This week on the podcast I'm talking about mindset specifically as it applies to changing your drinking habits. I'm giving specific tips on how to uncover your thoughts and to determine if those thoughts are useful/helpful/true/necessary or kind in terms of helping you take the actions that you need to take to get the results that you want in your life.  If the thoughts create negative feelings that have you wanting to avoid taking action, then those thoughts are not useful to us and we want to start recognizing that and actively choose to redirect our thinking. This is a practice. It's a buildable skillset...AND it's necessary to create sustainable change.

This week on the podcast, I'm talking to Kraig Rovensky from Pathfinder. The Pathfinder is a fermented and distilled hemp-based liquid with the intense flavor and aromatic characteristics of a spirit, with none of the harmful effects of alcoholic beverages. I was drawn to the story of Pathfinder and I know you'll love hearing about this fun brand too!.

This week on the podcast, I'm talking with Celeste Yvonne, all about her book: It's Not About the Wine."In this refreshing, honest take on some of the most pressing concerns for twenty-first-century parents, Yvonne mixes research, cultural references, her own story, and engaging interviews with other moms who sought refuge in wine and found a way out. Drinking to blur the tumultuous days of parenting is a catch-22: it actually keeps us from being present during this precious time. It's Not about the Wine pulls back the veil on what's really plaguing mothers, offers tangible tips for how to lighten your mental load, and paves a path forward for all of us who want to survive and thrive during these weary and wonderful years."Buy It's Not About the Wine.Learn more about Celeste Yvonne and subscribe to her Substack here.
