Hi friends! 🌿 I'm back from holidays... sorry for being a bit quiet the last couple of weeks! Ready to get going again! I've got some fun things planned over the next couple of months... think challenges, new tools, and more to help you on this journey. Today’s video I reflex to why alcohol can make us feel like we can't cope with life... when really, that feeling may be the alcohol itself, not us. I break down homeostasis — the body's drive to stay in balance — and how alcohol throws that off, then gets credit for "fixing" discomfort it helped create in the first place. I’d love to hear what resonated for you. Journaling prompts to follow later in the week x
