About this episode

The episode discusses the role of alcohol in people's lives and how to reflect on its impact with guest Austin Karr.

A lot of people know alcohol is taking up too much space long before they do anything about it. It might be the drink after work, the second drink that wasn't planned, the weekend rule that keeps bending, or the feeling that alcohol is doing more emotional work than they want it to. In this episode, I'm joined by alcohol coach Austin Karr, founder of 100 Days, to talk about one of the most useful questions you can ask about drinking: not just "How much am I drinking?" but "What job am I asking alcohol to do?" We also talk about why people wait years before getting support, how all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck, why 100 days can create space for change, and how small wins rebuild self-trust.
