Episode 31: Is It Really Failure? Or Just Fear Talking?

The fear of failing. The internal voice that asks over and over -  What if I try again and I still can't do it?  In this episode, Lindsay Hennekey discusses the challenges and fears associated with quitting drinking, particularly for high-achieving women. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the biological basis of fear, the messy nature of the sobriety journey, and the need for self-compassion. Through personal stories and practical advice, Lindsay encourages listeners to embrace their journey, recognize their progress, and take actionable steps towards building resilience and breaking patterns of behavior related to alcohol consumption.Resources + Mentions From This Episode:A Happier Hour by Rebecca Weller Book Your Free Discovery Call with LindsayMessy Midlife: Honest conversations about hormones, identity, and change.Three naturopathic doctors.
