Ep. #223 Your bridge to believing something new about alcohol
If believing is seeing that we can create any reality we want.
They say is true with alcohol.
Our perceptions of the world and what it means to drink less are going to have a direct impact on the emotions fueling drinking less.
If we think we are broken, it will be a struggle.
If we think drinking less is a form of empowerment and evolution, an act of feminism,
it will change how we show up for ourselves and creating change.
Getting there can be challenging if you don't have evidence from a first hand lived experience. You need something stronger than a mantra to get you there.

Customer Reviews
She’s inside my brain!
I love how Mary explains why we do somethings and struggle with other things. I especially love how she helps us connect with our bigger life desires. I always find a nugget (or multiples) in every episode. Thanks Mary!
great show
I don't drink at all and that's easy for me. But I still can't lose weight. Can you talk bout that?
Also, can you have Sasha on from
Podcast Community News with Paul
and Sasha? She talks about all this stuff too all the time. Would love to hear your thoughts together.
Such An Important Message!
Mary’s podcast is so needed in our alcohol-fueled world. Women need to know that it’s ok to take a look at their relationship with alcohol and decide if it’s something they *really* want to keep in their life or not. Mary offers such a valuable perspective shift of empowerment rather than deprivation. This podcast supported me when I decided to stop drinking for good a little over a year ago, and I haven’t looked back. Being alcohol free is the BEST gift I have given myself.
