Stop Over-drinking and Start Living

Ep 366 The Kind Way Is They Way It Works


Listen Later

 

In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I explore why kindness, not willpower, is what actually creates lasting change in your relationship with alcohol.

So many women try to stop over-drinking by being harder on themselves — using pressure, rules, and self-criticism — only to find themselves stuck in the same cycle.

But inside the Dry January community, something different is happening. When women feel emotionally safe, supported, and free from judgment, honesty increases, shame softens, and real clarity begins to emerge.

We talk about:

  • Why being gentle with yourself is not the same as being passive
  • How nervous system safety allows awareness and choice
  • Why trying to “white-knuckle” drinking habits often backfires
  • How compassion creates more sustainable change than discipline
  • What it really means to change your relationship with alcohol in a kind, supportive way
  • If you’ve ever wondered why cutting back or taking a break from drinking feels so hard — even when you’re motivated — this episode will help you understand what might be missing: safety, support, and self-trust.

    This conversation is for women who are sober curious, want to drink less, or are exploring a healthier relationship with alcohol without shame, labels, or rigid rules.

    And if you want to deepen this work with me in a powerful, immersive way, there are a few remaining spots at The Magic House Retreat Center, my international retreat center for women ready to get alcohol out of the way and come back to themselves.
