I see you hard-working mom. Doing everything for everyone all day.

You wish you could do something for yourself - go to yoga class or run around the park like you used to or just read a book for like 30 minutes.  But who will let you do that?  You feel like you have to scrape and justify your needs so that you can take a few breaths to try and fulfill them because no one is coming to do it for you.  

It only makes sense that you look forward to a drink at the end of the day!

And yet, if you've been looking forward to a drink a the end of the day for awhile now, and you're beginning to notice negative side effects, and this is something that you'd like to change - please know that this is something that is entirely possible.

You’re a wonderful mom.  A loving mom, a fucking great mom!! 

And if you’re excited about being a more present mom, drinking less can help you achieve that.

Hi Mindful Drinker!

I made this podcast to help you if you are experiencing low vibrational feelings this season. Winter is MEANT for introspection, hibernation, retreating - not just parties and martinis ; ). So, if you're feeling less than jolly, remember that this is NATURAL! It is how nature moves, and without the darkness, there can be no light.

In January I am offering SOMETHING GREATER . It is a 21 day supported private community where you will deconstruct obsessive thinking about alcohol and use that focus and energy instead to create highly successful habits that you can use to further enhance any area of your life!

Today on the Solstice I am offering 25% off. Use the coupon code GREATNESS at check out.

Love,

Jess

If you resonate with today’s episode I have a special invite for you - I’m offering a two day workshop experience called Emotional Un-Drinking on December 14th and 15th at 1:30 pm UK time. You do not have to attend live, you will get lifetime access when you sign up.  

We will be working with the spiritual meanings and messaging of your emotions, specifically the emotions which typically trigger you to feel like drinking.  And we will be doing somatic and hypnotic exercises to help liberate that energy from your body.

Because when you learn that you don’t have to fear anything that is your own experience you truly feel like there is no reason to hide, there is nothing to escape from, you are at home with yourself and you can find peace, love, and acceptance right where you are.  

Join Emotional Un-Drinking

Love,

Jess

A few lessons learned from this Thanksgiving at 26 years old.

1.Not having a strong support system outside of my ride or die friends who were also on the party train, compelled me to believe that I was emotionally alone much of the time.  This feeling of loneliness, even when you are surrounded by people, is a driving force to go to bars, go get drunk because that is how one gets immediate company and a false sense of community.

2.Tofurkey is not a real food.

3.My life had been designed, constructed around drinking, drinking activities and other people who drank,  And so If I didn’t drink or didn’t want to, that would mean an identity crisis which our minds try to avoid at all costs.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

Love,

This is a session extracted from my program Happier Hour. In this session you will learn how cravings and urges are psychological phenomena and the ideal way to manage them is to acknowledge them, and allow them to pass through the body as a SENSATION and not something that needs to be acted upon.

In today's episode I sit down for a Zoom convo with my awe-inspiring friend and fellow California Institute of Integral Studies alum Ana Bess Moyer Bell.

Ana Bess holds a Masters degree in Drama Therapy from New York University and has been a practicing clinician since 2014. She is the founder of COAAST (now 2nd Act) and has practiced and taught drama therapy nationally and internationally and is a commissioned playwright. She is currently on the advisory board at the Rhode Island Department of Health helping to create and maintain the medical regulations for the nation's first legal harm reduction centres. She is a senior advisor to RI Governor Daniel J. McKee on substance use, harm reduction, and recovery. 

Listen in to hear how personal tragedy inspired her to create the work that she now does, from developing grassroots theatre to effecting policy change for harm reduction clinics and resources.

Even tho the focus of her work is on illicit substance use, the same conversation could be had around with alcohol use - the subsequent shame, loneliness, denial and search for relief are all relevant.

Alcohol is the gateway drug not only for the subsequent usage of other drugs and substances but also because it gives spirits access to your nervous system. 

Alcohol lowers our vibration and in excess, causes a toxic environment for our spirits to be in, it has also been shown in Kirlian photography to generate holes in the auric field. Our divine spirit then partially or even fully leaves the body but is still tethered to it.  And when our spirit is essentially NOT HOME, this becomes an opening and even an invitation for other spirits or energies to enter our bodies and animate them in ways that are not really us, not really in alignment with who we want to be or what we want to be doing, things that are out of character. 

Some spirits actually have a thirst or a craving for alcohol which then becomes your body’s thirst or craving for alcohol. And this also explains why we do or have done horrible things while intoxicated, or ended up hurting ourselves or others, and putting ourselves in danger sexually and physically.  Because these lower vibratory spirits have no regard for your body, your well being or your good intentions.  

Here to inform not to freak you out.

If you consider that you’re a healthy person, and that alcohol backs that up in someway, like giving you down time, relaxation, ME time etc. as a form of self care, you probably aren’t too activated to make changes.  

BUT if you notice that you’re having thoughts sprouting up about alcohol being not so great for you, whether you immediately dismiss them or if you’re beginning to entertain them and be curious about them, letting them in if you will, you are probably more in the zone of cognitive dissonance, which means that you are near if not already, ready to make changes in your drinking habits.

If this speaks to you - this episode is for you!

Are you headed into the weekend with drinking plans? Are you going to a gathering or otherwise hosting some shindig yourself?

And do gathering events make you a bit anxious about your alcohol consumption?

Then this episode is for you!

A few takeaways at a glance:

Remember that you are an ADULT!! You are not a teenager sneaking booze.  It does not have to be consumed in a vapid pace - tho your body and subconscious may act this way if you started drinking at a young age and had to hide it or drink it fast.  

You don’t have to hang!! In fact, be the one who doesn’t hang.  Remove your self from the conversation, the immediate vibe, if you feel compelled to drink beyond a light buzz or your own personal needs for comfort and safety.  

Be picky!! Don’t drink the cheap red wine, the Coors Lights whatever just because that is all that is left.  Look around - notice how the ‘drunk’ people are still getting drunker… ask your self if you want to BE drunk as well - is that where you are headed?

Love,

Jess
