It's Not About the Alcohol

EP272 Minisode: Whatever. I Don't Care.


Listen Later

In this episode, Colleen exposes one of the most dangerous lies we tell ourselves: "Whatever. I don't care." It's the phrase that sneaks in at the very moment you're about to follow through on what matters, pulling you back into autopilot. Habits feel easy not because they're better, but because they're familiar—and this thought is the detour sign that keeps you circling the same old roads.

She shows how to catch that phrase in real time, flip it, and reconnect with your real intentions.

It's not about one big breakthrough—it's about interrupting the trance again and again until your brain learns a new path forward.

🔑 Key Takeaways

  • "Not caring" is a mental detour that keeps you stuck in old patterns.

  • Habits feel easier only because they're familiar, not because they're better.

  • Interrupt the phrase with: "Actually, I do fucking care."

  • Each interruption is a small act of rewiring, building momentum and self-trust.
