Welcome back to Journey to the Sunnyside! I’m your host, Mike Hardenbrook, and today we’re tackling a myth that a lot of us have believed for way too long—relying on willpower to cut back on drinking. We’ve been told that willpower is the key to drinking less, but my guest today is going to turn that idea on its head.

I’m excited to have Rachel Hart with us— coach, author, and host of the Take a Break podcast. Rachel’s helped thousands of people shift their relationship with alcohol without relying on willpower, and today she’s going to explain why willpower isn’t enough and what you can do instead.
