What if your drinking isn’t the problem—but the way you’ve been solving one?

In this eye-opening episode, we flip the script on alcohol and explore why so many smart, sensitive women turn to drinking as a way to cope. From emotional overload to social pressure, we unpack the real reasons behind the habit—and why willpower alone isn’t the answer.

You’ll learn:

• Why alcohol feels like it “works” in the moment

• The hidden problems it’s often masking (hello, anxiety + burnout)

• How cultural conditioning keeps us stuck in the cycle

• Practical tools to meet your needs without the hangover

• The power of reframing drinking through compassion, not shame

This episode is packed with honest truths, gentle mindset shifts, and actionable ways to drink less—without having to quit completely.
