You’ve thought about cutting back on drinking.
You’ve Googled it.
You’ve maybe even said, “I should probably do something about this…”

But nothing changes.

This episode is about why.

Because there’s a version of “wanting to change” that isn’t real yet.
And most high-functioning women live there -- thinking about change -- for years.

In this episode, I break down the subtle (and socially acceptable) ways you might be avoiding real change:

  • The constant back-and-forth: “It’s a problem… but it’s fine”
  • Why “I still function” is keeping you stuck
  • The difference between thinking about change vs. actually being ready
  • How your environment quietly reinforces your drinking
  • Why you haven’t really tried yet (and what that actually means)

We also get into the Stages of Change, so you can finally see where you are… and why you feel so stuck!

If you’ve ever thought:
“I know I should change… but I’m not doing anything about it.”

This is the episode for you.

Ready to move out of the ‘thinking about it’ phase?
