"Am I Drinking Too Much?" (The Stages of Change Gray Area Drinkers Need to Hear) | Ep.9

"Why am I drinking more than I used to? Why do I keep saying I'll cut back and then I don't?" If those questions have been quietly circling in the back of your mind, this is the episode that's going to meet you exactly where you are.Kari walks through the Transtheoretical Model of Change, the psychological framework that shows you exactly which stage you're in right now and why every single one of them matters. She shares the three "seeds" that were planted in her own life before she ever quit drinking, what cognitive dissonance actually is and why the discomfort you're feeling is a sign your values are working, and the honest truth about why "I'm not ready yet" might be the most important thing you've ever said to yourself.This isn't about pressure. It's about permission. Permission to stop thinking you should already be further along, and to trust that the process you're in is already doing its work.READY TO GO DEEPER?Book a Call with Kari:https://calendly.com/karischwear/45minVisit the Website:https://www.graytonic.com/CONNECT WITH KARILinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karischwear/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyondthegray.podcast/
