The hidden costs of alcohol are often where many of your unmet needs live that make you want to drink more, keeping you stuck in a vicious problem/solution cycle.

The good news is, when you actually, start to uncover and meet your needs that appear as problems, the desire for alcohol goes away, AND, Mom's a happy camper. (we all know everyone wins!)

It's totally okay to take sometime on a Friday night for yourself to rest or go for a walk, rather than have a 'party of one", just so you can be home, only to postpone the guilt of not being with the family to the next day because you had a few too many.

These costs affect every area of your life.  Because of the amazing humans we are, our ability to adapt creates a new norm and the impact has become normalized, unrecognized and therefore unexamined.


The fact that you WANT change and you FEEL the imbalance is a great thing! It's telling you: hold on sister, We are NOT done yet.

During the episode, we touch on:

  • The impact of alcohol on our physical health and well-being, including the long-term effects it can have on our bodies.
  • The way alcohol can affect our relationships with loved ones, as well as our ability to form new connections and build strong bonds.
  • The hidden costs of alcohol, such as missed opportunities and unrealized potential, as well as the financial impact it can have.
  • The importance of our relationship with ourselves, and how alcohol can hold us back from achieving our full potential and living our best lives.


By questioning the normalized impacts that alcohol has on your life, you can begin to uncover the areas where you aren't showing up like the creator of literal LIFE that you are. 

Uncover the hidden costs of alcohol and expose the Woman of your dreams...
