In this feisty episode of Recovering from Everything, Kinga talks about one of the biggest themes inside her women’s programs:

What happens when alcohol stops being the main character… and you’re left alone with yourself?

This episode explores:


• why so many high-functioning women struggle to answer “how are you feeling?”
• emotional disconnection and performance exhaustion
• why women often feel intimidated by quiet nights without alcohol
• how alcohol becomes relief, comfort, permission, and escape
• the “excavation process” of actually getting to know yourself
• hobbies, identity, boredom, rest, resentment, and nervous system overload
• why focusing ONLY on alcohol keeps women stuck

Kinga also talks about:


🍋 perimenopause chaos
🍷 why she’s sick of women obsessing over “rules” around alcohol
🥁 taking up drumming in early sobriety
🪴 her former wine crate turned plant stand
💀 dissociating through busyness and pretending it’s productivity

This episode is honest, funny, psychological, and deeply validating for women who are exhausted from constantly thinking about drinking.
