Show notes

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

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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
