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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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. Tune in, it's a good one y'all! **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 115, What is Mindset Coaching? Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

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

Show notes

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
