Description

Today, I’m sharing a conversation that first aired on the Sunnyside podcast—home of the #1 mindful drinking app.

I sat down with co-founder and host Mike Hardenbrook to talk about how to change your thinking about drinking so that you can trust yourself with alcohol again. We cover my own personal journey about why I overcorrected my heavy daily drinking with three years of full sobriety, and how I arrived in the balanced, less-is-more life I live now. You’ll hear the exact mental shifts that I teach my high-achieving female clients who want to cut their drinking by up to 80% without shame, rules or life long commitments.

Whether you’re sober-curious or simply tired of promising yourself that you’re going to change and then not following through, this conversation will change how you think about both the problem and the solution. 

Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you’re ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober. Side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking.
