Wondering if your drinking is “bad enough” to have to change? You’re asking the wrong question.

In this episode, we move beyond labels like "alcoholic" or "addict" or "problem drinker" and talk about what really matters: how alcohol impacts your life, your confidence, your relationships, and your goals.

You'll learn a more compassionate, empowering way to evaluate your relationship with alcohol—without judgment, shame, or unnecessary labels.

Inside this episode:

  • why focusing only on "how much" you drink keeps you stuck;
  • how to look at why you drink—and what alcohol costs you;
  • a better question to ask yourself if you're wondering whether it's time to cut back;

Whether you've googled “Am I an alcoholic?” or you’re just starting to question your habits, this conversation will help you get honest with yourself—and start making real change.
