Trauma and shame specialist Annalie Howling joins us for a deep and powerful conversation about the role shame plays in our relationship with alcohol, our bodies, and ourselves.

We unpack the shame-catch-22 that so many sober-curious women face:

  • You don’t drink and feel shame because people think you’re “difficult” or “boring"

  • Or you do drink and feel shame for drinking “too much,” saying things you regret, and waking up in a spiral of self-loathing

Annalie breaks down:

  • Where shame comes from

  • Why women carry so much of it

  • How unresolved shame impacts your physical and emotional health

  • The tools and first steps to finally begin healing

If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this episode is for you. It’s validating, empowering, and filled with compassionate, expert guidance.
