In this powerful and deeply human episode, Kevin unpacks a message from one of his clients that started with a simple insight:

“I drink to escape what I don’t want to deal with.”

Sound familiar?

Whether it’s wine, food, Netflix, social scrolling, or even overworking, many of us have coping mechanisms we reach for when emotions feel too big to handle. And yet—what we’re really reaching for is relief.

But here’s the truth:

Avoidance brings short-term relief, but long-term pain.

(Emotionally, mentally, sometimes even physically.)

🧭 In This Episode:

• Why numbing becomes the default for so many of us
• What it means to stay with a feeling—and why that’s powerful
• How to spot the moment between urge and action
• Tiny, actionable steps to build emotional regulation over time

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t know why I keep doing this,” this one’s for you.

As always, please like, share, and subscribe.
