How can you overcome the belief that you are weak if you can't control your drinking? This week's episode features two powerful coaching sessions with Coach Hayley and Coach Soraya. In Coach Soraya’s session, Samantha shares her frustration with feeling stagnant, as she struggles to make progress and commit to an alcohol-free break, especially with a husband whose drinking is a constant presence. Coach Haley and Thomas discuss his battle with a persistent inner conflict—should he keep drinking less, or is it time to make a commitment to stop drinking for good? This leads to an insightful discussion about the stigma of weakness and the true nature of alcohol. Both coaches offer a fresh perspective, encouraging Thomas and Samantha to embrace self-compassion and emotional awareness over self-blame.

What if the first real step toward change isn’t putting down the drink, but learning to listen to yourself? What if the key to breaking free has less to do with willpower, and more to do with compassion, curiosity, and connection? In this powerful conversation, Coach Pam is joined by Coaches Kath and Soraya to explore two very different alcohol journeys that led to the same realization: you don’t have to hit rock bottom to know that something needs to shift. For both women, the breakthrough came not in a single dramatic moment—but in a growing awareness that their drinking didn’t match their values or the life they truly wanted to live. Through their work in The Path, they’ve helped hundreds of people learn how to feel their feelings, rewrite their limiting beliefs, and discover how to show up for yourself and stop drinking—in a way that feels empowering, not punishing. If you’ve ever felt like your struggle “doesn’t count” or you’re just not sure if you deserve support, this episode will change the conversation. In this episode, Coach Kath and Coach Pam discuss: Why a problematic relationship with alcohol doesn’t always look “bad” What changed when Kath stopped comparing herself to others The importance of community in shifting from shame to empowermentHow to trust your inner voice when it says something isn’t right Why coaching isn’t about giving advice—it’s about holding space How to show up for yourself and stop drinking—even if you’ve tried before …and more In this episode, Coach Soraya and Coach Pam discuss: How early rehab and AA shaped (and complicated) her beliefs The game-changing moment when she asked, “What if I’m not broken?” The power of recognizing that you’ve been showing up all along How to feel your feelings instead of drinking them away Why success is simply raising your hand and taking back the driver’s seat How to show up for yourself and stop drinking by reclaiming your worth …and more Coach Kath is a Certified This Naked Mind Coach and ALPC who supports single parents and busy professionals in breaking free from alcohol. She once used wine to cope with stress, until she realized it was quietly draining her joy. In 2021, she quit drinking and found lasting change through the This Naked Mind approach.

Thank you Jamie! Thank you Annie! Jamie"s story was the missing link for me to feel part of "TNM" community. while I am eternally grateful for TNM & have thus far have been successfully AF, I felt like my story was to different from the other people in the community to really participate. I don't feel like maybe I'm in the wrong place anymore! #nopinkcloud. #highfunctioningwhiledrinking&depressed

Please stop confusing alcohol as a CNS depressant with depression as a common mental illness. It's like saying it's a depressant so it presses down on a button.
