Unraveling Identity: Alcohol’s Role in Our Lives

from Smaller Stomach, Bigger Life · host Kyla Holley

Join host Kyla Holley, an experienced eating disorder and bariatric therapist, in this introspective episode of "Change Your Relationship With Food." Kyla candidly explores her personal journey with alcohol, sharing her thoughts and questions about its influence on identity and socialisation. Unlike previous episodes, she admits to having more questions than answers, recalling a pivotal moment six years ago when she questioned the identity attached to women in their 50s and alcohol consumption. With personal anecdotes and research insights, Kyla dives into the societal norms surrounding alcohol and how they shape our behavior and self-image. She reflects on her own habitual drinking, societal expectations, and the memories that fueled her relationship with alcohol, all while acknowledging her ongoing journey to understanding and change. This thought-provoking discussion invites listeners to examine their own relationships with alcohol, offering a platform to consider whether we define our identities through our habits. As Kyla continues to explore these themes, she encourages listeners to think critically about their own life choices and the identities they uphold.
