Alcohol consumption in the United States is declining. Gallup reports that only 54% of Americans now drink — the lowest level recorded in decades — and nearly half of Americans say they are actively trying to drink less.On the surface, this sounds like clear progress.But in this episode, Molly explores an important question raised by Dr. Adi Jaffe in a recent article: Are we truly becoming more emotionally resilient… or are we simply swapping one escape route for another?As cannabis use rises alongside declining alcohol consumption, it's worth examining whether substitution equals transformation — or whether real change requires something deeper.This episode unpacks the cultural shift away from alcohol, the rise in cannabis use, and the critical distinction between behavioral change and emotional growth.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The latest statistics on declining alcohol consumption in the U.S.Why cannabis use is increasing as alcohol use declinesWhat research says about cannabis use and alcohol reductionThe difference between substitution and emotional resilienceWhy simply replacing alcohol doesn't necessarily change your relationship with discomfortHow psychological dependence operates beneath surface-level behavior changeThe core beliefs that often drive alcohol useA simple self-reflection exercise to assess your own coping patternsKey Statistics Discussed54% of Americans report drinking alcohol (Gallup 2025)Nearly half of Americans are trying to drink less65% of Gen Z plans to cut down or abstain from alcoholApproximately 178,000 alcohol-related deaths occur annually in the U.S.41% of young adults report cannabis use in the past year29% report past-month cannabis use10.8% report daily cannabis useAbout 3 in 10 cannabis users are at risk of Cannabis Use DisorderThe Core QuestionReducing alcohol is meaningful.But emotional resilience is something deeper.This episode challenges you to consider:If alcohol disappeared tomorrow, what would you reach for?Are you choosing relaxation — or needing escape?Have your behaviors changed… or have your beliefs changed?True transformation happens when you dismantle the belief that you need something outside of yourself to manage your internal state.Resources MentionedDr. Adi JaffeThe Abstinence Myth by Dr. Adi JaffeUnhooked by Dr. Adi JaffeSunnyside mindful drinking app (15-day free trial available)Monitoring the Future (University of Michigan)CDC Cannabis Use DataHarvard Health on cannabis vs. alcohol risksBrown University study on cannabis and alcohol consumptionLow 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 ★

Episode 238 - Blissful Unawareness - A Daily Break for Dads from the NoiseThis episode invites listeners to rethink their relationship with daily information overload by embracing brief, intentional moments of blissful unawareness. Dave reflects on childhood simplicity and proposes practical ways for busy dads to protect mental space, reduce stress, and model healthier boundaries for their families.A calmer start to the dayThe conversation suggests starting mornings with a pause before diving into screens, news, and tasks. A short, device-free ritual—like a quiet moment or a small walk—helps center attention, lowers anxiety, and sets a steadier tone for the hours ahead. This approach frames calm mornings as a foundation for presence with loved ones and clearer decision making.Being blissfully unaware as a daily practiceBeing briefly unaware of world events isn't ignorance but a protective habit. By lowering cognitive load, parents can devote energy to family, creativity, and self-care. The episode argues that this daily space supports focus on parenting and work tasks without being overwhelmed by a relentless information stream.Strategies to create mental spaceListeners are offered concrete ideas to cultivate daily calm:schedule short, device-free windows to let thoughts breathecurate news and social feeds to prevent constant scrollingdesign mornings and evenings around connection, rest, and purposeset boundaries around notifications during family timemodel unplugged presence for kids through balanced media useA mindset for familiesMental space is framed as a shared value that strengthens family dynamics. By protecting attention, parents foster calmer homes, better decisions, and deeper connections with children and partners. The key message is to treat mindful spacing as a core family principle, not a luxury.Key takeaway for listenersIn a hyper-connected era, carving out daily moments of blissful unawareness can restore calm, sharpen focus, and deepen family bonds. By choosing when to engage with news and screens, parents model resilient, present lives for their children.___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

In this special episode, USEA CEO Rob Burk reflects on the vision behind the podcast, the power of transparency and community, and the shared passion that connects riders across the country.

In addition, we talk to this year's Keynote speaker at the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention, Natalie Hummel, to hear more about her work in the space of coaching riders on how to be their best mentally and how it can have an outward effect on their performance in the saddle.
