It's Not About the Alcohol

EP284 Minisode: Try my favorite tool: Full Body Reset


Listen Later

In this episode, Colleen revisits a recording in which she introduces a powerful tool that continues to help women interrupt autopilot and reconnect with their bodies — The Full Body Reset.

She originally shared it on a morning when she didn't use it — a reminder that growth isn't about perfection, it's about awareness, compassion, and reconnection. When we're tired, stressed, or overstimulated, the brain will always reach for what's easy. The Full Body Reset helps you pause, remember what's true, and let your body cast a vote for what you really need.

Through this story, she normalizes what it means to be human — to miss cues, to wish you'd chosen differently, and to repair with yourself instead of spiraling into shame. It's a simple, embodied practice that anchors emotional sobriety: building trust, honoring truth, and returning to yourself one pause at a time.

🔑 Key Takeaways

  • The absence of alcohol use disorder isn't perfect behavior — it's the absence of shame when you stumble.

  • Your body always knows what you need — you just have to pause long enough to listen.

  • A Full Body Reset interrupts autopilot and reestablishes self-trust.

  • Repairing with yourself builds the emotional maturity needed for long-term change.

  • True power is being "Team You" — even when you don't get it right.
