It's Not About the Alcohol

EP209 Minisode: Controlling your energy flow


Listen Later

Today’s episode is all about emotional flow—how energy moves through your body and what to do when it gets stuck. Colleen explains how your thoughts can block the natural upward movement of desire, inspiration, and curiosity—reversing the flow and creating emotional heaviness, anxiety, and burnout.

You’ll learn why it’s not always necessary to unpack your childhood or analyze every emotion. Sometimes the simplest shift comes from asking: is this thought opening me up, or shutting me down?

Whether you’re stuck in your career, your relationship, or your relationship with alcohol—this episode will show you how to unclog your energy, reclaim your creativity, and speak your truth into the world.

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • Your brain is the gatekeeper of your energy—every belief either expands or contracts you.

  • Heaviness and anxiety are often the result of blocked emotional flow, not personal failure.

  • You don’t have to do a deep dive into your trauma to free yourself—you just have to notice the energetic state you’re in.

  • You can change your reality by changing what you believe and acting from a more open state.

  • "I create as I speak" isn't just a phrase—it’s a practice of embodiment and emotional sobriety.
