Ep 113: Drinking to Numb Your Pain? Here’s the Self-Love Talk No One Gave You with Gina Kunadian

Send us Fan MailIt often begins quietly, the tired heart, the heavy body, the loneliness that no one sees. The pressure, the unspoken trauma, the responsibility that never seems to end. And for so many women, the nightly glass of wine becomes the fastest way to silence what hurts… not because they want to escape life, but because they’ve been surviving it alone.In this episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, we explore a truth many women are living in silence:  Drinking to Numb Your Pain Here’s the Self-Love Talk No One Gave You.Today’s conversation is raw, spiritual, and deeply honest.My guest, Gina Kunadian, is a wife, mother, massage therapist, TEDx speaker, host of the Shine Within Podcast, and a woman who has been sober for over seven years. But her story began in the darkest corners of trauma, addiction, relapse, and a hospital visit that became her divine turning point.Together, we talk about:Why women drink to numb emotional painHow childhood trauma, especially sexual trauma, wires the brain toward coping through substancesThe moment alcohol transforms from “casual” to “dependency”Relapse cycles, functional alcoholism, and why willpower alone doesn’t workThe truth about “entities,” blackout behavior, and spiritual vulnerability during addictionWhat surrender actually looks like — emotionally, physically, and spirituallyHow Gina rebuilt her life, her identity, her femininity, and her faith after hitting rock bottomThe steps women can take if they suspect alcohol is becoming their coping strategyThis episode is not just about addiction.It’s about self-abandonment, self-soothing, spiritual awakening, and the moment a woman finally decides: I’m done breaking myself to survive my life.Follow Gina Kunadian Here!✨ Not sure why you keep choosing pain over peace? Take the free WHY YOU GOT BETRAYED QUIZ and uncover the pattern you didn’t even know was holding you back.If you can’t eat, can’t sleep, and keep replaying the betrayal in your head, this book was written for this exact moment.
