Do you have confidence and discipline in most areas of your life, and feel befuddled as to why your drinking feels so hard to control?

 

If your drinking feels out of alignment with your values, your goals, or your sense of self, this episode will give you a clear understanding as to what’s really going on, and also five powerful, science-based strategies that will help you stop yourself from over-drinking—without relying on willpower, restriction, or shaming yourself into submission. 

Whether you're trying to moderate, avoid shame spirals, or feel more in control after a stressful day, these tools will help you reset your nervous system, reconnect with your values, and get your brain off autopilot so you can build new habits that align with who you really are.

🔑 You’ll Learn:

  • Why your brain craves alcohol when you’re stressed (and how to rewire that urge)

  • How “Delay, Don’t Deny” instantly puts you back in control

  • Why emotional goal setting works better than setting limits on your consumption

  • How to rehearse success using mental imagery

  • What it means to take an “upstream” perspective—and why trying to stop yourself from overdrinking at the end of the day is about as useless as trying to stop the last domino from falling

  • How checking in with your tomorrow self can interrupt the “f-it” cycle

Overdrinking is not about your relationship with alcohol. It’s about your relationship with yourself—and these strategies help you rebuild self-trust, one decision at a time.
