Naked Life Story - Is the Illusion of Control Costing You Your Freedom? | EP 731

Are you really in control of your relationship with alcohol or is it just an illusion? From crushing it in the corporate world to managing life as a working mom, drinking helped Jenn M. wind down, meet new people, and belong in social circles. Alcohol helped her be the best version of herself, and she had it under control. Or so she thought. Over time, as she noticed the effects of alcohol on her mind and body, she began to question her relationship with it. She struggled to draw the line, but it wasn’t until she read This Naked Mind that she could really see alcohol for what it was. Now finally free, she has started to focus on creating a life she doesn’t want to escape from. In this episode, Jenn takes us through her journey of ups and downs with alcohol, from immersing herself in “mommy wine” culture to navigating major life stressors. In this episode, Annie and Jenn will discuss: - Why Jenn initially believed alcohol was making her successful - Jenn’s struggle to reconcile her success with her drinking habits - How the illusion of control over her drinking kept her stuck - The early warning signs alcohol was taking a toll on her health - How Jenn struggled to draw the line with her drinking - The pivotal moments that made Jenn question her drinking habits - The perception that drinking was cool in the 1980s - How feeling like she didn’t belong in her family drew her to alcohol - The family secret that exposed the true nature of her relationship with alcohol - Jenn’s experience navigating “mommy wine” culture - The struggles of going alcohol-free during vacations and social events - How she discovered This Naked Mind - Alcohol numbing the “real” fun - And other topics… Related Episodes: EP 457: Naked Life Story – Zac: https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-457-naked-life-story-zac/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?
