| 10/13/26 | 490: When no one is pressuring you to drink, but you feel pressured anyway | Have you ever felt pressured to drink even when no one was actually pressuring you? Maybe you order a glass of wine because everyone else is drinking, or you say yes to another round because you don't want to deal with questions about why you're stopping. No one is telling you what to do, and yet saying no still feels surprisingly difficult. This week, we're exploring why you can feel pressured to drink even when that pressure isn't coming directly from anyone around you. There's often more influencing your decisions than you realize, and some of it starts happening before you even arrive at the party, restaurant, or social gathering. Understanding these invisible influences can help explain why drinking sometimes feels like the easier choice.

Take a Break with Master Certified Coach Rachel Hart offers a radically different approach to changing your relationship with alcohol. Where alcohol isn't demonized and you're not constantly reminded of all the reasons drinking is bad for you. Instead, you'll learn how alcohol, your brain, and behavior change actually work together and get practical tools to change your drinking in a way that works for you. | 14m 25s | ||||||
| 10/6/26 | 489: Sticking to my goal of one drink [Listener Q&A] | Setting a goal to have just one drink can feel simple enough when you make the decision ahead of time. But then you finish that drink, you want another, everyone around you is still drinking, and suddenly all the reasons you had for stopping at one don't feel nearly as convincing. This week, I'm answering a listener question about how to stick to your goal of one drink when the alcohol is flowing. Most of us put all our attention on the number and assume following through comes down to discipline or willpower. But there's another part of the plan that's easy to overlook, and it can make all the difference when it's time to stop.

| 9/29/26 | 488: Why do I drink even when I don't enjoy it? [Listener Q&A] | It can be incredibly confusing to keep reaching for a drink when you're not even enjoying it that much. Maybe it doesn't taste as good as you expected, the buzz isn't delivering what you imagined, or you find yourself pouring another while wondering why you're doing it at all. This week, I'm answering a listener question about why we continue drinking when part of us doesn't even want it. We'll explore why focusing on everything you dislike about drinking may not give you the answers you're looking for, and why there's another side of the equation that's easy to overlook.

| 9/22/26 | 487: When you're trying to drink less but surrounded by temptation | Being surrounded by alcohol can make drinking less feel almost impossible. When your partner drinks, your friends want another round, or so much of your social life revolves around alcohol, it's easy to believe you'd have more success if you could just get rid of the temptation. This week, we're exploring why changing your environment can be helpful without making it responsible for your success. Avoiding certain situations may give you some much-needed breathing room, but believing you can only succeed when temptation disappears can create a different problem, especially when alcohol inevitably shows up again.

| 9/15/26 | 486: Using the people you love as motivation to drink less | Wanting to drink less for the people you love can feel like powerful motivation. Maybe you want to be a better parent, a more present partner, or simply stop giving the people closest to you a reason to worry. But relying too heavily on those reasons can create a problem you might not see coming. Tune in this week to discover why doing this work for the people you love can sometimes backfire. You'll learn how an invisible scorecard can start influencing your decisions, why resentment can make giving in suddenly feel more appealing, and how to find reasons for changing your drinking that remain compelling no matter what the people around you are doing.

| 9/8/26 | 485: How Under-Fueling Leads to Drinking More | That mid-afternoon or end-of-day craving for a drink can feel incredibly predictable. Maybe you assume your brain has simply learned that this is when you drink, but what if there's something else turning up the volume on your desire for alcohol? This week, we're exploring the connection between under-fueling and drinking more. What if some of the signals you interpret as wanting a drink are tangled up with something happening in your body? And what if years of rules about when, what, and how much you should eat have made that connection harder to recognize?

| 9/1/26 | 484: When family members don't support your decision to drink less | When family members don't understand your decision to drink less or stop drinking, their disapproval can feel especially difficult to shake. You may know that you're making the right choice for you and still find yourself wishing they would understand, accept it, or simply stop commenting on it. This week, we're exploring why a family member's reaction can feel so much more charged than someone else disagreeing with your choices. What if their judgment doesn't mean quite what your brain thinks it means? And what might become possible if you stopped trying to get them to understand your decision?

| 8/25/26 | 483: Why can't I just have one drink and be satisfied? | Having one drink can seem like the obvious way to satisfy a craving. You scratch the itch, your brain gets what it wants, and then you move on. Except sometimes having one drink seems to do the exact opposite, and suddenly you want another, and then another. This week, we're exploring why satisfying a desire doesn't always make that desire disappear. What if wanting more after that first drink doesn't mean you haven't had enough? And what if it also doesn't mean you can't trust yourself to have that first drink in the first place?

| 8/18/26 | 482: When people want you to drink less—but don't want you to stop | Sometimes the same person who worries about how much you drink can turn around and feel uncomfortable when you decide not to drink at all. It can feel contradictory, frustrating, and even unsupportive, especially when you're still trying to figure out what you want your own relationship with alcohol to look like.

| 8/11/26 | 481: Wanting to prove you can drink less | So many people say they just want to drink normally or stop after a couple of drinks. But beneath that goal, there can be something much bigger driving the desire to prove you can handle alcohol. This week, we're exploring why the desire to prove you can drink less deserves a closer look. What if the pressure you're putting on yourself isn't actually helping you change?

| 8/4/26 | 480: Tolerating the discomfort of not having another drink | It might feel like the hardest part of drinking less is forcing yourself to stop, but what if the discomfort isn't coming from wanting more at all? This week, we're taking a closer look at what really happens in the moment you decide not to have another drink. You'll discover why wanting and liking aren't the same thing, why pleasure naturally fades whether you keep drinking or not, and how your brain's running commentary can trick you into believing that stopping is what feels so uncomfortable.

In this episode, we're exploring why the idea that you need to "get back on track" after drinking too much may actually be keeping you trapped in the same cycle.

| 5/12/26 | 468: No one will know if I drink [Thought Swap] | Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "No one will know if I drink"? It can feel like a harmless solution in the moment, especially when no one is watching and there's no immediate judgment to manage. But the truth is this thought often creates the illusion of freedom while quietly reinforcing a deeper cycle of secrecy, shame, and disconnection. In this Thought Swap episode, we're unpacking the hidden logic behind "No one will know if I drink." You'll learn three practical thought swaps to question the belief that secrecy solves the problem, why hiding creates more mental and emotional burden, and how bringing curiosity to these moments can help you build a more honest and empowered relationship with yourself.

| 5/5/26 | 467: I deserve a drink [Thought Swap] | How often do you catch yourself thinking, "I deserve a drink"? After a hard day, a stressful week, or when life feels especially overwhelming, this thought sounds completely reasonable. It feels earned, like the drink is a reward you're owed. However, this common justification might be revealing something much deeper about your unmet needs and daily patterns. Tune in this week to hear the hidden assumptions behind the thought, "I deserve a drink," and why it becomes such a powerful loop. You'll learn why this excuse often signals burnout or unmet emotional needs, and three thought swaps that will help you build a more intentional relationship with pleasure, reward, and alcohol.

| 4/28/26 | 466: Why Focusing on Regrets Won't Help You Drink Less | You know that feeling the morning after you drank too much? Have you ever thought to yourself, "I just don't want to feel this way again"? Regret and guilt can feel like powerful motivators to stop drinking, but the truth is, focusing on what you don't want can actually keep you stuck in the same cycle. If you've ever promised to stop drinking after a rough night, only to repeat the same pattern, this episode is for you. Tune in this week to understand the problem with using regret as motivation to drink less. You'll learn why identity-based motivation is a more effective approach than relying on regret, how to shift from a focus on "what you don't want" to "who you want to become," and how understanding your drink archetypes can provide the clarity and direction needed to make lasting change.
