Text Me!Have you ever tried to quit drinking and thought, “Why is this so hard? Shouldn't it be easier?” You're not alone. Quitting alcohol often feels harder than it should not because you're weak, but because alcohol changes your brain chemistry, your coping patterns, and the way you deal with stress.In episode 244 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I'm breaking down the real reasons quitting feels so challenging and what actually makes it easier. Whether you're sober curious, in your first 30 days without alcohol, or stuck in the stop-start cycle, this conversation will help you see that you don't need more willpower, you need better tools and support.What You'll Learn in this Episode:How alcohol impacts your brain and fuels alcohol-induced anxietyWhy drinking to cope with alcohol and stress makes quitting feel impossibleHow relying on alcohol speeds up alcohol and aging in your body and skin Why trying to stop drinking with willpower alone often fails The freedom that comes when you stop drinking every night and start building new habits How a sober coach can help you break the cycle and finally follow throughIf you've been telling yourself you should be able to do this alone, this episode is your reminder: you're not broken, you just need the right support.Listen now: Why Quitting Alcohol Feels Harder Than It Should (and Real Help to Finally Stop Drinking)PODCAST SPONSOR:This episode is sponsored by Soberlink, a trusted accountability tool for anyone navigating early recovery.

“After my baby was born, I felt like I'd been hit by a Mack truck.”

Wil  sits down with Emily Williams Knight, CEO of the Texas Restaurant Association (TRA), which represents 58,000 restaurants, 1.4M employees, and nearly $137B in annual sales. Emily explains how the TRA protects a pro-business regulatory environment so operators can focus on guests and teams, not red tape. She shares a pandemic origin story: brand-new in the role, she built a “war room,” forged bipartisan relationships, helped shape PPP/RRF fixes, and pushed for one of the earliest statewide re-opens, becoming a nightly “north star” for Texas restaurants.Today's headwinds: uncertainty across demand patterns, labor/immigration constraints disrupting the full “plant-it to plate-it” chain, protein inflation (beef unlikely to ease until ~2028 due to shrunken herds, import frictions, and disease risk), and looming seafood import tightening. Emily flags swipe fees (3–4%+), opaque delivery chargebacks/penalties, and rising insurance/rent/cleaning costs that small operators can't keep passing to guests. TRA's approach: advocate first by collaboration (then legislate if needed), and deliver practical operator wins—e.g., a $9/mo Teladoc program (including mental health) for employees/families, childcare policy via an Employers for Child Care task force (8 of 9 bills passed), and exploring lower-cost payments (e.g., stablecoin rails) to challenge card duopolies.Throughout, Emily underscores that independents are community infrastructure - first to show up in disasters, central to local identity - and urges owners to engage with their state associations for advocacy, education, and scaled benefits. Her north star: be courageous and pragmatic - simple solutions to complex problems - so small restaurants can survive the current squeeze and keep delivering hospitality.Key Takeaways TRA at scale: 58k restaurants, 1.4M employees, ~$137B sales—largest private-sector employer in Texas. Advocacy matters: TRA blocked well-intended but risky mandates (e.g., restaurant staff administering Narcan) by educating lawmakers. Bipartisan playbook: Results come from working both sides of the aisle and building trust before crises hit. Pandemic “war room”: Early reopen, nightly updates, and PPP/RRF fixes made TRA a lifeline for operators. Core problem = uncertainty: Demand patterns, costs, and supply reliability are too volatile for 4–6% margin businesses. Labor/immigration shock: Shortages ripple from farm to kitchen; near-term ask is work permits for long-time, law-abiding workers. Protein pressure: Beef relief unlikely until ~2028 due to herd rebuild cycles, import constraints, and disease risks; seafood supply faces stricter import rules. Cost traps: Swipe fees (often 3–4%+) and delivery chargebacks/penalties are eroding margins; TRA is pushing transparency and policy fixes. Practical benefits: TRA offers a $9/mo Teladoc (incl. mental health) for employees/families and is advancing childcare solutions to improve retention. Independents = community infrastructure: They fuel local identity and disaster response—consumer support and association engagement are vital.

Are you struggling with the belief that you might be a burden to your clients?  Here is a classic example of how limiting beliefs can keep you from taking action. A client is on your table, and you know that a single session won't cut it. You have a plan for six sessions to help them restore their shoulder and improve their sleep. But instead of confidently presenting this plan, you hesitate, fearing that you might pressure them or be seen as a burden. As a result, you only rebook them for one session, leaving both you and the client unfulfilled. Don't let the belief that you're a burden hold you back. Join Heather in this week's episode as she explores how this mindset can affect your sales and client results, and learn how to present your packages effectively, run enticing specials, and ultimately help more clients.   LINKS AND RESOURCES —

Losing weight is not just about dieting harder and working out more. Say what, now? You heard me correctly... If you want to lose weight, shed body fat, fit into smaller sizes, and achieve a leaner, more fit body, it's not just about dieting harder and working out more. True transformation requires you to go a level DEEPER. Staying surface level won't help you reach the body of your dreams or maintain it. See if this sounds familiar... You've probably lost weight before, only to gain it back. The reason why this can happen is because you are staying surface level instead of going deeper into yourself, and your weight loss, which results in TRUE behavior and belief changes. If you're listening to this podcast, it's because you want REAL HELP with weight loss. And let's be honest, going deeper is tough. Nobody wants to dig beneath the surface...not even me sometimes. But it's time to change that. Join us in this episode of Unf*ck Your Weight Loss and learn how to uncover what's really holding you back. _______________ The Society ⁠⁠⁠https://bonnielefrak.com/self-made-society/⁠⁠⁠ Book a call with Bonnie-    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/bonnielefrak/lets-talk-weight-loss-strategy?month=2024-02⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Bonnie in her FREE Group-  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/707942356603835⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Find out more on how to lose weight permanently- Website- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bonnielefrak.com⁠⁠

Listen along as we continue our series through the book of Hebrews. Notes//Quotes: Hebrews 4:14-16 - Mike Heb 4:14-16 1 Tim 3:16 “As I reflect on Jesus' temptations … I realize they centered on his reason for coming to earth, his “style” of working. Satan was, in effect, dangling before Jesus a speeded-up way of accomplishing his mission. He could win over the crowds by creating food on demand and then take control of the kingdoms of the world, all the while protecting himself from danger” - Philip Yancey AFTER CENTURIES of handling and mishandling, most religious words have become so shopworn nobody's much interested anymore. Not so with grace, for some reason. Mysteriously, even derivatives like gracious and graceful still have some of the bloom left.   Grace is something you can never get but can only be given. There's no way to earn it or deserve it or bring it about any more than you can deserve the taste of raspberries and cream or earn good looks or bring about your own birth.   A good sleep is grace and so are good dreams. Most tears are grace. The smell of rain is grace. Somebody loving you is grace. Loving somebody is grace. Have you ever tried to love somebody?   A crucial eccentricity of the Christian faith is the assertion that people are saved by grace. There's nothing you have to do. The grace of God means something like: "Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are, because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you." There's only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you'll reach out and take it.   Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too. Frederick Buechner I wrote a book on grace, and grace is a free gift, but to receive the gift you have to have your hands open. And a lot of people don't have their hands open, there's something they're grasping because there's a lot of things to grasp in a prosperous country.” – Philip Yancey "aid rendered to someone who is miserable or needy, especially someone who is either in debt or without claim to favorable treatment.” - Dictionary of Biblical Imagery "Mercy is kindness exercised towards the miserable, and includes pity, compassion, forbearance, and gentleness, which the Scriptures so abundantly ascribe to God.” Charles Hodge Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it. God's saving love in Christ, however, is marked by both radical truthfulness about who we are and yet also radical, unconditional commitment to us. The merciful commitment strengthens us to see the truth about ourselves and repent. The conviction and repentance moves us to cling to and rest in God's mercy and grace. - Tim Keller

If this post triggers you in any way, here are the International Suicide Prevention Hot Lines. Sometimes meeting someone is meant to be. I felt that way about my best friend. I felt that way about my husband. And I felt that way when I first exchanged emails with Dr. John Sommers-Flannagan. He's the real thing. A great guy. Easy-going. Smart. Supportive. Humble. And his book, Suicide Assessment and Treatment Planning: A Strength-Based Approach is a must read for mental health clinicians. He's a professor of psychology at the University of Montana and the author of many other books. I don't say "must read" that often. Even rarely. But it's a must read. And not just for clinicians. It could be meaningful for anyone who has a loved one who struggles with suicidal feelings or thoughts - and how to approach them compassionately. As I said last week, you might be that one person who someone risks talking to. Last week's episode focused on the necessity and importance and publicly recognizing the fact that many people have suicidal thoughts. Whether they're diagnosed with a mental illness or not, many people go through times when there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Or they can't see one in that moment – or that day – or that week. Those people need connection – they need support – they need acceptance. If they're in true crisis, then stronger measures may be needed - and I'd highly recommend calling in professionals at that point. But too many people don't reveal darker thoughts for fear of "what might happen" - even to mental health clinicians.

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.” In John 14:16, Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as our Helper, and in today's program, we look at what that means for us in the face of our anxieties. Put simply, believer, the Holy Spirit is WITH you, no matter what you are facing. Your fears may tell you you are alone or that no one understands, but those statements are lies. On the contrary, the Helper, the Paraclete in Greek, is “One called to come alongside” of you! You are NEVER alone. Turn to John 14 for today's episode of Rinse and Repeat. (RAR2022EP26)

In this interview with my wife talking about her ordeal of living life these last 15 years with chronic pain. I do apologize...when reviewing the recording, I noticed my microphone dropped in volume considerably. I would try to rerecord this, but it is so raw and real with her that I didn't want to try to reproduce her heart. So forgive the technical difficulty, and listen to her heart and testimony during this hard time of her life. Very good. Please share.
