It's Not About the Alcohol

EP290 Minisode: You need a vision for WHO you are becoming


Listen Later

In this episode, Colleen walks us through a coaching moment that captures what emotional sobriety really means: shifting from self-criticism and control into vision and alignment.

When one client arrived overwhelmed and focused on what her partner wasn't doing, the breakthrough came when she identified who she wanted to be — positive and powerful. From there, everything changed.

Colleen unpacks how to train the brain to serve your vision instead of your fear, why alignment between mind and body is the true foundation of change, and how to stop letting your thoughts drain your energy.

You'll learn what it means to "stop, drop, and feel," and how this simple practice brings you back to your power when you're spiraling in stress or self-doubt.

🔑 Key Takeaways

  • How to use coaching to shift perspective from blame to personal power

  • Why your emotions are litmus tests for your mindset

  • The difference between primal (fear) and powerful (freedom) states

  • Practices to regulate your nervous system and realign your energy

  • How clarity of vision makes your brain your ally, not your enemy

This episode is a reminder that transformation doesn't start with action — it starts with who you decide to be.
