Back to Episodes032 High-Functioning, Quietly Struggling: The Truth About Alcohol & Women’s Inner Lives
Description
This conversation is for high-functioning, thoughtful, ambitious women who are quietly questioning their relationship with alcohol.
You don’t have to hit rock bottom to decide alcohol is holding you back.
In this episode, I’m joined by sobriety coach and author Lauren Fay to talk about gray area drinking, moderation vs abstinence, and what it really means to change your relationship with alcohol — without shame, labels, or rigid rules.
We explore:
• High-functioning women and hidden alcohol struggles
• The exhausting start-stop cycle of moderation
• Drinking culture and the fear of not belonging
• Shame vs guilt in sobriety
• Nervous system awareness and addiction
• Self-love and alcohol-free living
• Radical honesty and personal inventory
• Reclaiming your power from alcohol
If you’ve ever wondered whether alcohol is quietly draining your energy, dimming your clarity, or keeping you stuck — this episode will help you explore what’s possible on the other side.
You don’t need a crisis to choose something different.
Curiosity is enough.
