It's Not About the Alcohol

EP196 The day I took off my wedding ring and the 3 resilience skills that helped me save myself


Listen Later

On December 6th, 2023, I made the scariest—and most transformative—decision of my life. I chose to believe in myself. Not in a "feel-good" kind of way, but in a way that demanded action before certainty and courage before confidence. This episode is a personal snapshot from that turning point—a moment when I faced fear, financial dependence, and self-doubt… and decided to move forward anyway.

Today, I'm walking you through the 3 emotional skills that built my resilience—not just for leaving my marriage, but for building a seven-figure business, creating a powerful community, and helping high-achieving women like you change their relationship with alcohol… and themselves.

In this episode, you'll learn:
  • 🔥 What it actually means to be emotionally resilient—and how it shows up in your everyday life

  • 🧠 Why you can't wait for belief before taking action (and what to do instead)

  • 💡 The real source of your burnout—and how to untangle it from productivity and perfectionism

  • 🧭 The subtle shift between "controlling your behavior" vs. "rewiring your mind"

  • 🛠 The 3 internal skills that help you bounce back faster, stronger, and more powerfully than ever

"Belief doesn't come first. Belief is the result of taking the action before you're ready."

If you're a high-achieving, coachable woman who's ready to manifest your next chapter—and you know alcohol is the thing you need to change first—schedule a discovery call with me or someone on my team. Just scroll down to the show notes and click the link. Let's talk about where you are, where you want to be, and what's really holding you back (hint: it's not the wine). —Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL
