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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 150, Focusing on the Wrong Thing Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

In this episode I explore why focusing on just cutting back on alcohol doesn't help you permanently stop over-drinking. 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. Your thoughts and emotions don't need to be shut off so you can relax and unwind. We want to understand what is happening in your mind that you feel the need to escape from it. Tune in this week and hear me explore getting to the root of why we over-drink. I am now accepting applications to my revamped coaching program, Stop Over-drinking and Start Living.

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 149, Doing It Later Nov 04, 2021

Show notes

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. Tune in and hear some tips in how you can over-ride this 'doing it later' mindset so you can make real progress towards your goals NOW!

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

Show notes

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? Tune in and hear how the IDEA and being just willing to let it go can open it all up for you.

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

Show notes

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. The Stop Over-drinking and Start Living Coaching Program is getting a serious GLOWUP!Get your name on the list to hear about SODSL Program 2.0:https://www.angelamascenik.com/program-2-0
