37. AF Stories: Sober Curious with Heather
Today I’m talking with my friend Heather, who approached her issues with alcohol in a creative and different way. She took a break and then successfully added alcohol back in, in an intentional way, and now she has a positive relationship with her drinking.
We talk about Heather’s story, what (and who!) helped her along the way and her advice for people who are just getting started.
You can find Heather on Instagram here.

36. Your Drinking Does Not Make You A Bad Person
Have you ever had the thought that you’re a terrible person because of the way you drink?
I hear that.
I used to think that about myself.
In this week’s episode, I am taking a deep dive into the reasons why we equate our drinking with our morality - even though the science says otherwise.
And, more importantly, what you can do to start to make a shift.

Reacting
Avoiding
Resisting
Allowing
Are all discussed in the (rather uncomfortable) analogy of being at the dentist and getting a root canal.

33. Why Resting Feels Terrible
Why does it feel so terrible when we try to rest?
And by rest, we mean ACTUALLY resting.
Not scrolling social media.
Not watching TV or snacking.
Not reading or catching up on work emails.
Just sitting and doing nothing.
We know it's important for our health and especially our nervous system.
But why does it feel so bad when we try to do it?
In this week’s episode, we talk all about why that is and what to do about it.
