Episode 281: Wine, Stress, Food, Busyness… Avoidance Nearly Broke Me

from I’m Done! Now What? · host Jessica Cooke

Are you pouring a glass of wine, reaching for food, or keeping yourself endlessly busy just to cope? I know what that feels like, because I did it too. Wine to switch off, food for comfort, busyness to avoid slowing down. I thought I was protecting myself from stress — but in reality, I was avoiding the deeper pain underneath. And it nearly broke me. Here are 3 reasons to tune in: Discover the hidden ways avoidance might be showing up in your own life (without you even realising). Learn the real cost of numbing with wine, food, or busyness — and why it keeps you stuck. Hear what happened when I stopped running from stress and started facing it — and how you can do the same. Avoidance feels easier in the short term, but it always comes at a high price. This episode will help you see what it might be costing you — and what’s possible when you choose a different way. Click play and let’s dive in.
