The festive season isn't one massive willpower test—it's death by a thousand shots. With six weeks of relentless celebrations from Thanksgiving through New Year's, willpower alone won't cut it.
In this episode, I unpack why beliefs, not willpower, are the real key to changing your drinking habits.
I share a four-step framework for gathering evidence to challenge limiting beliefs about alcohol, celebrations, and what fun actually means.
From assessing your self-talk to testing new behaviours at family gatherings, this episode gives you practical tools to navigate the season's cumulative exhaustion and build a Christmas that serves you on your own terms, not some outdated template from the past.
