EP132 The difference between behavior-based and identity-based changed 51:45

3h ago51:45

51:45

How often do you pour a drink that you wish you had the willpower to resist? There’s a big difference between knowing what you should do and having the motivation to follow through. The mistake most people make when they want to cut back on their drinking is to use an all or nothing approach. Because it seems easier to avoid alcohol than to worry a…

58:05

Are you a positive person feeling defeated by your drinking habit? It’s hard to feel optimistic when you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety due to overdrinking.

Ep128 The 5 things I wish I’d known about life after divorce with Sadie Marie 50:47

19d ago50:47

50:47

Do you feel stuck in your marriage and assume that life after divorce will only get worse? The only reason most of us stay in relationships that have run their course is because we think that staying married is somehow easier than getting a divorce. We want to avoid the shame, blame and fear of being alone. But your well-being does not depend on yo…

Ep127 Leaving the Church to find your truth with ex-good girl Sara Bybee Fisk 57:15

1M ago57:15

57:15

Were you raised to believe that thoughts and feelings that don’t align with your religious values are wrong and even “sinful?” Many of us who grew up in church are in the habit of ignoring emotions that contradict what we’ve been taught to believe is “right.” But rejecting our emotions requires us to reject ourselves, leaving us fractured instead o…

41:56

Do you struggle to show up as your best self because you feel fat, tired and grumpy? Most high achieving women diagnose themselves as lazy or bitchy when our bodies feel like “one more problem” we have to deal with. We push through our feelings and try harder to do better, but deep down wonder what is wrong with us. But even if we’re diagnosed with…

46:37

Are you scared of waking up in ten years and finding yourself in the exact same place…dealing with the exact same problems? It’s so easy to get lost in the busy-ness of everyday life. Our routines are overwhelming and there’s no time to stop and consider if we even want whatever it is we think we’re working so hard to get. And when your sole purpos…

3M ago38:44

38:44

I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him. This lack of safety and insecurity in our relationship…

Are you finding it hard to move forward in life because of a significant loss or trauma you’ve experienced? We can all agree there is no “right” way to recover from trauma, or an appropriate timeline for grief. But when you’re the one who’s suffering, it’s terrifying to feel frozen in time when life just keeps moving on for everyone else. But there…

Ep119: Is naltrexone effective in alcohol dependance? 50:47

3M ago50:47

50:47

Have you considered using naltrexone or other medications to curb your alcohol cravings? As alcohol use disorder is technically a thinking problem, most of us are too afraid to discuss our symptoms with a doctor. We worry about being forced into a treatment program or denied medications due to our drinking. And the more we try and fail to change on…

Are you worried about your ability to access high quality healthcare at a reasonable cost? Most of us are distracted by the politics of healthcare. But while we’re arguing about the rising costs and who has access to what services, most of us have failed to notice that the healthcare system in which we grew up no longer exists. It’s almost impossib…

Episode 62 - Acceptance is the Path to Power 26:09

3M ago26:09

26:09

We have this idea that acceptance means approval, that if we accept when something goes wrong—when a boundary is crossed, when someone disappoints us, when we get rejected—we’re saying it’s okay. When this is how we define acceptance, we avoid it; and when we avoid acceptance, we reject reality. We avoid processing our unmet expectations; we avoid …

Do you worry about how much you drink? Health conscious, high achieving women who prioritize clean eating, exercise, anti-aging supplements and skin care routines tend to have a lot of anxiety when it comes to alcohol.

Ep116: Why the ADHD brain is more susceptible to addiction with Eric Trivers 1:01:11

4M ago1:01:11

1:01:11

Are you the type of person who tends to over-do it, because if one is good, ten is better? The inability to self-regulate is a hallmark symptom of ADHD. Because the ADHD brain does not regulate dopamine well. Which makes it hard to get started when a task seems boring, and hard to stop when you’re feeling good. Typically perceived as a learning dis…

1:02:51

Do you feel pressure when you think about changing your relationship with alcohol? Like "good behavior" is just one more thing you have to work on? The reason drinking less (or not at all) feels impossible for many women is because alcohol has become a coping mechanism for stress. The problem is that drinking to relieve stress is the fast-past to a…

Do you have insomnia or identify as a person who has trouble sleeping? For many people, feeling tired is a way of life. We think we “can’t” sleep…and so we don’t sleep.

Has your drinking intensified the power struggle in your marriage?

Ep112: The scientific approach to curbing excessive drinking with Alcohol Minimalist Molly Watts 59:46

5M ago59:46

59:46

Have you considered that the reason it feels hard to drink in moderation might be that you’re operating on bad information? The biggest mistake that perpetuates over-drinking is the belief that you actually enjoy the third (or seventh) drink. Which means that limiting yourself requires a lot of willpower. But alcohol is a biphasic drug. Which means…

Do you rely on negative self-talk for motivation? Most high achieving perfectionists are unknowingly driven by a fear of failure.

And the voices of judgment and criticism are so deeply ingrained in our …

Does over-thinking and second-guessing yourself actually improve the quality of your decisions?

5M ago56:29

56:29

Are you in the habit of “starting over” when it comes to losing weight? Most of us pair an ideal number on the scale with an end date on the calendar when trying to lose weight.

Are you the victim of the all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to alcohol? Every time you try and fail to drink less (or not at all), the belief that “I can’t do this” gets stronger.

Grief plays a big part in the journey to stopping people pleasing and perfectionating. It's the death or the changing of a former life- a former way of seeing the world, a former way that we used to relate to each other in relationships, a former way that we used to be rewarded and recognized. It comes up a lot in my group coaching program, Stop Pe…

Are you clinging to strict religious or scientific beliefs that prevent you from embracing spiritual experiences?
