Ep 130: The Secret I’ve Been Waiting to Share (and Why It Might Change Your Summer)


Listen Later

Ever found yourself anxious about how you'll handle summer gatherings without overdoing it on alcohol? You're not alone. That mental game of "How will I manage vacation drinking?" or "What will people think if I skip the wine?" plagues many Catholic women who are trying to be more mindful about their relationship with alcohol.

In this honest conversation, I share why summer can feel particularly challenging for those working to drink less. Drawing from both personal experience and client stories, I explore how those seemingly reasonable plans to "just enjoy a few drinks" can quickly spiral into broken promises, guilt, and missed moments with loved ones. One client powerfully described her vacation experience: "I thought I was supposed to be relaxing, but instead I felt completely out of control."

The good news? Having thoughts about drinking doesn't mean you must act on them. Through building awareness and resilience, it's possible to notice those urges without spiraling or panicking. This discovery led me to create a new (SUPER affordable!) Summer Challenge for Catholic Women—a structured yet grace-filled approach to drinking less without sacrificing joy or connection. 

Summer truly can be both sacred and fun—and you absolutely can drink less while being more present more. Visit thecatholicsobrietycoach.com to secure your spot today - or click on the link below.
