She shares her journey of overcoming the need for external validation, her connection with essential oils, and how these elements have aided her to discover her most authentic self. Elena's courage and resilience promise to touch your life with potent insights. In a world that's constantly vying for our attention, Elena teaches us the art of attention, and the role of intuition in decision-making.

Today, we uncover the truth about why people struggle to drink less and the underlying beliefs that drive our behaviors. It's not just about sheer willpower; it's about understanding the intricate web of beliefs that lead us to reach for that drink.

Unpacking the Weight of Expectations Have you ever felt the weight of expectations when it comes to drinking? I know I have, and it's a trigger that many of us face. Whether it's about conforming to societal norms or appeasing others, the feeling of being expected to drink can be a significant challenge. Breaking Down Expectations: A New Perspective Examine the idea of expectations. Often, they stem from what's considered "normal." We explore the thought process behind expectations and how they can impact our behavior, both personally and in social settings. Stepping into Empathy: Seeing from the Other's Perspective Ever wondered how others perceive your choices around drinking? I invite you to put yourself in their shoes. Imagine a scenario where someone else's drinking choices differ from what's expected. How would you react? This exercise helps us better understand the dynamics of expectations and judgments. Embracing Authenticity: Rewriting Your Story True authenticity comes when we break free from the confines of expectations. We discuss how rewriting our stories empowers us to show up authentically, no matter the circumstance. It's about releasing the notion that others dictate how we should behave. Manifestation and Energy: Shaping Our Interactions Our energy and beliefs have a profound impact on our interactions with others. We explore how our thoughts and emotions influence how people perceive us and respond to us. It's a reminder that our energy plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences. The Power of Choice: Choosing Our Reactions Ultimately, we have the power to choose our reactions to others' expectations. By focusing on our energy, intentions, and grounded presence, we can navigate situations authentically. It's about freeing ourselves from the constraints of assumed expectations. Embrace Vulnerability: Challenge for the Week As we wrap up this episode, I offer you a challenge: for the upcoming week, pay close attention to situations where you sense expectations from others. Reflect on whether these expectations are truly from them or if they stem from your assumptions. Embrace your vulnerability and authentic self, and observe how your energy transforms the dynamics. Thank you for joining me on this journey of authenticity and self-discovery. Remember, you're not alone in navigating these waters.

Why one and done when it comes to drinking is the dream that leads to deprivation. Unpacking the Why Behind the Dream Why do we yearn for that solitary drink? What is it about that one drink that holds such allure? These questions are where we start our journey. It's not about judging ourselves; it's about understanding our motivations and the stories we tell ourselves. Cue, Craving, Routine, Reward: The Cognitive Model We explore the cognitive model of cue, craving, routine, and reward. We uncover the intricate dance between these elements when it comes to our relationship with alcohol. From the trigger of being out with friends to the release of dopamine in our brains, we unravel the psychology behind our cravings. Why One is Never Enough: Unraveling the Chemical Response Ever wondered why that elusive "one and done" remains out of reach? It's because of the profound chemical responses happening within us. We're demystifying the connection between rewards, dopamine, and our behavior. I invite you to free yourself from any self-judgment and realize that your brain simply associates alcohol with reward. Natural Pleasures vs. Artificial Rewards What about natural pleasures and authentic rewards? We explore the beauty of experiencing wonder, awe, and joy without relying on external substances. From sunsets to laughter with friends, we have countless opportunities to find sustainable, natural rewards that align with our values. Redefining the Reward How do you reshape your reward system? By shifting our focus from the routine of drinking to the genuine connections and experiences, we create a more profound and lasting sense of fulfillment. It's about pausing during cravings, re-routing our associations, and finding alignment with our values. Exploring the Aftermath: The Myth of "One" Ever noticed how that "one" drink never truly satisfies? We dissect the aftermath of that solitary drink, examining the physical and emotional changes within us. We learn that alcohol's effects often lead us feeling worse than before. It's a thought-provoking exploration that encourages us to question the dream of "just one." Your Empowered Choice: Understanding Your Journey Remember that you are on a unique journey. Your relationship with alcohol is yours to define and shape. By understanding the stories we tell ourselves and embracing our powerful intuition, we can make mindful choices aligned with our true desires. You are beautifully powerful and intuitive, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Love, Mary The show today was sponsored by Mary Wagstaff Coaching.

Today, we're diving into the power of befriending boredom. Here's what you can expect from today's episode: **1. Retrospective Planning: Setting Ourselves Up for Success We'll kick things off by exploring the transformative concept of retrospective planning. This technique isn't just about looking back, it's about celebrating wins, identifying what didn't work, and creating a blueprint for future success. I'll share how this approach, which I often use with my clients, applies to all areas of life and helps us navigate challenges with grace. **2. Letting Go of Expectations Expectations can be both our allies and our adversaries. We'll chat about the radical power of releasing expectations, especially when dealing with situations involving others. By focusing on our own actions and responses, we can embrace a neutral perspective that opens the door to a more harmonious existence. **3. Embracing Boredom: A Feminine Approach to Planning Boredom – it's something most of us experience, yet rarely analyze. Today, we'll explore boredom from a fresh perspective, linking it to the feminine approach of planning life. Discover how boredom offers a unique opportunity for self-discovery, dreaming, and tapping into your own worth beyond productivity. **4. Alcohol, Boredom, and Rewiring Emotions We'll look at the intriguing connection between boredom and the desire for alcohol. I'll discuss how alcohol can temporarily mask boredom by altering our thought patterns and triggering pleasure responses. However, true transformation comes from rewiring our emotional responses to circumstances rather than relying on external substances. **5. Unlocking the Potential of Boredom The importance of questioning the thoughts that generate boredom. By reevaluating these thoughts and examining their validity, we can reframe our experience of boredom and recognize it as an opportunity for creativity, relaxation, and personal growth. Join me on this enlightening journey as we explore the depths of boredom, expectations, and the power of introspection.

Today we explore the profound relationship between addiction and the lack of connection. We'll uncover how addiction is all about seeking connection, both externally and internally, and how it stems from a disconnection with our true selves. In this podcast, we'll challenge conventional beliefs about addiction, especially when it comes to alcohol. Let's break free from the stigma and explore the notion that addiction is a product of behavior and beliefs, not a permanent identity. Today you'll discover how connection and self-awareness can lead to lasting change and liberation from alcohol. Here's a glimpse of what we'll explore in this episode: If you're seeking freedom from the narrative of alcohol and a deeper connection with yourself, this podcast is for you. Tune in and get ready to embrace your sober self and reconnect with the most natural part of you beyond the constructs of culture. The show today was sponsored by Mary Wagstaff Coaching.

The wait of alcohol lives in your head, natural sobriety lives in your body...it's your birth-rite. In this episode, I delve into the journey of natural sobriety and the profound impact of reconnecting with our bodies. I discuss how alcohol acts as a dissociative, pulling us away from our body's natural cues and sensations. By embracing natural sobriety, we can uncover the innate wisdom our bodies hold, guiding us towards what truly serves us. I share a personal experience of attuning to my dog's energy, grounding both of us, and experiencing a profound release of neuroses. Through this journey, I invite listeners to explore their body's wisdom, tap into their intuition, and make decisions aligned with their naturally sober selves. Being in the body out of the head. (2:53) How to overcome habits and learn behavior. (4:21) Intentionally softening your heart. (6:38) How to listen to your body’s messages. (9:08) What does it feel like in your body? (14:18) Create an identity for sensation. Ask yourself what does it feel like in your body. The show today was sponsored by Mary Wagstaff Coaching.
