore presentation, Molly revisits the groundbreaking science of neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to rewire itself in response to thought, behavior, and experience. You'll hear how this scientific truth intersects with the core mission of Alcohol Minimalist—to help people build a peaceful relationship with alcohol not through restriction, but through understanding.You'll learn how your mindset isn't just a fluffy self-help idea—it literally shapes the structure of your brain. And when it comes to changing a drinking habit that feels automatic, this knowledge is transformational.Key Highlights:How our brains form habits like nightly drinking—and how they can unlearn themThe difference between a fixed vs. growth mindset, and why it matters for habit changeHow new thoughts and beliefs strengthen new neural pathwaysWhat synaptic pruning is, and why it's great news for anyone trying to change a long-held habitWhy your brain isn't broken—it's doing exactly what it's evolved to doWhy Revisit This Episode? Because the foundation of habit change starts with understanding, and this episode encapsulates that beautifully. Whether you're new to the Alcohol Minimalist journey or deep into your transformation, this conversation offers timeless wisdom rooted in science and compassion.Molly's Message This Week: "Listening to this again reminded me of how excited I was to start Think Thursday—and how much I still love bringing neuroscience and mindset to the conversation around alcohol. If you've got ideas for future Thursday topics, I'd love to hear them!"Email Molly: molly@mollywatts.comWant to Dive Deeper?

In this episode, we speak with Luca Paolini, Chief Strategist at Pictet Asset Management, about the firm's 2025 Secular Outlook and the unfolding shift in global markets. Paolini argues that the era of U.S. exceptionalism is fading—and investors may be mispricing what comes next. We discuss why the “Great Convergence” could redefine asset allocation, what it means for U.S. equities and the dollar, and why now might be the time to lean into bonds and income-generating assets.Paolini also shares his views on inflation, tariffs, AI, private markets, and the challenges of navigating a low-return, high-risk world. Whether you're a global macro watcher or a long-term investor thinking about regime shifts, this conversation offers a roadmap for the next five years.Topics covered include:Why the U.S. may no longer deserve its valuation premiumHow debt and protectionism threaten global growthWhy the next five years could see converging returns across regions and assetsThe investment case for bonds, credit, and emerging market debtAI's impact on productivity and equity concentrationThe future role of gold, crypto, and private assets in portfolios

Die deutschen Netzbetreiber jubeln: Die Bundesregierung kündigt wie gewünscht den Bau vieler neuer Gaskraftwerke an - als Feuerwehr des Stromsystems. Klaus Mindrup warnt. "Das Problem in Dunkelflauten ist vor allem Wärme", sagt der Energieexperte im "Klima-Labor" von ntv. Dafür schaffen Gaskraftwerke "auf der grünen Wiese" keine Abhilfe: Dort gibt es keinen Wärmeanschluss. Auch den "zentralistischen" Netzausbau hält Mindrup für naiv. Sein Argument: Allein der deutsche Solarzubau übersteigt den Netzbau um ein Vielfaches - jedes Jahr. "Die Erneuerbaren funktionieren anders als das bisherige System. Das muss man akzeptieren", sagt er. Was wäre besser? Mindrup empfiehlt, das deutsche "Heiligtum" aufzugeben und nach Kalifornien zu schauen. Die Zukunft sind Inselnetze, lokale Preissignale, Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung und die "Alleskönner des Stromsystems", Batterien.Gast? Klaus Mindrup. Er saß von 2013 bis 2021 für die SPD im Bundestag.

Summer is the season of sunshine, s'mores, and… stomach-stretching hot dog contests? In this episode of the Real World Nutrition podcast, Shelley breaks down what moderation actually looks like when it comes to enjoying summer treats without succumbing to guilt or overindulging.

Shelley shares how these fun foods can fit into your life (yes, even with health goals), how to shift the all-or-nothing mindset, and what “real world” moderation truly means. This episode is full of perspective, common sense, and a touch of humor. So if you've ever felt conflicted about that extra scoop or grilled brat, tune in—you'll come away with practical tools to enjoy your summer meals and treats with confidence.   Schedule a complimentary 30-minute introductory call today to discover how I can assist you in achieving your health and wellness objectives.

In this special Independence Day edition of Think Thursday, we're diving into a surprising truth about freedom. While freedom is often associated with having more choices, the neuroscience tells us that too many options can actually hinder our ability to make meaningful progress. In this episode, Molly explores why excessive freedom can lead to decision fatigue, anxiety, and overwhelm—and how structure can actually be the key to creating real freedom in your life.What You'll Learn:The role of the prefrontal cortex in decision-making and how it gets depletedWhy more options can lead to less satisfaction and more mental clutterHow structure, routines, and boundaries support long-term goals and reduce overwhelmThe brain-based benefits of “deciding once” instead of making repeated choices under stressWhy intentional limits can feel more freeing than unrestricted autonomyKey Insight: True freedom doesn't come from unlimited options. It comes from clarity, self-trust, and reducing the mental noise that keeps us stuck in overthinking. When you build thoughtful boundaries, you support your brain and open up space for purposeful action.Try This: Take a moment to reflect:Where in your life are too many choices creating stress or inaction?What's one area where you could reduce decisions by adding structure?Resources Mentioned:Learn more about the Doable Drink Plan and how it supports structured, sustainable behavior change at mollywatts.com/drink-lessJoin the Alcohol Minimalist Community on FacebookSubscribe and share this episode with someone who might be feeling stuck in indecisionFinal Note: Structure doesn't limit freedom—it enables it.

Summer can feel like one long permission slip to indulge—looser routines, longer days, more social events, and vacation vibes that whisper “just this once.” In this episode, Molly unpacks why summer can be a particularly slippery slope for anyone working to change their drinking habits—and what you can do to stay mindful without sacrificing fun.Drawing from her own experience and behavioral science, Molly explores how deeply context-based cues shape our drinking habits and why “vacation mode” doesn't have to mean mindless drinking. You'll learn how to navigate barbecues, weddings, family reunions, and lazy summer nights with clarity and confidence.In this episode, you'll discover:Why summer rhythms can reignite old habit loopsThe difference between vacation mode and conscious modeHow context—not just craving—drives drinking desireWhy a “Doable Drink Plan” works (and how to create one that actually fits your life)The hidden cost of unplanned drinking days—even when you're doing alcohol-free days elsewhereMolly's message is clear: Summer isn't a break from your values. It's your opportunity to practice them in real life. You don't need to stop drinking entirely—you just need to stop drinking mindlessly.Mentioned in this episode:Join More Dry July inside the Alcohol Minimalist Facebook groupWeekly group coaching with Molly (free all July)Get started with the Sunnyside App (15-day free trial)Learn about Molly's coaching programs at www.mollywatts.comThis week's challenge: Create your Doable Drink Plan—one that meets you exactly where you are and feels 80–90% doable.

The Bible tells us to let our moderation be known unto all men. What exactly does that mean? In a time of excessive appetites for activities like youth sports, careers, or hobbies, it is vitally important we understand what moderation is. In the same way the tires on a car need to be balanced to …

Moderation is exhausting. Let’s talk about what’s possible when you stop playing the game. In this listener-favorite list-style episode, we share the 10 best things about never having to moderate alcohol again, and trust us, it’s more freeing than you think. From the relentless mental gymnastics (“Should I? Shouldn’t I?”) to the emotional fallout of breaking yet another promise to yourself, moderation often becomes more of a burden than a solution. So what happens when you stop trying to control your drinking and start living in true freedom? Spoiler alert: more headspace, less shame, deeper joy, better boundaries, and a whole lot more time for Jesus (and wildflowers ). What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why moderation takes more time, energy, and mental space than we realize The sneaky ways alcohol was stealing our joy—even in “small” amounts How living alcohol-free helps us show up more fully as moms, wives, and women of faith What shifts when you no longer have to plan, justify, or recover from drinking The role of curiosity, compassion, and truth in breaking the cycle How ditching moderation leads to deeper peace, clearer boundaries, and surprising laughter

Episode Summary: In this Think Thursday episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores why change often feels harder than it should—and what's really going on beneath the surface. It's not that you're incapable of change. More likely, you're stuck in what she calls a belief echo: a practiced, well-worn thought that has become so automatic it feels like your identity.These belief echoes, like “I always give up” or “I'm not someone who finishes things,” aren't facts. They're just thoughts your brain has repeated—and protected—over time. This episode unpacks the neuroscience behind that, especially the role of confirmation bias: your brain's tendency to find evidence for what you already believe and filter out anything that contradicts it.Molly offers a grounded, science-backed roadmap to help you identify, challenge, and rewire belief echoes, so you can create change from a place of possibility—not from your past.In This Episode:What belief echoes are and how they quietly shape your behaviorWhy your brain resists change by clinging to familiar thought loopsHow confirmation bias reinforces your old identityThe paradox of belief: you must stop believing one thing before you have proof of the new thingA practical process for replacing limiting beliefs with intentional onesKey Quote:“Change isn't hard because you're broken. It's hard because you're believing the stories from your past more than your possibility for the future.”Share This Episode:If this message spoke to you, consider sharing it with someone who feels stuck. You're not stuck. You're just rehearsing an old belief. Let's start rehearsing something new. ★ Support this podcast ★

Today we have Natalie. She is 55 years old from Palmdale, CA and took her last drink on June 4th, 2023.   This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Café RE – THE social app for sober people   [02:28] Thoughts from Paul:   This week's intro is about acceptance. We may wish we were a little bit taller, we may wish we were a baller, and we may wish that alcohol wasn't marketed as being good for us when it's a class one carcinogen. We may also wish that we could drink normally, but many of us cannot.   The thing about acceptance is that it is not about giving up, it's about waking up to the fact that that's just the way it is. When we finally stop wishing against reality and stop bleeding energy into a fantasy world of how things should be then we can start working with what actually is.   Acceptance is not about admitting defeat or giving up, it is acknowledging the truth which doesn't care about your feelings, but it will set you free.   When you accept that alcohol isn't your friend and that you can't drink normally, that's not rock bottom, that's solid ground and something real to stand on. Life isn't waiting for you to figure out how to drink responsibly. It's waiting for you to square your shoulders and start accepting that you're exactly where you are right now.   [07:36] Paul introduces Natalie:   Natalie is 55 years old and lives in Palmdale, CA. She says her most important job is being a mom to her autistic 15-year-old son. She enjoys spending time and going on adventures with him. Recently she has started volunteer work at a food bank and being of service in AA.   Natalie didn't enjoy alcohol when she first tried it and says that she was mostly a social drinker for many years. In her mid-30's, she sought help with her sleep issues. She was prescribed Ambien and really liked the idea that she could take something and check out quickly. Over time it progressed to where she was drinking and taking the drug. Natalie began to rely on Ambien more and more as she travelled frequently for work.   Life got very stressful for Natalie after her son turned two and they realized he didn't have speech. That began a year of doctors, assessments and therapy and her reliance increased. Natalie would doctor shop to try and get more of the drug and resorted to her ordering it online and getting mass quantities in order to feed her habit.   Natalie started attending NA and after she had about 60 days, she received the diagnosis that her son was autistic.   When the COVID lockdown happened, she realized that she would have a hard time getting Ambien and she says that she changed from being an addict to an alcoholic. Natalie quickly became a daily drinker, often starting in the mornings. After her son was able to return to school, Natalie began a routine of dropping him off and then getting and drinking two bottles of wine before passing out until it was time to pick him up.   Moderation was something Natalie struggled with. Her husband we getting increasingly upset with her and she would make attempts for a few days to cut back. Her husband, who is a normal drinker, ended up quitting to try and help her make the decision to quit as well.   After a rock bottom trip in Las Vegas, Natalie decided it was time to quit. She found an AA meeting that she could attend right after dropping her son off at school. Natalie started attending daily and got a sponsor. She feels her relationships with family and friends has improved and even just day to day interactions with strangers are better.   Natalie says “when you leave the rooms of AA, there are people that you will never meet and that you do not know that will be better off for you having been in a meeting that morning. That their day and their life is actually better because you took care of yourself in that way.”       Recovery Elevator Rule 22. Let's lighten up and not take ourselves too seriously.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly Watts challenges the deeply ingrained belief that we must “start over” any time we slip up in our habit change journey—especially when it comes to drinking. Drawing from neuroscience, behavior psychology, and the Alcohol Minimalist framework, Molly explains why this mindset is not only emotionally unhelpful but also neurologically inaccurate.Listeners will learn how to reframe off-plan moments not as failures, but as meaningful data points that contribute to long-term growth and brain change. Whether it's drinking, eating, spending, or any behavior you're trying to shift, this episode offers an empowering new narrative: you are not behind, you are evolving.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the idea of “starting over” is a product of traditional recovery models like Alcoholics AnonymousHow the AA concept of relapse and abstinence has shaped our cultural view of success and failureWhy your brain doesn't erase progress, but rather integrates and learns from each experienceHow to shift away from shame and into self-compassion without compromising growthThe role of automaticity in habit formation, according to Dr. Wendy WoodHow the brain builds resilience through “returning,” not perfectionA 3-step process to reframe setbacks and keep moving forwardKey Concepts & Tools:The Iterative Mindset – Growth is not linear; it's a spiral of adjustment and awarenessPause the Narrative – Catch the story you're telling yourself about failureName the Learning – Reflect on the experience with curiosity, not blameMake a Micro-Move – Realign in the moment with one small actionNeuroplasticity – Your brain is always adapting; no step is wastedSelf-Compassion Science – Dr. Kristin Neff's research shows kind self-talk leads to more consistent behavior changeReferenced Episode:Think Thursday: The Iterative Mindset Takeaway Quote:“Let's drop the idea of Day One. You are not behind. You are learning. You are aligning. You are leading your brain—one choice at a time.” ★ Support this podcast ★

Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly dives into one of the most challenging but common scenarios: staying committed to your goals when everyone else around you is celebrating with alcohol. As summer ramps up—bringing with it weddings, barbecues, vacations, and concerts—the social pressure to drink can feel stronger than ever.Molly explores the neuroscience behind our desire to fit in, how FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) hijacks our behavior, and why choosing intentionality over impulsivity can feel so hard—but is absolutely doable. She shares mindset tools, practical planning strategies, and science-backed techniques to help you enjoy life fully without sacrificing your peace or self-trust.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why our brains are wired for social belonging—and how that impacts drinking decisionsWhat Solomon Asch's conformity studies reveal about peer pressureHow FOMO combines scarcity and shame (and how to spot it)Ways to shift your thinking from “missing out” to “building something better”Four brain-based tools you can use to feel more confident at social eventsThe power of novelty in rewiring the brain's reward systemHow to ground yourself in the moment and align with your long-term goalsTools & Concepts Discussed:Play the Movie to the End – visualizing the real outcomes of drinking off-planIf–Then Planning – a simple framework to prepare for triggers ahead of timeDistanced Self-Talk – how using your name can help regulate your emotionsGrounding Techniques – practices to stay present and calm in the momentThe Behavior Map – Alcohol Minimalist's foundational tool for changeNovelty as a Catalyst – why small, intentional changes can shift how you feelIdentity-Based Decisions – aligning your choices with who you are becomingReferenced Think Thursday Episode:“The Brain Loves Novelty—Use It to Reinvent Summer” — a short companion episode on how newness boosts engagement, motivation, and brain health.Mentioned Resources:Drink Less Success: More Dry July – Molly's 31-day email program + live coaching Takeaway Quote:“Peace isn't about perfect behavior. It's about aligned behavior. It's about becoming someone who desires alcohol less—even when the world around you doesn't.”If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone you love. And remember: peace is the goal—not perfection.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 ★
