So you maybe were told you were sensitive or shy as a child, which is a common thread among people who have the High Sensory Processing personality trait, it's not a disorder!

I talk you through the 23 questions that are in Dr. Elaine Aron's book The Highly Sensitive Person. As you answer them true or false, take note. If you answer true to 12 or more questions you're probably highly sensitive.

Elisha and I talk about how we feel as HSP's, why I believe alcohol use among HSP's is higher and how we both used it to calm down our sensitivities. We now know that this is something we can be proud of based on the research and books by Ph. D's such as Elaine Aron.

Click my website www.caramenz.com and scroll down towards bottom of my about page and you will find a different FREE HSP TEST you can take so you know if you have this personality trait that 20-30% of the population has and equally in males as it is in females.

Today my friend Jenn Baker and I have an amazing conversation about who we are becoming by changing one habit, our relationship with alcohol.

I met Jenn through our certification course to become an alcohol free coach last year and we bonded instantly over tears! My kinda gal. Someone who was willing to truly wear her heart on her sleeve - I knew we'd be instant friends! I can't wait for you to listen to our convo in hopes you don't feel alone in your struggles that we all so often have but don't talk about. Maybe today's convo will help you tune into and LISTEN to your gut feelings that you know something has to change in your day to day and give you the confidence to take action! We applaud you!

Today I chat about finding out what your next thing is. What excites you but maybe feels like anxiety? It's the same feeling! When we can lean into what brings us true joy, we can weave that throughout our day to day life! I share how you can start doing that!!

Using the EPIC approach in regards to changing your relationship with alcohol or any unwanted habit is a great framework to create consistency.

I can't wait for you to meet my friend Hallie Sawyer who also changed her relationship with alcohol later in life. Tune in and find out all the great things you can expect when you eliminate alcohol.

Also stay tuned for a LIVE Class via Zoom that we're hosting together the middle of May! You get to join us LIVE, ask questions and interact! We'll be diving in deeper into the benefits we both have acquired since eliminating alcohol. More importantly we want to share helpful tools you can use when you go out with friends and you don't want to drink alcohol plus other helpful tips. How to go to concerts, outings and ALL the things we USED to do with alcohol, but now want to do them without alcohol. This can cause you to be anxious and not want to go out. We want to empower you to say YES when you get invited out by using the tools & mindset shifts we will offer during our class.
