Stop Over-drinking and Start Living

Ep 320 Navigating Uncertainty Without Losing Yourself


Listen Later

When we don’t know what’s coming next, it’s easy to spiral into worst-case scenarios, overthink every decision, or try to control things that aren’t actually in our control. And —this is when over-drinking (or other numbing habits) can sneak in.

However, uncertainty itself isn’t the real problem. It’s how we react to it.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to break the cycle of fear, stop trying to micromanage the unknown, and actually feel okay—even when things feel unpredictable.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why uncertainty feels so uncomfortable (hint: your brain is just trying to protect you)
  • The ways we think we’re controlling uncertainty—but are actually making it worse
  • A mindset shift that helps you feel more grounded, no matter what’s happening around you
  • Practical tools to stop the fear spiral before it takes over
  • How cutting back on drinking makes it easier to handle uncertainty with clarity and confidence
  • If you’ve ever found yourself reaching for a glass of wine (or over-planning, over-analyzing, or over-anything) just to feel some sense of control, this episode is for you.
