It's Not About the Alcohol

EP 198 Minisode: How to manifest a healthy relationship with alcohol


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script on what it means to “manifest change” when it comes to your relationship with alcohol. Every habit you have was built through attention, repetition, and belief. You already know how to manifest. You’ve done it before. The question is: can you do it on purpose?

If you’ve ever told yourself “I know better and won't do that again", but you keep doing it anyway, this episode is a must-listen. You’ll learn how shame hijacks your perception, why logic won’t get you out of a drinking spiral, and the exact method Colleen uses (and teaches) to help high-achieving women build trust with themselves again—starting with the smallest, most overlooked wins.

Key Takeaways 

Your Brain is Always Manifesting The more you believe it, the more your brain proves it—even if it’s outdated.

Whispers Matter Thoughts like “I’ve had enough” or “I could skip it” are seeds of change. You don’t need perfection—just awareness.

Focus Fuels Change What you pay attention to grows. Focus on control, not brokenness, and your brain will follow.

Behavior Builds Belief You don’t have to believe in change yet—just act. Repeated small shifts create confidence over time.

Use Your Memory Replay your wins and near-wins. Remembering them helps your brain repeat them.

Let’s STOP trying to figure it out and START feeling our way through.
