    It’s Not About the Alcohol

    Would you like to reduce your alcohol consumption by about 80 percent? Become the version of you who can just “take it or leave it” so that you can enjoy drinking socially without relying on alcohol to manage your stress, anxiety, loneliness and boredom when you’re by yourself?

    Most high achieving women assume over-drinking is caused by a lack of willpower–or worse, the incurable disease of “alcoholism.” So they beat themselves up and avoid asking for help because they feel ashamed and out of control.

    Whether you’re a daily drinker who can’t break the habit, or you’re still going to sobriety meetings even though you don’t drink anymore, the real problem is that you don’t trust yourself.

    Which means it’s not about the alcohol. It’s about your relationship with yourself.

    Colleen Freeland is a a mindful drinking coach helping professional women learn how drinking less (or not at all) is actually a superpower, even when the idea of giving up the only thing that helps them quiet their mind feels impossible.

    The solution to alcohol use disorder is a FEELING. If you felt comfortable in your own skin and at ease in your life, you would drink like someone who is comfortable and at ease!

    Join me each week for holistic, evidence-based strategies to fix your dopamine deficit, regulate your nervous system, cure imposter syndrome, manage sugar cravings, improve your sleep and reclaim your mental health so you no longer have the urge to escape your own body.

    Get happy, not sober. Because happy people don’t drink themselves into a stupor.

    4 questions that transform the way you react to life Feb 27, 2023
    Show notes

    How often do you spend hours, days, weeks (ok, maybe months) ruminating on negative stories? Thinking and talking about the person or situation that is making you feel angry, hurt, disappointed, frustrated or concerned?

    Objectively, you'd probably agree that is not time well spent. After the intial sting, you're really just pissing off yourself with the story about the sting.

    Dwelling on the past sucks the joy out of your present and attracts more of the same in the future.

    In this episode, I give you four questions to ask yourself in times of stress. So that you can shift from victim of circumstance to master of your mind. These four questions will transform how you show up in the world and allow you to reclaim your power.

    Alcohol is not the problem--plus free discovery call with me Feb 20, 2023
    Show notes

    I was afraid of sobriety. Because I knew alcohol was just a distraction. I was mostly drinking to cope with an unhappy marriage. A stagnant career. I was bored with friendships that had run their course. My kids were leaving the nest and I didn't know what to do with myself or my time.

    I didn't know how to be alone.

    It felt good to quit alcohol. But sobriety didn't solve my problems. And it felt really childish to define myself by how much I do or don't drink.

    Are you struggling with the all-or-nothing approach? Are you sick of trying to cure over-indulgence with self-deprivation? Do you shame yourself into good behavior—only to fail backwards after you reach the goal?

    The SECRET to breaking the cycle of self-defeat is to learn how to interpret and process your emotions. Because anxiety and depression and loneliness and boredom are feelings—not facts. I can teach you how to manage your mind so that you can get out of your own way. And finally figure out what you really need and want.

    Want to learn how? Book a FREE discovery call with me.

    Day 58: Sober and Depressed--A coaching session on post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) Feb 13, 2023
    Show notes

    My client felt great when he quit drinking in December. But one month later, a mysterious bout of depression made him feel like he was "stuck in concrete." He bounced back only to have it happen again.

    The culprit here is post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS)--which effects most people to some extent when they quit drinking. We call it "recovery" for a reason. It takes time for brain chemistry to recalibrate.

    In this episode, I coach on how to navigate the mood swings that are typical in early sobriety. While episodes of post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) can be difficult, they are also an opportunity to unload subconscious baggage. For years, we used alcohol to cope with or escape our feelings. But feelings are valuable information--not meant to be ignored. Learning how to use that information puts you in control of yourself and your life.

    This story is a beautiful look at how the issues we have with our partners reveal more about US than them. Underneath the criticism and desire to "fix" his spouse (he thinks she tries too hard to please their dinner guests), my client discovers that it's actually his urge to please that's causing him stress.

    The more he takes responsibility for his feelings, the lighter and more hopeful he feels.

    The connection between diet culture and substance abuse and how to use nutrition and targeted amino acid therapy in recovery. With Chris Engen Feb 06, 2023
    Show notes

    Chris Engen is board certified in holistic nutrition and has an advanced certificate in recovery nutition coaching.

    In today's episode, Chris and I do a deep dive into the beliefs that lead to disordered eating and subsequent substance abuse. We blast the myth that being "messed up" is what gets us the diagnoses of generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, depression and bipolar disorder and more. In reality, we're deficient in the neurotransmitters that allow us to feel connected, grounded and positive.

    Chris explains that the way we feel in any given moment or phase of our lives is a reflection of our brain chemistry. And that stabilizing brain chemistry with proper nutrition and targeted amino acid therapy can immediately elevate our mood and eliminate cravings for alcohol, sugar and other self-defeating coping mechanisms.

    I had a drink last night Jan 30, 2023
    Show notes

    After trying on many beliefs about my relationship with alcohol, I've adopted the belief that I can drink anytime I want. Because it feels much better to think I don't want to drink than I can't drink.

    My recovery is no longer from alcohol. I have healed my brain and my body from years of abuse. My recovery now is focused on getting over my habits of people-pleasing and perfectionism. I am becoming a woman who listens to her intuition and trusts herself to manage the consequences of her own actions--both good and bad--without beating herself up.

    Last night, when I asked my body for permission to have a small glass of wine, the answer was, "go for it. You got this."

    And so I did. This episode is my post-drink analysis.

    Change Your Mind About Alcohol--The Challenge Returns Jan 23, 2023
    Show notes

    The motivation to drink less is usually pain. The problem is motivation to avoid pain disappears. The less you drink, the better you feel and the more likely you are to go back for another round.

    The reason the idea of sobriety feels like a denial of self and well-being is because drinkers view drinking as part of their identity. Also a coping strategy. So they ignore the evidence that life would be better without alcohol and focus on minimizing the pain.

    The solution is to reframe the problem. Stop trying to change the way you drink. Instead, change the way you think. About sobriety.

    Today I'm giving you a sneek peek for what I'll be covering in the Change Your Mind Challenge. If you like what you hear, join me on Thursday, January 26th at 1 pm EST for a five-part masterclass in how to upgrade your beliefs about what it means to quit drinking. If you're tuning in from the future, register anyway and get full access to the workbook and video replays.

    We're going to rebrand sobriety. So that you become a person who doesn't need or want alcohol SIMPLY because you feel better without it. It's not shameful or complicated. It's a no-brainer.

    How self-compassion and kindness lead to success--with Ana Weisberger Jan 16, 2023
    Show notes

    After moving to New York City and achieving the American dream, Ana felt empty and disconnected. She tried many things and eventually went on a 2-week meditation retreat. In the silence, she realized that her life was filled with noise and chaos.

    So she divorced her husband, quit her job, rented a house on a beach and embarked on a new career as a life coach.

    After the initial burst of energy that comes with making big life changes, she realized that she still struggled with a lack of motivation and self-defeating coping skills.

    She found the answer to be self-compassion and kindness to her body. And stopped measuring success by how life looks and instead focused on how life feels. Self-care became her top priority. Looking to honor herself instead of pleasing others, which included giving up substances--unhealthy food, cigarettes and alcohol-- felt joyful. Instead of feeling left out in a crowd of drinkers, she feels lucky.

    Ana is a breakup coach who helps people find themselves so they can heal their dating patterns—whether they decide to stay, leave or pursue a new relationship. You can find her on Instagram @anaweisberger and at https://talkwithana.com

    Recovering out loud--with Makini Campbell Jan 09, 2023
    Show notes

    In today's episode, we're holding space for Makini Campbell's "coming out" about her status as a woman in recovery. For her, speaking on this podcast marks the beginning of a new chapter.

    Serving as a highly empathic teacher and professional counselor to poverty-stricken communities, neglecting herself in the efforts to help others left her feeling broken. Like a mouse stuck in a maze.

    Makini shares how asking for help in a safe space gave her the courage and support she needed to heal. She now sees her triggers as a call to practice self-care. Because the turmoil is coming from inside her body—not out there. Her definition of strength now includes vulnerability and self-compassion.

    If you'd like to contact Makini to ask questions or work with her as a coach, her email is makinicampbell40@gmail.com. You can find her on Instagram @soul_reawakening and @pridefamilyservices

    Shame comes from the "sinner" mindset Jan 02, 2023
    Show notes

    Growing up in the Christian church, I'd been indoctrinated with the sinner mindset. That I was born unworthy. That my physical needs and desires are evil. And so I believed that if something felt bad or wrong, I was bad and wrong.

    I thought shame was the voice of God--moving me away from the voice of false knowledge.
