It's Not About the Alcohol


Sep 30, 2025

Today I’m back with Sunnyside podcast host Mike Hardenbrook for a conversation that pops the hood on why willpower isn’t enough to change your drinking habits.

We talk about what’s really happening in your brain and nervous system when you reach for a drink, why your desire to drink has nothing to do with alcohol. Your body craves relief from stress and anxiety and the pressure of everyday life.  You’ll walk away with the exact, science-backed shifts I teach my clients that make drinking in moderation a natural side effect of feeling more grounded and at ease.

If you’ve ever wondered why wanting to change doesn’t stop you from pouring another drink, this episode will show you how to break the cycle from the inside out.
