12. Why Your Motivation Matters

If your main reason for drinking less is to avoid the shame, hangovers, or health risks... that’s totally understandable—but it might not be enough.

In this episode, I talk about the difference between running away from alcohol and running toward something better—and why your “why” matters more than you think.

You’ll learn:

• why fear-based motivation (like health risks or shame) isn’t enough to create lasting change;
• how your brain weighs short-term relief vs. long-term rewards—and how to tip the balance;
• why you need a compelling, future-focused reason to guide you forward;
• powerful questions to help you define your vision and create a destination worth running toward.

If you’re ready to drink less but not sure how to stay motivated day to day, this episode will help you get clear on what’s waiting for you on the other side of this work.
