Description

Are you reaching for a drink to relax… or to escape? In this powerful episode of Work It, Live It, Own It!, we dive deep into the emotional triggers behind alcohol use with special guest Gina Kunadian—a TEDx speaker and women’s alcohol-free sobriety coach.


If you’re a high-functioning woman juggling work, caregiving, and endless responsibilities, it’s easy to fall into the pattern of drinking to cope. But what if alcohol isn’t really the problem… and what you’re truly craving is rest, clarity, and connection?


Gina shares her personal journey with alcoholism and recovery, reveals the emotional roots of addiction, and offers practical, judgment-free guidance for women who want to stop numbing and start healing.


In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why high-achieving women often turn to alcohol to escape
  • The emotional pain hiding beneath casual drinking habits
  • Signs you may be numbing out without realizing it
  • What to do instead of reaching for alcohol when you’re overwhelmed
  • Gina’s Transformation SHINE Process to support alcohol-free living
  • How to break the cycle of emotional drinking with compassion, not shame
