    Mindful Drinking, ADHD, and Setting Boundaries: Finding Your Clarity

    Join Coach Kevin, Coach Eric, and Reframer Nirvana: a married mom of four and artist from South Florida who first came to Reframe simply curious about the science of alcohol. This episode explores what happens when awareness, not a rock bottom, becomes the turning point. You'll hear about the heavy mental load of constantly counting drinks versus the freedom of taking things one "let's see" at a time, the fear many creatives carry of making art without alcohol, and how cutting back opens up time, presence, and space for what matters most. The conversation also unpacks boundaries as self-respect, choosing relationships that align with your values, releasing shame, and why navigating change—especially with an ADHD brain—takes structure, community, and doing it your way without doing it alone. The Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the #1 app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol. It uses neuroscience to reframe your relationship with alcohol and unlock the healthiest, happiest you.

    Understanding Cravings, Building Habits & Playing the Long Game

    What does it actually take to change a belief you've held for years — that you need alcohol to unwind, to sleep, to survive a hard day? In this episode, Coach Kevin and Coach Frank sit down with Ray Carroll, a four-year Reframe community member, to explore what happens when education alone isn't enough and why the missing ingredient for so many people is simply asking for help. They dig into the long game of recovery — what to expect when the initial motivation fades, why craving doesn't mean failure no matter how far into the journey you are, and how to build a personal plan that holds up when life punches you in the mouth. The conversation also takes an honest look at journaling — why so many people resist it, how to start small enough that it actually sticks, and why just showing up and writing the date counts. Plus, what it really feels like to share in a meeting for the first time, and why saying "I'm here" is sometimes all you need. If you've been waiting for the dramatic moment where everything clicks — this episode is worth a listen.

    Isolation, Community, and Finding Your Own Way

    Join Coach Kevin and Coach Eric as they sit down with Nadine — a librarian, mom of two, and Reframer with almost two and a half years alcohol-free — as she opens up about the double life she thought only she was living: the master's degree, the great job, the happy family on the outside, and the nightly blackouts no one knew about. Nadine doesn't sugarcoat it, and what comes through is a story about isolation, surrender, and what it actually looks like to change — not perfectly, but for real. The conversation digs into: -Why feeling like the only one is part of how alcohol keeps its grip -The difference between white-knuckling sobriety and actually doing the work -Why your "why" matters more than your method -How showing up in Reframe community meetings can quietly change everything -What it means to do this for yourself, not for anyone else -Why there's no quick fix, and why that's actually okay The Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the #1 app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.

    Shame, Science, and Second Chances: Breaking the Cycle of Trauma & Drinking

    Join Coach Kevin and Coach Frank Spinelli — physician, trauma-informed coach, and Reframer — as Frank opens up about the journey that brought him to Reframe: a childhood trauma buried for decades, a pandemic that unraveled the life he'd carefully rebuilt, and the moment he woke up in his basement not remembering how he'd gotten there. Frank doesn't hold back and what comes through is a story about shame, denial, and what it actually means to want better for yourself. The conversation digs into: - Why knowing better and doing better are two completely different things - How shame works — and what happens when you stop trying to outrun it - The difference between quitting drinking and actually doing the work - Why labeling yourself an alcoholic might be getting in your way - What "transfer addiction" looks like and how to spot it in yourself - The non-binary approach to recovery that's changing how a new generation thinks about alcohol The Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the #1 app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.

    Building Momentum: Burnout, Identity, and Lasting Change

    Join Coach Kevin and Coach Eric Fischer as they sit down with Gina Welch — a  nurse practitioner with 26 years in healthcare, a Reframer (three years alcohol-free) — to talk about identity, escape, and the long work of becoming someone new. They dig into why heavy drinking is rarely about the drink (it's about what the drink lets you not feel), how working in an ER through COVID turned an already-heavy habit into something Gina did to forget every day, and why someone who built her entire life around drinking — the schedule, the friends, the rituals — described herself as "the last person" she'd have imagined giving it up.  The conversation digs into: Why identity matters more than discipline in lasting changeHow to feel feelings instead of escaping themThe "brain ruts" visualization What maintenance looks like three years inAnd the small moments of distraction that change everything The Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the #1 app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.

    Rebuilding from Zero: ADHD, Addiction, and Finding Yourself

    Join Coach Kevin and Eric Fischer as they sit down to talk about identity, addiction, and the slow work of becoming someone new. They dig into why alcohol isn't usually the problem (it's the solution to one), how chronic pain, professional setbacks, and family stress can quietly fuel a drinking problem, and why so many high-achievers don't recognize addiction until it has them by the throat. You'll hear about the late-in-life ADHD diagnosis that changed everything, and why stripping away identity,  even the "alcoholic" label  can be the doorway to becoming someone new. You'll also hear how to navigate social events, travel, and everyday triggers alcohol-free, why "less is more" applies to recovery and daily life, the difference between being consistent and truly persistent, and why starting absurdly small isn't weakness — it's the work. They explore the link between ADHD, impulsivity, and addiction, the neuroscience of rewiring your brain, and the role community and honest self-reflection play in long-term sobriety. If you've ever felt defined by a role, a profession, or a habit you can't seem to shake, this episode is a reminder that your story isn't finished and the next chapter starts with one small honest step.

    Recovery, Community, and Coming Home to Yourself

    Join Coach Kevin and Frank as they sit down with longtime Reframer Max Miller — four and a half years sober, husband, father, and sales professional  to talk about the Sunday morning he decided to stop drinking and the life that followed. They dig into why alcohol isn't usually the problem (it's the solution to one), the science behind why recovery isn't a moral failing, and how shame, isolation, and the "I should be able to do this on my own" mindset keep so many people stuck. You'll also hear how Max navigates work events, business travel, and social situations alcohol-free, why moderation didn't work for him (and what trying it taught him), and the role community, accountability, and leaning into discomfort played in his transformation. If you've ever wondered whether your best days are behind you, this episode is a reminder — they're not.

    Start Small, Stay Connected: Rethinking Alcohol and Change

    Join Kevin with new co-hosts Frank Spinelli and Eric Fischer as they kick off a new chapter of the Reframeable Podcast. In this episode, they share their personal journeys and dive into the realities of behavior change, alcohol, and identity. They explore common misconceptions around addiction, why so many people struggle silently, and how shame and labels can keep us stuck. The conversation highlights the power of community, vulnerability, and realizing you’re not alone. You’ll also hear practical insights on slowing down, pausing instead of reacting, and why small, consistent changes matter more than big, all-or-nothing goals. If you’ve ever felt like you “should be able to figure this out on your own,” this episode is a reminder—you don’t have to.
