Stop Drinking and Start Living- The Feminine Way

Why you should quit when your up


Listen Later

One of the most surprising and empowering truths in the alcohol-free journey:

The best time to change your relationship with alcohol is when you’re already feeling good.

If that sounds counterintuitive, you’re not alone. Most of us only commit to change when we’ve hit a low—after a fight, a blackout, a painful moment of regret. But what if that’s why it hasn’t stuck?

Inside this episode:

  • Why feeling good can be the most powerful time to quit drinking
  • How your brain tricks you into thinking it’s “not that bad”
  • Why waiting for a rock-bottom moment often backfires
  • How to leverage joy, momentum, and natural alignment for lasting change
  • What it means to build a life you don’t need to escape from
  • Why “just feeling better” isn’t a reason to stop doing the work
  • How I use dance, connection, and embodiment as part of my own alcohol-free lifestyle

You’ll also hear about my first-ever ecstatic dance DJ gig (dreams do come true!), and the kind of weekend that reminds me why I keep choosing this path, over and over again.

If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your joy and learn how to amplify your good feelings instead of dulling them, this episode is your invitation.
