Ep 44:Holiday Drinking: Simple Tools to Help You Drink Less

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact strategies I teach my clients when the holidays start holiday-ing a little too hard. Think: bottomless drinks, unending invitations, and that tiny inner voice that whispers, “We’ll deal with this in January.” (Fun fact: "January You" strongly disagrees.) We cover the tools and mindset shifts that help you move through this season with more clarity and less autopilot drinking. These are the same practices my clients use to feel better in their bodies, protect their sleep, stay connected to themselves, and truly enjoy the holidays — without slipping into habits that leave them feeling wiped out or disappointed. Here’s a snapshot of what we explore: • Why the holidays turn so many of us into “default drinkers.” • Why your sleep will thank you for drinking less • The HALT method and how it helps you pause before you pour • My Three P’s: Partner, Plan, Path — a simple strategy that removes pressure at parties • How to enter social events with more confidence and less anxiety Listen for more tools on boundaries, nervous system support, and noticing your patterns with compassion instead of self-judgment. If you enjoy having something festive in your glass, I share one of my favorites: Prima Pavé Blanc de Blancs, an alcohol-free sparkling wine handcrafted in Italy. It comes in a beautiful bottle and feels celebratory without the after-effects. You can find it at BetterRhodes.com. Ready to start 2026 feeling clearer and more grounded?
