    Ep. #115 Beliefs About Drinking VS. Experience

    Ep. #115 Beliefs About Drinking VS. Experience

    Our bodies and emotions respond to beliefs (thoughts) and real life experiences the same.

    Are you making decisions from BELIEF or FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE?

    We have so many uncovered beliefs about ourselves, the world and alcohol, it's important to ask:
    Is this true for ME?

    Is this based on FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE, or something I have interpreted from information outside of myself or influenced from the past?

    This is such a game changer for living life on purpose.

    Test your theories, uncover your truths.

    The worst that can happen is a FEELING.

    Dismantle your relationship to alcohol and ELIMINATE THE DESIRE TO DRINK.
     
    Generate evidence to support what you WANT to be true:

    That you don't need alcohol to be amazingly YOU!! WOOT!

    This may cause resistance and discomfort, but it's the only way to grow and change.

    Just because it's on the "news" or in a "health journal" doesn't mean it's true for you.

    When you know the author of your life, you can trust the next chapter.

    If your unexamined beliefs about alcohol are the authority, your future will be more of the same.

    Ep. #114 Where Attention Goes, Alcohol Flows

    Ep. #114 Where Attention Goes, Alcohol Flows

    Overwhelm and stress come from an unmanaged mind. The more you can see where you are leaking energy, the less need you will have to "unwind" in the evenings.
    You can mitigate your desires for alcohol by spending time with your thoughts are pulling your attention away.
    You only have so much bandwidth in a day, how do you want to spend it?
    You can look at just the habit of alcohol, but you also have to understand the WHY you are drinking. When you learn to intentionally place your attention on that which you would like to cultivate, and find closure in the stories that repeat again and again, you will be more successful in every other area of your life.

    Ep #112 The Unmet Desires Of Alcohol

    Ep #112  The Unmet Desires Of Alcohol

    There's a reason you can't fathom a life without alcohol. When you try, it feels like a hole. The access to a part of you that will be missing forever.
    It's been the only portal to the desires you have of being a free, erotic Woman.
    Alcohol will never be what you want it to be or what it once was.
    However, there are parts of the IDEA of alcohol that you do want.
    The parts of the autonomous Woman you are, free, wild, independent, that you don't see mirrored anywhere else in society.
    What are the desires that you THINK you only have access to through alcohol?
    Alcohol feels empty because it is an illusion of fulfillment.
    Fleeting and distorted.
    A ration of normalized sexuality.
    An insult on top of injury.
    These desires are part of your erotic nature of being HUMAN that alcohol doesn't even hold a flame to.
    The disappointment again and again of the fading illusions of grader are become more frequent and making it harder to say no, because you don't know where to go.
    In today's episode I share with you what you are awakening to that you can't quite identify and where else you can start looking to awaken your wild self.

    Ep. #98 Cycles and Rhythms: Understanding your hormones and alcohol

    Ep. #98 Cycles and Rhythms: Understanding your hormones and alcohol

    Your relationship to alcohol begins and ends in understanding the relationship to yourself.
    Your personal monthly cycle is the ESSENCE of who you are and your emotional understanding.
    In today's episode I teach you the most important practice in understanding your relationship to alcohol, the practice of understanding your own personal cycles and rhythms.
    How to simply start to notice when days feel "extra", and how the rush to change or cancel your emotions is creating a stronger habit to alcohol.
    When we are unflinching (as much as possible) in our own personal truth, we have a better chance at navigating the ever changing circumstances of life.
    This is crucial now more than ever.
    You must be able to TRUST yourself.
    This means knowing , understanding and honoring your emotions and how they create the desire to drink and create the beliefs that you SHOULD feel different than you do naturally.
    Your personal hormones, emotional response to life, and beliefs, dictate your desire for alcohol.
    Life starts and ends with you.
    Every moment YOU choose.
    No one can do that for you.
    To know yourself intimately, is how you hold yourself accountable and have your own back.

    Ep. #93 Honoring Trauma Part 1 of 3

    Ep. #93 Honoring Trauma Part 1 of 3

    Honoring Trauma  as a crucial step in healing your relationship to alcohol. 

    In this 3 Part Series, we will explore what trauma is, how it is stored in the body, how you cope with trauma via stress/neurosis. 
    Why this is inhibiting your ability for natural joy/pleasure and is contributing to creating a stronger desire for alcohol. 
    What you can do from where you are and how to start letting joy in now through celebrating your accomplishments through pride! 

    These episodes are jam packed. Make sure to listen to all 3 from the beginning. 

    It is probably the most important content I have yet to create, so grab a pen and maybe listen a second time.

    Trauma literally means wound.

     In this way, the trauma isn’t the even, it’s the result of the event, the unprocessed emotion.

    In my opinion everyone has some trauma.

    Some emotional wounds have a bigger impact on life depending on other factors of coping and resilience.

    Trauma doesn’t have to come from a war or abuse, it can come from feelings of isolation, fear and being misunderstood or invalidated as a child.

    Something as simple as being blamed for something you didn’t do, again and again, can leave a trauma wound, if the emotion is never validated.

    Today you will learn:

    What ways trauma shows up you.

    How it has protected you.

    How alcohol creates compounding trauma.

    Why you have a hard time relaxing without alcohol.

    How stress is a coping mechanism.

    Why receiving from other, feeling pride and a sense of accomplishment is uncomfortable. 

    The real reason you are listening to this show and alcohol is no longer working.

    The safe, sacred and practical steps to take to honor your trauma and be an example of what’s possible for future generations.

    Why you are unable to experience real joy and have to settle for synthetic joy and why it’s missing the mark.

    Ep. #90 A Friendliness Towards Life

    Ep. #90 A Friendliness Towards Life

    A new friendliness towards life,  leads to waiting a new relationship with alcohol, but unfortunately, the habit gets in the way.
    You may realize that you are not interested in the dramas and judgements of life anymore.
    You are identifying with life in a new way, but alcohol isn't changing with you and it's won't.
    The struggles come when you belive, this time will be different.
    When you think the act of drinking will change, you set your self up for disappointment.
    You have to know this time I"M DIFFERENT, so I don't need to drink.

    What’s really in the way of changing your relationship to alcohol, is admitting you are a different person.
    That what you once lived you don't anymore.
    You must give yourself permission to change your identity if you want to change your life.

    The reason there is so much conflict is because you keep trying to create something new in your life, but the identity associated with alcohol keeps over riding that.

    Changing Lenses

    Changing Lenses

    The lenses we see the world and ourselves through are completely optional and we can wear as many different lenses on this journey called life as we want. Did you know that?

    Join me this week as I show you what the process of changing lenses has looked like for me over the journey of growing my own business, and how so many of you are wearing damaging lenses that make it impossible for you to see all the ways in which you are amazing and accomplished right now. 
     

    What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

    • Why comparing your journey to other people’s and trying to do what they’re doing won’t work.
