It's Not About the Alcohol

EP326 Minisode: Three Mindset Shifts That Changed My Relationship With Alcohol


Listen Later

In this episode, Colleen shares a coaching moment that started with a simple scheduling mistake and turned into a powerful lesson about belief systems.

When a client didn't get her breakthrough session as planned, she chose to see the delay differently: not as something happening to her, but something happening for her. That mindset opened the door to a deeper coaching conversation about leadership, standards, and the discomfort that comes with owning your power.

Colleen uses that moment to explore something bigger... The beliefs we carry shape how we interpret everything that happens in our lives.

Instead of assuming that delays, setbacks, or mistakes mean something has gone wrong, what if they're actually creating the exact conditions you need for the next step?

She shares three Colleen-isms that have fundamentally changed the way she moves through life:

  • I am always exactly where I'm supposed to be.

  • This is happening for me, not to me.

  • If I didn't get what I wanted, I got what I needed.

These beliefs don't eliminate pain or difficulty. But they do transform how you experience them — shifting you out of victimhood and back into agency.
