Week 3 of Sober October and I'm focusing on anxiety managment this month. It's never lost on me just how ironic it is that we've been conditioned to drink a substance to calm our anxiety that actually raises our anxiety. Stopping drinking can leave us feeling raw and having to face many of the anxieties we've been numbing with alcohol. This episode, I give you several tactics to manage anxiety while not drinking, so you can learn to give your brain and body what they really need.
I love the cultural momentum of Sober October because it's a unique opportunity to reassess our drinking habits. I offer you a fresh perspective on this effort: you don't have to use willpower and feel left out and deprived! You can reframe your mindset and feel like you are gaining rather than missing out. Using this month as an opportunity to explore the narratives that keep us stuck in a drinking cycle is what it's all about. I offer multiple strategies and insights from neuroscience and positive psychology so you can explore how you've been conditioned to drink, and how you can make conscious changes, and embrace an alcohol-free lifestyle, promoting joy, connection, and true potential without the crutch of drinking.

Today I dive into the power of small degrees of change that can lead to monumental transformation. When we approach something like stopping drinking, it can feel overwhelming and not even possible. Yet, there are tactics to get to the root source of change, our thoughts and beliefs. When we examine and break down the subconscious beliefs about alcohol, we ultimately change how we feel and behave with alcohol. This is neuroplasticity and these micro-changes to our thoughts can transform us.
For more support on what's holding you back, get my FREE resource: Breaking Up With Booze where we uncover the beliefs about alcohol keeping you stuck in the drinking cycle so can FINALLY ditch the drink and level up your health in ways you've only imagined!
These are the same exact beliefs that I changed after being a daily drinker for a decade, if I can do it, so can you.

In this episode of Find Myself Free, I explore how to cultivate a mindset that will shift you into a state of readiness to grow. We often look to our external worlds to dictate our readiness, and influence our priorities. I emphasize that we must work from the inside out by shaping our mindset. Summer is often a time when we let old programming of subconscious stories call the shots. As mothers, these stories of self sacrifice and putting other's needs first in order to be a "good Mom" keep us from taking what we need. I advocate for the shaping of your environments, both internal and external, to reshape these stories and open our minds to new possibilities. One of the ways we can do this, is to intentionally surround ourselves with community doing the same thing. I challenge you to find a community, or content or an environment that will shape you and your mindset into creating the life you know you were meant for.
If you're ready to cultivate a mindset of growth and change in your relationship to alcohol, check out my BRAVE course. This is bootcamp for your brain to help you overcome your fears about taking a break from the drinking cycle and level up your health.
For those already alcohol free, I have the BALANCE challenge. This is hormone harmony 101 that will guide you in the adopting foundational strategies to balance your hormones and promote women's overall wellness.
I'm also in the process of creating my next SIGNATURE COURSE (title TBD) but I think it will be called BLISS: Your A-Z blueprint for building a brilliant life beyond alcohol, with balancing hormones and biohacking to achieve optimal health and longevity. If you'd like to support me in creating this course, I need your input! Please book a market research call HERE to help me in creating the BEST course possible. Thank you!

This episode features a profound discussion with Taylor Lechner, who specializes in functional nutrition and women's health, specifically transitioning off of birth control. Taylor shares her story of being put on birth control after her period disappeared at 18 from an undiagnosed eating disorder. Upon learning of the terrible side effects 10 years later, she quit cold turkey and suffered terrible side effects. Her work is now informed by this experience and she aims to help other women better prepare for this transition. She explains the concept of a 'fake cycle' induced by hormonal contraceptives and how they disrupt the body's natural hormone production. Taylor advocates for a root cause approach to hormone health and highlights the empowering potential of cycle syncing, promoting a balanced and holistic lifestyle for women seeking to reclaim their well-being.

In this episode, I do my best to clearly break down the top 6 strategies for managing your perimenopausal health. They are prioritizing your sleep, stress managment, cutting alcohol, becoming aware of your cycle and hormonal needs, nutrition and movement.

They are intertwined and I explain how they impact one another, and how the improvement of one will impact the other. These are the key priorities every woman should be focusing on in her perimenopausal years. I invite my listeners who are motivated and inspired by this episode to join my Balance Challenge. It's only $28 for 28 days of cycle syncing training. Learn all the basics we should've learned as teens, from hormones 101 to the art of cycle syncing to biohacking designed specifically for women.

In this episode I break down the 3 reasons I see cycle syncing as being superior to dieting. I discuss how the mindset of cycle syncing and the language we use while syncing our nutrition is far healthier and motivating than that of dieting. I also detail why it's more effective at acheiving improved health overall, being that it works directly on the hormone system which impacts every other system in our body. Lastly, I cover why the end goal of cycle sycning, to acheive hormone balance, is far better for us than the end goal of being skinny. I invite my listeneners who are motivated and inspired by this episode to join my Balance Challenge. It's only $28 for 28 days of cycle syncing training. Learn all the basics we should've learned as teens, from hormones 101 to the art of cycle syncing to biohacking designed specifically for women.
