EP315 What I do the morning after I drink too much

I woke up a little hungover this morning. I had a third glass of wine I didn't need. And instead of spiraling into shame, I did what I always do now—I grabbed my journal and got curious.
In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly what I do the morning after I drink too much. The four mindset tools that set me up to learn instead of spiral into shame. The journaling framework I use to extract the lesson. And what I discovered about why my mind and body were out of sync.
But I'm also being honest: this process only works if you're in a certain place in your journey. If shame and frustration are still running the show, this episode might feel overwhelming. If that's you, I'll explain what to do instead.
What I cover:
→ Why another drink feels like a good idea when your nervous system is stressed
→ The four mindset tools you need to expand your perspective so you can extract a valuable lesson
→ How to tell the difference between your conscious intentions and subconscious habits
→ Why willpower doesn't work when you're dysregulated
→ What to do if this process feels impossible (you've got to clear the shame first)
→ The four phases of this journey and how to know where you are
This episode is for you if:
You tend to overdrink and you're tired of the shame spiral
You want to actually learn from your mistakes so you can stop repeating them
You're curious about what it looks like to change your drinking without white-knuckling
You want to understand why some approaches work for some people and not others
You're ready to figure out where you are in your journey and what you actually need
