Stop Over-drinking and Start Living

• Ep 349 Is There A More Appealing Reward Than Alcohol?

  Who has found themselves drinking as a 'reward?' Reward for a long productive day. Reward for 'dealing with the in-laws.' Reward for being a parent to teenagers. Reward for 'being good' and going without drinking for a few days. The reward lists can be long. If you have found yourself 'reward drinking' this episode is for you! You might have even said 'I couldn't find an alternative reward that sounded more appealing...' And we talk about WHY you are seeking a reward and how nothing is going to give you the same hit as alcohol will in that moment. It's about how to be with whatever is happening with your emotional state at that time instead of 'rewarding' yourself. Why do you need a reward?

• Ep 348 What To Do When Not Drinking Feels Hard

  Not drinking feels simple when you don’t even want a drink. But what about those moments when the cravings and hard urges show up — after a stressful day, when you’re out with friends, or when your brain insists that a glass of wine will make everything easier? That’s when the real work begins. In this episode, I’ll show you why urges aren’t a sign of failure — they’re actually the training ground where you build confidence and self-trust. You’ll learn how to pause, ride out the discomfort, and practice tools that make saying “no” possible even when it feels hard. If you’ve ever wondered why it feels so different on “easy days” versus “craving days,” this episode will give you a fresh perspective and practical strategies you can use right away. And I share my new favorite mantra, and you DON'T want to miss it. Also, make sure you are on my email list to be the first to sign up for the Sober October Challenge inside the Alive AF! coaching membership, enrollment will be open September 17th through October 1st and it won't be open again this year.

• Ep 347 REWIND- Is Your Drinkin' Creepin'

  Please enjoy this REWIND- This week’s episode talks about the creeping effect of drinking alcohol. Have you recognized: 1) Your drinking has increased over time in how many days a week you drink or how many drinks you have each time you drink? 2) When you try and cut back and then you are ‘loose’ with your rules around alcohol, you notice it creeping back in to your old habits? Tune in and hear how I describe this phenomenon. Alcohol is invasive it’s like a weed with a strong root that takes hold, and sometimes we need to do more than we think to get our drinking under control.

• Ep 346 Why People-Pleasing Keeps You Stuck in Over-Drinking

  If you’ve ever said yes when you really wanted to say no—whether it’s to a drink, an invitation, or keeping alcohol in the house for guests—you’re not alone. Women who over-drink often over-do in every area of life. We people-please, over-commit, and ignore our own needs to avoid disappointing others. But here’s the truth: every dishonest yes chips away at your self-trust and keeps you stuck in the cycle of over-drinking. In this episode, I’ll show you why trusting yourself with your yes and no is the foundation for real freedom. You’ll learn how to spot the difference between a clean yes and a guilt-driven one, why honesty in your relationships is essential for change, and how practicing small nos can help you build confidence and self-trust. This is the episode to listen to if you’re ready to stop people-pleasing, start trusting yourself, and create relationships built on honesty—not obligation.

• Ep 345 When Your Feelings Don’t Match Your Expectations

  Welcome back to the podcast! I've returned from a wonderful long break and I'm so excited to be back! Have you ever imagined how amazing something would feel—only to be surprised when the actual moment didn’t match your expectations? In this episode, I’m diving into that emotional mismatch and why our brains often get it wrong. You’ll learn why making decisions based on how you think you’ll feel in the future doesn’t work, and how to instead anchor your choices in the outcomes you actually want. Whether it’s with drinking, social events, or everyday life, knowing that thoughts and emotions change is so important. Tune in and hear some personal stories of my own feelings not matching what I thought I would feel! If you want help to stop over-drinking send me an email and we can talk about it, [email protected].
