In today's episode, we explore a powerful lightbulb moment from inside the Next Chapter program—one that's helping women actually enjoy the mindful drinking experiment and finally feel real momentum.
This is for you if you've meant to try mindful drinking but skipped it, overdid it, or didn't enjoy the process. That's not a failure—it's a sign you were missing one critical piece: community support.
The breakthrough? Practicing moderation in real time, with real people. Learning how to feel a buzz without slipping into old habits. Releasing perfectionism. And realizing this is about connection, not control.
Key Takeaways:
✨ You can't rewire a drinking habit by yourself Habits form in context—and need to be unlearned in context too.
✨ Mindful drinking is about presence, not perfection When the goal is connection, the whole thing becomes lighter and more doable.
✨ There is a therapeutic dose of alcohol—but you have to feel it Alcohol is biphasic: small amounts relax and uplift, but more than that backfires. Finding your line is everything.
✨ You're not failing—you're under-supported If you've tried and didn't follow through, it's not a personal flaw. You just needed more scaffolding.
🎯 Resources & Links
