EP332 Minisode: Become Your Own Source Of Comfort (So You Don't Need Alcohol)

In this episode, Colleen names something most women have never been taught to do: have a relationship with themselves.
Not self-improvement. Not fixing. Not managing behavior. Actual relationship.
Because when you don't know who you are, what you want, or how to meet your own needs, alcohol steps in and fills that space.
Colleen walks through why so many women reach midlife feeling disconnected, uncertain, and dependent on escape—and how that's not a personal failure, it's conditioning.
You were taught how to be good. You were never taught how to know yourself.
And emotional sobriety isn't just about removing the drink. It's about rebuilding that internal connection so you don't need it.
