June 28, 2023Quit Drinking Using Lessons from Ted Lasso
One of my favorite shows recently is Ted Lasso. Ted Lasso is an American football coach who moves to England to manage a struggling soccer team. He faces many challenges and critics, but he never gives up on his positive attitude and his belief in himself and others. We can learn a lot from his example and apply some of his lessons to our own journey of changing our drinking (or making any life changes.)
Lessons from Ted Lasso:
Know your why
Meet a challenge head on, but with the willingness to grow
Practice hope and optimism
Have courage, and lots of it
Let ideas come from everywhere
Embrace change
Be authentic and imperfect
Allow second chances
Be a goldfish
Believe
I hope you enjoy this episode and find some inspiration from Ted Lasso’s lessons. Remember, quitting drinking is not easy, but it is possible with the right mindset, attitude, support, and tools. And as Ted Lasso would say, “Believe.”

May 31, 2023How to Stop Beating Yourself Up and Practice Self-Compassion when Changing Your Drinking
How do you get out of the shame spiral after you drink? How can you stop beating yourself up every time you drink? How can you learn to be more compassionate with yourself? I answer these questions and more in this episode of the podcast. Part of this podcast is from a course I teach called Mindful AF. One component of mindfulness is compassion. A lot of what I talk about is having self-compassion when you're changing your drinking. We cannot hate ourselves to recovery. We can't shame ourselves to recovery. It's only when we start caring for ourselves and have self-compassion when we drink that we can overcome this habit. It's more helpful to be compassionate to ourselves than to beat ourselves up.
This episode talks about:
The inner critic voice that beats us up
The purpose of the inner critic
How to stop beating yourself up
What compassion is
How to use self-compassion to change your drinking
The powerful components of self-compassion: kindness, connection, and mindfulness
