Episode 271: From Numbing Out to Waking Up: My Breakthrough with Wine, Food & Scrolling
Do you feel like you eat, drink, and scroll too much — and wish you didn’t?
I drank too much for years. I overate for years too. And while I didn’t hate it all the time, towards the end… I just felt stuck. Every day felt like Groundhog Day. Every Monday felt like I was starting again.
I wasn’t making progress in the areas that mattered to me. I felt unfit, tired, and sluggish all the time. My clothes didn’t feel right, and I didn’t feel good in my skin.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I broke free from each of those habits. I used a different strategy for alcohol and for food — and both have changed my life in different ways.
Tune in to hear:
The big turning point in my alcohol journey
Why I had to handle sugar and emotional eating differently
What’s actually changed in my life since healing from both
If you’re stuck in that cycle and don’t know how to break it — I hope this helps.
