Why Your Drinking Habits Aren’t the Problem — Your Mindset Might Be (Part 2 of 3)

In part two of my conversation with Jessica Tanir, we go beyond alcohol itself and into the deeper mindset patterns that often drive our habits.We talk about what happened after Jessica first took a break from drinking, why she eventually chose to continue living alcohol-free, and how easy it is for labels like “sober,” “drinker,” or even “problem drinker” to become part of someone’s identity.This episode is a powerful reminder that your drinking habits are rarely just about alcohol. They’re often connected to self-worth, people pleasing, negative self-talk, pressure, perfectionism, and the way you see yourself.Jessica and I also talk about why so many women are disconnected from themselves, how productivity culture keeps us stuck in cycles of stress and overconsumption, and why real change starts with awareness and self-respect — not shame.If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of overthinking, starting over, beating yourself up, or feeling like you “failed,” this episode is for you.In this episode, we cover:What happened after Jessica’s first sober experimentWhy labeling yourself can backfireThe problem with making sobriety or drinking your identityWhy mindset matters more than willpowerThe connection between alcohol and self-worthPeople pleasing, perfectionism, and negative self-talkWhy so many women struggle to truly connect with themselvesProductivity culture and the pressure to always be doing moreWork With MeIf you’re ready to:Drink less without giving it up entirelyBreak the all-or-nothing cycleRegulate your nervous systemBuild confidence without alcoholCome join me inside ShameOver.
