About this listen

How many times have you tried to “just drink less”… only to end up right back where you started?

In this episode, I’m talking about the hard but freeing truth behind repeated failed attempts at moderation — and the thinking patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck in the cycle of overdrinking.

If you’ve ever told yourself:

• “I’ll only drink on weekends.”
• “I’ll switch to wine.”
• “I just need better rules.”
• “This time will be different.” …this episode is for you.

We’re diving into the disordered thinking that protects alcohol instead of protecting you — including moving goalposts, alcohol amnesia, the “just one more try” loop, and the illusion of control that keeps you negotiating instead of deciding.

No shame here, just clarity.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognize when moderation isn’t working for you
• Why your brain keeps convincing you to try again
• The difference between perseverance and avoidance
• When it might be time to stop managing your drinking and make a clear decision

If you’re tired of thinking about alcohol all the time…tired of starting over…tired of proving you “should” be able to control it…

This Stop Over-drinking and Start Living Podcast episode is a conversation is for women who are sober curious, cutting back on alcohol, taking a break, or exploring a healthier relationship with drinking and with themselves.
