Stop Drinking and Start Living- The Feminine Way

What If Your Rock Bottom Is Just a Whisper...


Listen Later

If you’ve ever thought, “Is this as good as it gets?” or “I don’t want to keep doing this,” this episode is for you.

I invite you to consider a radical new idea: What if your rock bottom doesn’t have to be dramatic, destructive, or public? What if it’s just a quiet whisper—telling you that you’re meant for more? This episode explores the hidden beliefs and subconscious fears that keep us stuck in drinking patterns, even when our lives look “fine” from the outside. We unpack why alcohol feels so hard to let go of, the societal conditioning around what it means to have a "problem," and why making this shift is more about self-honoring than self-discipline.

Whether you're waking up foggy, skipping your morning intentions, or just feel out of alignment with the woman you know you could be—this episode is your loving nudge that it’s okay to want more. You don’t need to crash to rise.

What We Cover:

  • The subconscious fear of what quitting might “mean” about you
  • Why the label “alcoholic” keeps many women stuck in secrecy
  • How cultural narratives and inner child wounds fuel the habit
  • Why “not bad enough” is the biggest trap
  • The biology of change—why alcohol affects us differently as we age
  • How honoring the whisper is more powerful than waiting for a crash
  • Why your desire for more is enough
  • Real examples of women from all walks of life outgrowing alcohol
  • What happens when we show up in integrity—with energy, clarity, and courage
  • The transformational power of private coaching & sacred support
