205 - Sober-ish: How to Change Our Thinking About Drinking with Colleen Kachmann

For years, I was convinced that my happy hour cocktail was what I needed to take the edge off a long day.  I thought my glass of cabernet in the evening helped me get a good night’s sleep.     But as I learned about the nervous system, I realized that a lot of what I believed about alcohol simply wasn’t true.   In today’s episode, Colleen Kachmann, a Sober-ish Master Recovery Coach, reminds us that it’s never really about the alcohol.  It’s about our ability to manage our mind and take care of our body.     Through her transformative strategies for emotional sobriety, Colleen guides us to embrace our inner strength, feel secure in ourselves, and trust our intuition.   Ultimately, she invites us to explore how to feel safe with ourselves - with or without a drink in hand.   Three things you’ll learn in this episode: How alcohol actually affects our brain, body, and nervous system How emotional sobriety equips us to deal with life as it is, rather than how we think it should be Why emotional disconnect is the root cause of brain fog, uncertainty, & lack of focus To connect with Colleen, head to: IG: @recoverwithcolleen Website - Recover With Colleen It's Not About The Alcohol Podcast   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!   ASK MICHELLE A QUESTION!   REGULATION RESOURCES   BOOK A FREE 30-MINUTE CALL WITH MICHELLE   FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective   JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!
