Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 153, Grief During the Holidays with Krista St-Germain, Grief Expert Dec 01, 2021

You must listen to this week's episode with Krista St-Germain. She is a Master Certified Life Coach, grief expert, widow, mom and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast. When her husband was killed by a drunk driver in 2016, Krista’s life was completely flipped upside down. And while it would have been easy to believe her best days were behind her, thankfully Krista discovered Life Coaching and Post Traumatic Growth and was able to move forward and create a future she could get excited about. Now she coaches and teaches other widows so they can love life again, too. Our conversation touches on how we can support our family and friends who have experienced a loss. We also got into how to allow yourself to feel your grief instead of drinking and eating through it. We talked about the benefits of coaching for people who have experienced major losses and how it can help them feel empowered by their feelings instead of stuck and helpless. Thank you Krista!https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/podcast/https://m.facebook.com/coachingwithkrista/https://instagram.com/lifecoachkrista/ I am now accepting applications to my coaching program, Stop Over-drinking and Start Living.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 152, Gratitude Unexpected Nov 24, 2021

We can always find things to be thankful for. It’s actually not very hard. You can just ask yourself ‘what am I thankful for’ and your brain will give you lots of things. This week, I share my big list of what fills me with gratitude. AND I discuss why ‘just being thankful’ when we are going through something hard or complicated or painful, doesn’t help. When you are feeling bad and you say ‘I should be thankful for…’ or ‘at least it’s not as bad as …..’ doesn’t acknowledge that you are feeling and experience something hard. This bypasses what you are feeling and diminishes your pain, which isn’t helpful at all. When we do this, the pain is still there. ‘Being thankful’ doesn’t help it go away. So, we carry it around with us and then we end up drinking more than we want to escape that underlying pain that we are still experiencing. So, you can be thankful AND you can acknowledge some things that are hard.Enjoy the episode. I am so thankful for all of you. I am now accepting applications to my revamped coaching program, Stop Over-drinking and Start Living. It is a 6-month, small-group, women-only coaching program, and it is changing lives!Apply now! https://www.angelamascenik.com/joinsodsl

The frequency at which you want to numb your mind should be a signal that your mind needs some help. Not a signal to numb it.

Join me this week as I explore all the excuses of 'doing it later.' I explain WHY we are inclined to do things at a later time, whether it's later that same day, on Mondays, or January 1sts. And I explain how doing it later doesn't help you suffer any less than you already are. We think that doing it later will be easier, but we know (from having this pattern for years) that it won't be easier at a future time. It's just your brain's way of being comfortable in the moment.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 145, Willingness to Letting it Go Oct 07, 2021

I wrote this thinking about how I can teach you to be willing to let something go. Willingness to fail. Willingness to make mistakes. Willingness to be sick. Hold on the tightest is when we get in trouble. Trying to convince. Trying to resist. Trying to please. All of that effort instead of being open to it ending. Being open to surrendering. Being open to being wrong. Being open to making mistakes. Being open to letting them leave you. RESIST, push, fight, hold on, being right, being perfect, convicting. No thank you. This is me. This is you. I’m ok and you are ok. Can you let it be? Can you accept? Can you allow it to feel easier? Can you allow it to be imperfect?

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 144, Allowing People to Be Upset Sep 29, 2021

I want to explore the art of letting someone be upset with you. First, people have emotions all the time. And it’s normal for us to disappoint or trigger negative emotions in other people. It does happen, it will continue to happen until we die. We can not control it.Sometimes you will cause other people to be upset. And if you can learn how to navigate that better, you can create a better connection through it with the other person and do less harm to yourself. When a person displays or communicates how they are feeling, just take a breath, and step back and allow them to be exactly where they are. It’s ok for them to be upset.It’s ok for you to be upset. Everyone’s emotions are ok. Tune in and learn how this allowance of the other person's emotions will help you drink less and improve your relationships.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 143, Stop Policing People Sep 22, 2021

This episode might make you feel uncomfortable.. I’m talking about how we might police people in what they do or don’t do. When you feel free to tell people how they are doing something wrong (in your opinion) and they should do it in a way that matches what you think is right, that is policing them. We do this because of how our society has taught us to behave, how we were raised, where we were raised, and how our culture operates. All of that to say, when you think people should do it differently and you take the liberty to tell them, it keeps YOU small. What’s really happening is you see something in them that triggers you to consider you could do it differently too.. and you might feel threatened, like your way is exposed as NOT the only way! Tune in and hear how you can stop policing other people, and if you are the one being policed, how you can find compassion and understanding.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 142, Rejection Sep 15, 2021

Rejection is defined as the dismissing or refusing of a proposal, idea, etc. Humans don’t like rejection. To be told no, or to be denied something you want, or an idea that you have, or to sell something, or to put yourself out there and then told no, whether it’s love, or a new job, or a business idea. The idea of rejection or being rejected keeps a lot of people from going forward. But the most PAINFUL rejections are the ones we do towards ourselves. Tune in and learn how you can identify 3 areas in which you might be rejecting yourself and your goals. And how you can shift to stop rejecting what you truly want and start to say YES to you and your amazing life. The weight of your unlived dreams lives unsatisfied inside of YOU. And it keeps growing the longer you reject what it is you actually want. This is one of the reasons why we numb and escape. And you don't have to keep doing it.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 138, Making it Easy to Drink Less Aug 18, 2021

We can’t make permanent changes with our relationship with alcohol or any relationship unless we get conscious of our current thoughts. This is important because we are motivated to seek pleasure avoid pain and save energy. This is our foundational basic human programming, it’s the motivational triad. So, if we don’t know what we are thinking.. and how that plays into the motivational triad, it can feel like you are pushing through mud. Your thoughts make you feel a range of emotions. Some positive some negative some just neutral. Your brain will recognize these emotions as painful or as feeling good. When your brain recognizes these emotions as difficult or painful.. the motivational triad will dictate what happens next. If they are painful, your brain will motivate you to avoid that pain and seek pleasure and save your energy. If they are feel good ones, it will motivate you to keep doing whatever you are doing to get that feel good feeling. You can learn how to use this basic programming to make it easy to drink less.

When you want new results in your life like maybe to stop over-drinking or to lose some weight… You might have this ‘well, I haven’t really tried’ thought. And then you go on to think.. 'well, I'm still drinking too much on the weekends, I haven't been sticking to my food plan 100% of the time, sometimes I snack after dinner.. I'm not drinking enough water, I overeat on vacation a lot last week..' Basically, you go and reflect on all the things that you 'haven't been doing perfectly' to prove this [belief] to be true... or even more fun, you like to go look at all your past attempts at making changes and kick yourself even harder when you recall all the failed attempts.. and think ‘see I can never do it.’ And then you might feel inclined to 'try harder.' You might then decide to restrict, swear off alcohol for a month, go on a restrictive diet like keto or juice fasts. And then that attempt to 'try harder' feels really f#^*ing hard. And you white knuckle your way through the week, and by the time Thursday rolls around, you are like 'OMG, I deserve a break!' And then you overeat, over-drink and that whole cycle just begins again. Tune in and hear what you need to 'try harder' at to get the results you want! Don't miss.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 129, Your Enduring Human Spirit Jun 16, 2021

This week's podcast is inspired by my recent trip to New York City and visiting the One World Trade Center and the sight of the 9/11 attacks. I hadn't been there since 2006, so it looked a lot different, it was gorgeous. It was very moving and I couldn't help but think about the human spirit and how it endures hardships and often comes out of hardships even better than before. That's what I saw in NYC this past weekend. Just like many of you, who have overcome their struggle with alcohol, this area where the twin towers used to live was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, stronger and more beautiful than before. On July 4, 2004, they laid a cornerstone of the new 'freedom tower' now called the One World Trade Center, a 20 ton piece of granite inscribed with these words 'enduring spirit of freedom.' Just like Americans value their freedom and won't let anyone take that away from them YOU have an enduring spirit within you that is with you no matter what, in hardship and in joy. Tune in this week and hear how you can tap into your own enduring human spirit and notice how it's been with you all along.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 128, Taking a New Route Jun 09, 2021

This week I'm discussing the process of taking a new route with your drinking patterns.We all know what it's like to learn something new. It takes time. It takes repetition. It takes making mistakes along the way.But when it comes to learning how to stop over-drinking.. we expect perfection.. we are hard on ourselves when we don't do it perfectly.This episode illustrates just how automatic the process of over-drinking has been for us.We don't have to consciously * think * too hard about doing it. We just do.It's the same process as driving home from work.. we don't really have to think about which roads to turn on, we just know and do it.Now, change the route home and try to do that without thinking too hard.. well, you will probably miss some turns.Change the silver ware drawer in your kitchen.. notice how often you go back to grab the silverware in the old location.Taking a new route with alcohol requires us paying attention, getting conscious about our old patterns and having a new route mapped out in advance so that we learn how to drink less.You don't want to miss this one! **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

I am digging in this week on what it means to bypass your feelings.What happens when you don't allow yourself to be sad [insert any emotion]?When you think you 'shouldn't' be sad.. and don't acknowledge that you ARE sad you are bypassing how you feel.This causes a disconnect and you become out of alignment with what is happening inside of you and who you are.And you notice that disconnect subtly.. you might think 'what is wrong with me?' or 'Why aren't I happy..?' 'Or what am I supposed to be doing..'You might notice more buffering like over-drinking or overeating and avoiding doing things that you actually want to be doing.Acknowledging that you ARE experiencing an emotion is exactly what we should be doing.There is nothing wrong with you for having feelings. All humans have them, we just aren't taught about them and what to do with them when they come up.Honoring yourself and naming and accepting the feelings you have is the way to preventing more problems like over-drinking or overeating down the line.Your feelings have messages to tell you if you slow down enough and listen.Tune in and learn how to stop bypassing your own emotional experiences so you can move through them and get to the other side of feeling better.DON'T FOR GET TO SIGN UP FOR The Conference: 3-day virtual event with Angela. www.angelamascenik.com/theconference **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 125, How to Identify Self-Sabotage May 19, 2021

I used to think self-sabotage meant I was doing something wrong.. and I didn’t like thinking that about myself so I haven’t enjoyed using the term self-sabotage until now. I now think self-sabotage is actions I'm doing that aren’t helping me get the results I want. When I think about it this way I feel curious and open to figuring out why I’m doing things I really don't want to do. Being willing to learn about your own self-sabotaging behaviors is taking responsibility for actions you take that don’t create the results you want. For most of you that would mean drinking more than you actually want. For example, wanting and planning that you will only drink 2 and you end up drinking 4, if you do that over and over again, we want to look at that and see why. Humans will always self-sabotage, it’s what we do. So, there is nothing wrong with you. We have limiting beliefs about ourselves and other people and those beliefs often cause us to do things we don’t really want to do. They won’t go away.. but we can shine the light on them and understand our patterns, and recognize them when they are happening and make adjustments so we don’t stay in self-sabotage as long as we normally do and we can still get to our goals. Tune in this week to learn how to identify self-sabotaging patterns so you can get to your goals faster! Join me for SODSL The Conference!!It's happening June 4th-6th and it's VIRTUAL!

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 124, When Things Change May 12, 2021

Humans like to know what is going to happen. We like routine, structure and doing the same things.. because it's predictable, we know what to expect, and we don't have to constantly scan for danger. Because of this we might be feeling a little unsettled right now as the US starts to open back up and we have more social engagements, travel opportunities, or as we go back to work and being around more people and commuting. A lot of you have been working on how much you are drinking and you might have noticed an uptick in drinking more or are worried that you won't be able to stick to your new non-over drinking habits as you become more social. This podcast episode addresses these changes and gives you some tools to make sure you recognize what might be triggering you to want to drink more or worry about drinking more.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 123, Why It’s Hard to Say NO May 05, 2021

It's hard to say no to other people sometimes, right? And WHY is that the case, especially for women? Well.. maybe it's because if you stood up and said NO you got in trouble when you were a kid. Maybe.. you have been told by family, society, work, -that you shouldn't be too loud, talk back, disagree... And if you have a hard time saying NO I want you to know that you can learn how. But it takes some awareness of how you might be holding back. This week's podcast I describe how I've held myself back and having a lack of boundaries because pleasing other people came before pleasing myself. And when you do that you often feel discouraged, frustrated, and are hard on yourself for not saying what you actually wanted to and then at the end of the day you DRINK. Learning how to say NO AND speaking your truth and having boundaries for yourself is an art and it takes practice and awareness and the willingness to feel uncomfortable on purpose. But listen, friends, when you do... your mind and your energy will crack so wide open you will feel unstoppable, like you actually do get to choose what you want to do, and then you will DO IT. AND THEN YOU WON'T NEED TO DRINK AT THE END OF THE DAY TO SHUT OFF. And then you will start living the life you want to live on your terms. And you will ask yourself what you want first. And it's a magical, fun, happy place to be in.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 122, I Get To Apr 28, 2021

I GET TO SAY NO. But listen.. just over 3 years ago, 'getting to say no' was not an option. I would have thought 'I can't say no,' or 'saying no isn't an option' or really.. NO was not even a consideration. It wouldn't even have crossed my mind that saying no easily could be a possibility. If I had been in one of the cycles of trying to cut back I might have thought 'I shouldn't have that drink..' or 'I said I wasn't going to drink, but I don't want to hurt their feelings' or 'screw it everyone else is drinking, I should be able to have a glass or 2, I'm a grown-ass adult who takes care of my shit.' Getting to say no feels like a freaking privilege. It feels like I have choices. It feels powerful. I get to say NO just like I get to say Yes if I want to. Getting to the place where I get to say NO was the most exciting journey I've ever been on.And I want to share how you can get here too.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 121, Are You Being Too Nice to Yourself? Apr 21, 2021

This week's episode explores how you can end shaming yourself when you over-drink AND find compassion when you do. 'I'm gonna be easy on myself and not be too strict..so I'm gonna allow myself to have a drink.' This is not being nice to yourself or being easy on yourself. Being nice to yourself looks like checking in with yourself, asking yourself why you want a drink in the first place, slowing down and processing those feelings, and supporting yourself in the ways you WANT to instead of your default of going for that drink. That is compassion for yourself. You are acknowledging that you want something or feel stressed or whatever it is, and you are validating those feelings which is the most loving way you can support yourself. Drinking and deciding to drink and 'take it easy' on yourself and let up on your goals, IS NOT BEING NICE. Because when you do that you are numbing a part of you that wants to be heard and felt and listened to. Tune in as I dive into the balance of not being hard on yourself AND how we can't be 'too nice.' Hey, do you enjoy listening to the podcast every week, FOR FREE?

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 119, Why Do We Judge Other People? Apr 07, 2021

This week's episode is a juicy one.I've been coaching a lot around Covid and all the issues we have with other people and their decisions on masking, not masking, getting vaccinated, not getting vaccinated, traveling vs not traveling, school or no school.This debates on this are about as hot as a presidential election.We get very attached to how people should be acting during this pandemic and it's having an impact in our daily life.I did some research on why humans are so quick to judge and what I found comes down to how our brains are programmed.Basically, it's easier to judge than to pause and take mental energy to think about why the other person might be doing something different than you.Tune in and learn why we judge and how you can see the impact it might be having in your life.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 118, Swearing and the Patriarchy Mar 31, 2021

Patriarchy, as I define it is a set of beliefs and systems where men hold more power and women have less.One small example of 'the patriarchy' is the beliefs that 'we' women shouldn't swear in so-called professional environments.I have received enough feedback on my swearing and how it's not 'professional' that I wanted to dive deeper into these sets of beliefs, that a lot of WOMEN have.Yes, women can hold patriarchal beliefs that they've adapted from our systems and societies as well. Please join me in this very lively discussion with my colleagues, Corinne Crabtree, Susan Hyatt, Brig Johnson and Kara Loewentheil. All of these women show up authentically in their business and swear away. And they've got A LOT to say about it.This is what I know.I used to hold myself back from who I really was. I wanted to appear 'polished' and 'professional' and didn't swear in public. And when I held myself back from who I am, I DRANK, a lot. I also overate A LOT.So, when I started my journey to stop over-drinking and start f'ng living..I decided NO MORE FILTERS or editing myself to be more 'acceptable' to other people.And I feel more alive and more like me than I ever have.The patriarchy does affect our lives as women and I invite you to join this conversation and learn how it might be holding you back from living the life you WANT to life.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 116, Are You Porning Out Over Wine? Mar 17, 2021

Ha! This week is a FUN one. I describe how we get really worked up in our heads about our love for our favorite drinks and how this creates a very strong desire for the drink which often leads to over-drinking. I've coined this concept 'porning out.' Similar to fantasizing on how awesome sex would be we fantasize on how good that glass of wine will be. But if you really pay attention to this and look at the truth and the reality of that glass of wine you will quickly see it isn't as good as the story in your head.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 115, What is Mindset Coaching? Mar 10, 2021

What is Mindset Coaching? I get asked all the time what kind of coach I am. And it's a great question because there are a lot of different coaching modalities out there. I coach you on your mind. I show you how your thoughts are creating your results in your life. The first step is awareness and then you have options. A lot of people want specific instructions on what to DO. And I don't tell you what to do. I coach you on how to think differently and create new thought patterns that will drive the actions you want to take and then your actions become more impactful. Tune in listen to the difference between mindset coaching versus action type coaching. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 114, Your Unconscious Bias Mar 04, 2021

Unconscious Bias (or implicit bias) is often defined as prejudice or unsupported judgments in favor of or against one thing, person, or group as compared to another, in a way that is usually considered unfair. In this week's episode, I'm talking about our own unconscious bias we have against our own bodies or ourselves. I explore how you can find an unconscious bias you have toward women who look different than what we as a society consider 'normal.' Women in larger bodies, women with non-white skin color, women who dress outside of the norm, older women who wear 'younger' women's clothing, women who dress too sexy, women who expose their bodies more than what we believe is acceptable. When you have this unconscious bias happening (WE ALL HAVE IT BTW) and then you want to change your own body or health, ie lose weight, stop over-drinking, then you turn those biases towards yourself. I help you see how this shows up in your mind and how you can get aware of it, and start to let go of some of these biases so you can feel better about yourself and reach your goals faster. The first step in all growth is always awareness. Approach this episode and what I am sharing with an open mind and curiosity to see how this shows up in your own life. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 110, Up-leveling Your Discomfort + a Good Story Feb 03, 2021

If you've successfully cut back on how much you are drinking, even if it's just one extra day less or instead of 3 drinks you've been having 2 more often, you had to go through some discomfort to do that right? You had to process urges, manage your mind, say no more often, and all that isn't a walk in the park, it's UNCOMFORTABLE. When you move towards any goal you will have different levels of discomfort. The first level of discomfort is often the hardest but once you accomplish it and make some headway it becomes less uncomfortable and you can even settle into the new normal. It feels more natural, like you don't have to try as hard. Well, this episode I talk about up-leveling that discomfort and choosing to feel uncomfortable AGAIN to make more progress towards your goal. You also want to listen as I tell you a story about my recent 'tiny' house rental.. let's call it the ultimate test of my level of discomfort, ha ha! **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 104, Coaching Call on Love vs Loathing and Weight loss Dec 22, 2020

My amazing client allowed me to share a segment of our coaching call with you. We were discussing loving yourself to lose weight vs. self loathing. You see, most of us are in self loathing about our bodies. We want to be smaller, tighter, fitter and we have thoughts about our bodies that leave us feeling BAD about ourselves. When we feel bad about ourselves we tend to NOT do the things that help us feel better. We self-sabotage, continue overeating, over-drinking, and not exercising. When we are self-loathing it keeps us AWAY from our goals. During this coaching call I help her explore how when we choose to LOVE ourselves and feel good about ourselves we are much more successful in our pursuits of weight loss. You don't need to be afraid of loving yourself and then not feeling motivated to lose weight. We often think 'Well if I accept myself.. I won't want to lose weight.' This is not what happens. When you love yourself, you want to respect yourself and you do things respectfully for yourself like only eating when you are hungry and moving your body and drinking lots of water. Tune in and here how we can go from self-loathing to self-love. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 103, Why You Shouldn’t Be Happy Dec 16, 2020

This week on the podcast I talk about 'being happy.' Our society has told us since we were wee toddlers that 'we should just be happy!' 'Just do what makes you happy!' 'Be with someone that makes you happy!' And this programming has left a lot of us wondering 'Why am I not happy?' And then we feel like something is wrong with us. I'm explaining why we shouldn't be happy all the time and why you actually DON'T want to be happy all the time and the pursuit to happiness is not what you think it is. I highly recommend you listen especially as we enter the holidays and end this year. It will give you a whole different perspective and help you be with your current emotional state with ease. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 101, Listener Q+A Dec 02, 2020

You wrote in and asked me some amazing questions! I answered them LIVE on the podcast AND announced the lucky winners from my 100th episode celebration!Tune in and hear me answer:'How did you know you wanted to stop drinking completely?

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 98, AUTHENTICITY AND DRINKING LESS Nov 11, 2020

This weeks episode I share how being authentic for me helped me drink less and go bigger in my life. I decided at the very beginning of my journey that I wasn't going to hide who I was anymore. Me choosing authenticity in my life, in my business, with my family, friends, in my values SERVES me. It doesn't mean it's always easy. Sometimes it's down right awkward and uncomfortable. When I wrote and produced this episode I knew that me sharing my true authentic self would turn people away.. and it's ok. I don't need to make everyone happy. What I want is for me to feel true in my life and when I do that I end up helping a lot more people in the end.

It's a feeling. It's EVERYTHING. Especially when you feel like you are in a hurry to meet your goals. Learning how to feel patient actually helps you get there faster.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 94, Validated Oct 15, 2020

Do y’all do this? You get upset or something triggers you and then you might spin out a bit in your head and then tell someone else about it and then you say something like am I crazy for thinking this? I mean I should be upset about this right? This is just you looking for someone else to validate your feelings and thoughts. It’s not wrong or right to do this, by the way, I for sure do it too. But what I want to suggest you start doing is validate your own feelings. I realized that I do this on the regular basis and I’ve been trying to find a way to explain the beautiful benefit of doing this and finally figured out how to share it. So, tune and listen how you can feel validated all on your own.Apply to join me in my Stop Over-drinking and Start Living program HERE:https://angelamascenik.lpages.co/ Check out Aine Morgan-Bauer (my amazing coach friend who helps moms in the Big 4 go after that promotion while balancing a home life).https://www.ainemorgan.com/

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 091, When You Don’t Feel Like You This episode I wanna talk about when you don’t feel like you. I hear this from so many women. They tell me, they used to feel good, they used to do fun things and hobbies and exercise and go out and try new things. Then they get into a habit of drinking wine and then before they even realize it they don’t feel like themselves. They feel stuck in a rut, they just want to drink wine at night, they tell me it’s just automatic sometimes they don’t even think about it. They aren’t inspired, they don’t get out there and do the things, sometimes their homes get cluttered, they don’t exercise anymore, their relationships just feel flat. And then they tell me they just want to feel like themselves again. And instantly I know that they have lost that connection with themselves and the process of getting them back to knowing themselves and enjoying themselves is what is required to permanently stop over-drinking. Tune into this week’s episode and listen in how you can feel like you again. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 90, Interview with Corey Williams on Race and Feelings Sep 16, 2020

This week we are celebrating 90 episodes on the podcast! We are very honored to have Corey Williams as our guest. Corey is a Racial Equity Educator and Coach. I had her on the podcast, because 1st she’s amazing, and 2nd we have been geeking out together about feelings. What Corey helps people do is to feel GOOD about learning and exploring as you become anti-racist. She believes you don’t have to feel ignited and full of anger to talk about race. In the episode we use a real life example of some feedback I received when I had recently opened up and shared about race. No matter where you are or where you stand on the subject of race it’s important to know WHY you do and say the things you do about it. It all comes down to how we are feeling and it’s important to recognize your feelings about it. Just like our feelings drive our drinking our feelings are driving actions of scrolling on by or dipping our toes in the water to becoming anti-racist. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 89, How to Retrain Your Brain Sep 09, 2020

This week I’m sharing how you can retrain your brain to have new habits. It comes down these 2 things- 1st - consistently and repeatedly interrupting the automatic cycle you are currently on. Stopping, pausing, and feeling instead of drinking or eating. Retraining your brain that instead of pouring a glass of wine, we pause, feel, and process. Once you do this repeatedly it becomes your automatic response instead of pouring the glass of wine. 2nd - start to reprogram your brain with new thoughts. Going from thinking 'I just love wine!’ To ‘wine’s ok, I enjoy it occasionally.’ Tune in and learn how you can apply these simple concepts to stop over-drinking and start doing what you actually want to do now. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 88, Why Do I? Sep 02, 2020

Why do I?I am going to help you always have an answer to this question. Why do I?… drink, overeat, spin out, yell, do things that I actually don’t want to do. Or NOT do. Why can’t I Why don’t I? Same question. When your brain asks this question it’s important to answer it. If we don’t answer the questions we ask our selves, we don’t get resolution and it feels confusing and incomplete and humans generally don’t like the way that feels so then we get motivated to get out of that pain and we go seek pleasure to avoid it. We might drink again, eat more chips, or not get out and exercise.The answer to these questions is always… because I didn’t want to feel something or I didn’t feel like it. 100% of the time, what you do or don’t do is in response to your feelings.If the question is why do I drink when I say I am not going to drink? The answer is because my feelings drove me to drink. If the question is why can’t I stick to my plan, the answer is because you had a feeling that didn’t drive the action you wanted to take If the question is why don’t I do what I say I’m gonna do, the answer is because you had a feeling that didn’t drive the action you wanted to take.Tune in this week and understand how you can always solve the question WHY and learn how to change that behavior. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Do you feel like this year just keeps getting worse? You are not alone.2020 has been a cyclone of emotions for most people.I feel like our society is on the edge of total emotional collapse.We 'can't take much more.'Yet, I know we can. Because we are humans and we are built to endure and grow and evolve and shift and pivot through hardships.It's how everything we have now has been created.All the luxuries and conveniences and technology and medicine have been created because a problem existed.We have a lot of problems right now.But, MOST of us are operating on auto-pilot, spinning in overwhelm, confusion, worry, anger, and exhaustion.When we run on auto-pilot, we don't slow down to feel our feelings and understand what they are trying to tell us.Instead, we let our feelings drive our actions and we drink, eat, avoid, scroll, yell, hide, not exercise, not move forward with solutions or goals.So we stay stuck and create even more problems than the world is delivering to us.Tune in and hear how you not allowing your feelings can create even more issues down the line.. including the current issue that many of us have, over-drinking. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 86, The Lie of Certainty Aug 19, 2020

Life is NOT certain. We just think thoughts that make us feel certain about the structures of our lives that we have put in place. Such as having a job, our home, our health, our families. We think about all these things in the current and future tense as if they will never change. Generally, we don't live our lives thinking that we could die, we won't have work, or we could lose everything. But of course, anything can happen, and that is always a risk that we have just by choosing to be alive and live. Right now during the pandemic, we are feeling a lot of uncertainty about the future. Tune in this week and learn how you can navigate the uncertainty in a way that feels good and will keep you on track with your goals, no matter what your current circumstances are. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 85, New Way to Lose Weight, LIVE Class Aug 12, 2020

Tune in to hear a live class I taught this week about how to lose weight without dieting. Losing weight is less about what food you are eating and more to do with what you are thinking. You can lose weight easily. It doesn't have to be 'another thing' you take on in your life. You already eat and think about food, learning how to do it by using your inherent skills, and tuning into your body, is the way to do it permanently. You don't need to count calories, track macros, and exercise hard every day to lose weight. Listen in and hear how traditional diet methods set us up for failure, not long term permanent success. You can make it easy and fun and dare I say.. PERMANENT. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 84, It’s NOT the Want that’s the Problem Aug 06, 2020

In this week's episode, I talk about the WANT for alcohol. Also, called urge, desire, 'feel like it,' drive to drink. So many of my clients are worried about the urge/want/desire, they think they can't handle it. Tune into this episode where I dissect the desire/urge/want and separate it from the conflict in our minds. The want is a vibration in your body if you can truly be with this feeling you can see that managing urges 'the want' is not a problem. The problem is what is going on in our minds. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 83, You are Born This Way Jul 30, 2020

This episode is NOT me preaching how you are born with some gene that makes you over-drink. I actually DO NOT BELIEVE in 'the gene' or 'not having an off switch.' But, what I do know to be TRUE, is that you are born with bravery, confidence, motivation, self-love, respect, drive, and acceptance. You aren't someone 'who isn't brave.' You aren't someone 'who isn't motivated.' You aren't someone 'who lacks confidence.' YOU WERE BORN WITH all of these feelings and attributes. You just haven't learned HOW to use them. Tune in this week and learn how you can use your given talents so you can stop over-drinking and start living.

Tune in and hear me define what our relationships are and my answers to these questions:- How relationships and our decision to drink are intertwined.- How to deal with intensity in relationships.- What to do when you recognize over-drinking behavior in your loved ones while you are doing the work to cut back on your own drinking. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 80, How NOT Hitting Rock Bottom Could Be Worse Jul 09, 2020

This week I'm discussing how NOT hitting rock bottom could be worse.When we are stuck in a high-functioning pattern of living our lives, working, taking care of our families, we can let YEARS pass us by without making significant changes with our relationship with alcohol.This is very dangerous. Because on the outside, most people won't recognize you as being someone with a drinking problem, so you don't get the interventions and external pressure. And because of being here, it's sometimes very difficult for you to admit to your family and friends that you want to cut back because you don't want labels and for people to worry that you can't drink.So, we stay stuck and hidden, and before we know it decades are passing.You don't have to hit rock bottom and for your life to completely unravel to get help.Tune in and hear how this place, sort of in the middle, can often be more detrimental. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 79, Processing Grief Jul 01, 2020

This week's podcast I am sharing how I am processing grief as my grandmother's life is ending. Grief is an emotion that you WANT to learn how to process and be with because if we numb or avoid it it will cause many more painful emotions and issues down the road. I believe that grief is evidence of LOVE and life and joy. When we grieve it's because we have lost something important to us. Grief needs to be allowed the same amount of time and space as we allowed the love preceding it. Tune in and also hear me share some amazing memories of my childhood with my grandmother. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 78, How to Decide Whether or Not to Take a Break Jun 25, 2020

I want to teach you how to understand and evaluate how you are making your decision to drink or not drink. For some of you, you have an idea that a 30, 60, or a 90-day break will help you reset your drinking habits. Dry January is very popular because of all the over-indulging y’all do during the holidays. You feel sick and bloated and you want to make some changes when the holidays are over. You might feel frustrated, gross, disappointed, shameful for how much you drank. Then you decide to take a 30-day break. Then you start out strong, you might get a week in, and then you start feeling good, lighter, less puffy, you might even be sleeping better. Then Friday night rolls around and you think one drink won’t hurt, ‘I’ve been so good.’ And then before you know it you are back to your old ways. So, in this episode, I’m going to help you see how you are making these decisions and then help you make a decision that feels good and one that will last longer so you can get off the on again off again cycle.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 77, Fear of Missing Out, FOMO Jun 17, 2020

When I ask women what is stopping them from moving forward with going all-in on stopping the over-drinking and committing to making permanent changes with their relationship with alcohol, they tell me all sorts of fear-inducing thoughts. Such as, 'I'm scared... that my life won't be fun.. I'm scared I'll fail.. I'm scared I won't know how.. I'm scared of what people will think of me.. I'm scared my relationships will change..I'm scared to dig deep and look at what is causing me to drink.. I'm scared of saying I'll do it and then won’t..I WILL MISS OUT.' Fomo, fear of missing out, which is a legit reason people don’t cut back on their alcohol consumption. Women with FOMO have an underlying belief system that is telling them ALCOHOL IS MORE MORE. We believe alcohol is more fun for lots of reasons, such as our first experiences with it, what society is constantly telling us in movies, social media, fancy beautiful bars, and wineries, our society glamorizes alcohol especially to women. And if we've tried to go to a social event and not drink, our experience has probably not been great. All of this plays into the FOMO we have when we seriously think about cutting back. Tune in and hear me describe how you can overcome FOMO and instead of feeling scared you will miss out when you don't drink, see what you actually miss out on when you decide to cut back (clue... hangovers..eating all the snacks..puffiness..lack of sleep). **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 76, Deprivation and Social Injustice Jun 10, 2020

This week I dive into the fear of feeling deprived when you are trying to cut back on how much you are drinking. Often we think we don't want to feel deprived before we go to a party or social event or Friday night, and we don't even try to drink less because we don't want to feel deprivation. In this episode, I examine the feeling of deprivation and how when you decide to drink/eat so you don't feel deprived you are actually depriving yourself of your goals and dreams of being someone who drinks less.I also address our current social issue here in America, racism.In the same way, our society influences how much we drink, our society influences how we think and act towards people of color. I'm not claiming to be an expert on this topic, my goal is to talk about it openly and plant the seed that you might challenge your current thoughts on racism here in America too.Stay curious, stay open, and notice your feelings on this topic. If you are feeling defensive, angry, or pissed, ask yourself why and notice the thoughts you have and know that they are optional.If you can change your thoughts about alcohol you can change your thoughts about racism.Link to purchase the book White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 75, Human Preference Jun 03, 2020

In this episode, I explain our human preference in how we choose to live our lives. We all have the same preferences, seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, and saving energy. When we make decisions such as drinking or not drinking these preferences come into play. The more you can understand and see these preferences in your daily life the more power you can have to over-ride them. We make decisions based on how we think we will feel and we don't like to feel uncomfortable so our preference is to avoid feeling uncomfortable. But when we choose the less uncomfortable way we don't move forward with the way we actually want to live. In this episode, I give you 3 real-life examples of how our innate preference shows up and directs us and how you can over-ride that preference to move towards your goals. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 73, Exactly How I Did It May 20, 2020

I want to explain to you the concepts or truths that changed my life FAST. My friend recently told me that I live in breakthroughs and I know that might not make sense to most people. But a breakthrough is when you recognize your own mental constructs and then you break through them to have new mental constructs that bring you closer to your goals. It really means that you are constantly up-leveling and evolving to the next best version of yourself. And I recognize that over the past 2.5 years I have been constantly and consistently living in breakthroughs. I have completely changed what I thought as possible in my life. My whole internal identity has changed. And it’s now starting to show up visually on the outside. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I would have my own business making multiple six figures -EVER. Just like I never ever thought I would be someone who didn’t drink. Ever. Ever. Ever it wasn’t even an idea. Or that I could have a good relationship with my dad. Or that I could be skinny without much effort. How is all of that possible now, how did I create all of this in just over 2 years? I’m going to tell you. And it’s so important that you actually take notes here and write some stuff down. I’m going to tell you my own thoughts that created everything I have now. You can do this too, I promise.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 72, How to Change Your Relationships to Drink Less May 13, 2020

Relationships are one of our biggest 'triggers' to over-drinking. We get so worked up in our relationships that when we feel frustrated or annoyed or pissed we tend to drink at the end of the day to take the edge off those feelings. I coach women DAILY on relationships and help them see how they are thinking about their relationship that leads to them over-drinking. Work relationships, romantic relationships, parental relationships, kid relationships. We have so many thoughts about how people should behave ESPECIALLY when they do things we don't agree with. When we have these 'should of...' or 'I would NEVER do...' or 'i can't believe they...' thoughts we feel NEGATIVE emotions. And when we feel these high vibration feelings they often drive us to go pour a glass or 4 of wine. What I want you to know is that those thoughts ARE OPTIONAL. If you are judging what they said or did or didn't do it makes YOU feel bad, not them. And then you do things that don't support the life you want to have LIKE OVER-DRINK. You don't have to keep thinking the same old thoughts about people that only HURT YOU. Tune in to this episode and hear real examples of how we can change our relationships so we drink less. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

‘IT DOESN'T MATTER.' Have you had this thought before? It doesn’t matter? Maybe when you say you won’t drink during the week and it’s a Tuesday or maybe when you say you won’t eat after dinner.. 'it doesn’t matter.’ Or maybe you say you want to start exercising 3-4 days a week and it’s the day you planned to go for a run or walk outside and you passively think ‘it doesn’t matter.’ It’s those quick, quiet, whisper thoughts, that can be the most detrimental. It’s not typically the big deeply covered thoughts like ‘i’m not worthy’ that keep us from our goals, it’s the little ‘it doesn’t matter and who cares thoughts that cause the most trouble. Because we think them all the damn time.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 66, Why I Love Helping Women Stop Over-drinking Apr 01, 2020

I was recently asked to explain what I do as if I were talking to a 7-year-old. What a fun assignment. It was so easy to explain:I help women stop over-drinking. They are drinking too much because sometimes they feel stressed about all the things they have to manage like work and then coming home and taking care of the house and cooking and cleaning or sometimes something sad or unexpected happens in their lives and they drink to sort of make themselves feel better. But drinking really doesn't help them feel any better and they know that but they don't know how to feel better on their own so they keep doing it. Right?! Can you relate to this?So, I help them by listening to them and understanding their problems and teach them how to fix it and to not be hard on themselves when they aren't perfect.In adult terms: I help women feel better so they don’t turn to alcohol to help them manage any aspect of their lives. We pivot from using alcohol as a tool to manage our lives to learning how to feel better so we don’t need alcohol.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 48, DESIRE Nov 27, 2019

DESIRE a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. DESIRE shows up in all areas of our lives. We have desire for food, sex, alcohol, to exercise, to want a new job, to want a new mate, to want a new house. It’s important to understand desire especially if you are someone who over-drinks. If you are over-drinking than you have an over-desire for alcohol. Basically you want it too much. And you are the only one that can know if you want it too much. Everyone is different. If you are only drinking one glass of wine a night but really struggle with not doing that then you have over-desire. Over-desire is a desire that is so strong that it drives you to take actions that you really don’t want to be doing. Like over-drinking. Some people have an over-desire for sex or an over-desire to spend money and shop. You know if you have an over-desire if you feel like you can’t control it.This episode I'm discussing how desire is created and how you can create a desire for more healthy things. When you have a strong desire to NOT drink or to exercise that desire over-rides your ideas about not doing it. When you have a desire to be healthy it's not hard. Just like it's not hard to drink. If you can establish a new desire for heathier habits it can be easy too. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

She spoke about massive action and what is required to reach your goals. She asked us to identify in one of two categories: Big Ass Action people or Half Ass Action people. Big ass action people think a little about their goal, and they start thinking about all the things to try and do and planning when they will do it and then they do what they planned. Half ass action people think obsessively about goals, spend a lot of time reading and researching but little time is spent on what they will do or planning what they will do and actually doing it. Tune in to see how you can step into big ass action to reach your goals to stop over-drinking. https://blog.iqmatrix.com/massive-action - Massive Action Blog **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 039, Mastermind Lessons Part 2, Feelings Sep 25, 2019

I learned how an emotion physically can move my body.Just like a baby moves her body when someone she recognizes walks in the room and she gets excited, the baby starts kicking her feet, wiggling her butt, flapping her hands and rocking back and forth.. can you picture this? Anyway, the baby FEELS the emotion of excitement and it’s so intense her body moves. She can't talk but is showing her excitement with her body.Well, as adults we lose this connection with our emotions and our body. We might notice it if we get really angry and feel like throwing something or yelling at our kids or if someone surprises us and we are so happy to see them we might jump up and down with excitement. But these events are so few and far between and we don’t even think about why we are moving we just do.You can learn how an emotion moves your body and when you do this it can catapult you into massive action. **Interested in joining the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living coaching program? click the link below and watch all 3 videos, read through the information and then click >>APPLY

Did you know that you no one can 'give' you power? Power is a feeling, you get to experience based on what you are thinking about any given situation. Often we feel 'powerless' when it comes to alcohol or food or our positions at work, in society as women, in politics, and when there are horrible tragedies in the world. We might think we can't control 'them.' We might think there is 'nothing we can do,' when there is a mass shooting or someone gets elected into a government position. Sometimes we get so upset and enraged about a circumstance, we feel riled up to do something about it, but it causes us a lot of pain and we want to fight for justice. I'm inviting you to come and learn how to generate your own power by listening to an interview I did with Dr. Michelle Morkert.
