These days, his music has evolved into sound healing and meditative sound baths – a natural extension of his ambient, atmospheric style, offering grounding sonic experiences that align beautifully with his recovery journey.STATiC also mentors at-risk youth through Road Recovery in NYC, works as an artist performance coach, and continues to share his voice across the recovery and mental health space through podcasts, public speaking, and community support.

Today we talk with Jes Patten.  Jes is a wife, mother, and account manager at a brokerage firm living outside Pittsburgh, PA.  She shares with us today about loss and using substances to cope.  A seed was planted in 2020 that made her realize both weed and alcohol were a major issue for her and she spent the remainder of that year in denial.  In 2021 she became curious about addressing this in her life but it wasn’t until November of 2021 that she had her final blackout that really scared her into making a change.  She found Reframe and had some success with both alcohol and marijuana until April 2022 on vacation when that voice came back to try it again and then the roller coaster began until in late 2022 when she renewed her commitment to being alcohol free and this year in 2023 has been successfully alcohol-free and marijuana free.IG:@jespatten23@gratefulgrowthlifeThe Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the number one iOS and Android app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.

Steph is joined by fellow Reframer Marissa Charest today on the podcast. Marissa joined Reframe in December 2022 and says her life has been completely transformed since. Marissa started on the Cutback track, but within 48 hours realized she wanted to switch to the AF track where she made it 19 days, followed by drinking on vacation, she struggled all thru January and February of this to make the decision within herself to be done.February 27th was Marissa’s last day 1 and 20-something days later, she traveled to Kentucky to spend a weekend with her new Reframe besties while having one of the best experiences imaginable. That trip solidified Marissa’s decision to be done with alcohol for good, and yet she still takes it one day at a time.Marissa and Steph talk about the importance of accountability and community while navigating an alcohol-free lifestyle and she provided some really helpful tips for you, dear listener, to form your own supportive group of like-minded folks. Marissa also talked about traveling alcohol-free, phantom thoughts - her term for when her brain thinks “i could sneak that drink” even though she doesn’t want to, and a surprising moment when her husband, who doesn’t struggle with alcohol, got a taste of what a trigger was like.Marissa’s advice to anyone confused or curious or considering going alcohol free: it’s not a cake walk, or a diamond encrusted life over here... but it’s worth every single MF second of the work.

Today, Steph and Kevin talk about how to maintain healthy rituals and routines when your schedule gets bonkers.  Heading into the holiday season it can be easier to say “screw it, I’ll start over in January”, but what if you went into the holiday season feeling your best, physically, mentally, and emotionally? Having the capacity to handle holiday parties, kids off of school, the excitement and bustle of the season, and more?

Today Kevin chats with Maria who is a fellow Reframer and a university professor in Kinesiology who has worked with people with degenerative diseases for 15 years. Maria says she has had a dysfunctional relationship with alcohol for a great deal of that time. In January 2022, they broke up when she joined Reframe. Then got back together about 9 months later when I dabbled (heavily at times) on and off until May 30, 2023. This time around is different because she says she has leaned into the Reframe community, made some amazing friendships, and worked with the amazing coaches. At first, she wanted to be able to do it on her own and it became apparent that she needed more than just daily readings and tracking her non-drinking days to be successful.She used alcohol as an escape from things like grief and burnout. It took reevaluating what she was doing in her professional life to address burnout and turn more towards healthier coping mechanisms to deal with that grief. She has always been an athletic person and identifies as a runner but really any sort of long distance adventure in nature is where she thrives and feels most at peace. She’s biked across the country, run multiple ultra marathons, and started outrigger paddling this year. She has found community in Reframe and also in the sports that she has grown to love.The Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the number one iOS and Android app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.

In today's episode we talk with Steph Prangley. Steph is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Recovery Coach living with her husband, 3 dogs, and too many houseplants in Greenville, SC. She runs The Sober Rebellion, a virtual private practice helping clients use nutrition and functional wellness practices to enhance recovery efforts, repair their body from the damage done with long-term alcohol use, and address underlying conditions that often overlap with chronic alcohol use.More than a nutrition practice, The Sober Rebellion is about helping people feel their best in the holistic sense, so they can let go of external expectations in a world telling them “you’re not enough” and “you come last”. Clients learn to live a fulfilling life with passion, purpose, and permission to rest, fueled by restoring physical and emotional health and getting in alignment with values. Steph’s story is deeply rooted in a history of high-achieving perfectionism and self-sabotage cycle. In her 20s and 30s, she escaped feelings of low self-worth by overworking and disordered eating. In her late-30s, she began healing her relationship with work, food, and her body, but developed a disordered relationship with alcohol instead.Steph has found freedom from alcohol, work addiction, and disordered eating by addressing her chronic health conditions and feelings of low self-worth. She loves serving her community and is passionate about using her training, experience, and education to serve people healing their relationship with alcohol.

In today’s episode we're going to do something slightly different and that is to answer a question sent by one of our Reframe users.  This question is related to ideas on resisting the urge for the post-work drink as well as dealing with the temptation to stock up on alcohol when you're at the grocery store.  I wanted to share some ideas and tools we can use to get through these situations.  I am going to broaden it a little bit as well and just answer the general question of ways to get through a craving, whether after work, on a day off, or just any time we may have an urge to grab a drink when we don’t want to. Some Tools We Discuss:H.A.L.T. (3:00)T.I.P.P. (4:30)Playing the Tape Forward (8:20)Urge Surfing (9:50)This week's journal prompt (13:30) - Write down all the ideas you had while listening today that you want to try out.  Also, write down any tools you use now.  Which one’s work best, and why? Keep this list handy and add to it as you continue to work on yourself.

In this episode we look at challenging what's "normal" when it comes to alcohol in our life and work to push back on society's norms and expectations surrounding it on our alcohol-free or cutback journey.  This week's journal prompt - Write down your thoughts on this once you listen to the episode. What do I want my normal to look like? Take away any excuses, reservations, etc. and just ask yourself "What do I want my normal to look like?" What's optimal for you? What's ideal? Frame it however you want, but think about it. Journal on it. What do I want my normal to look like? 

In today’s episode we talk with Heidi Blair.  Heidi is a Certified Professional Co-Active coach who has also furthered her training with an extensive mentorship program led by Marion Franklin, Master Certified Coach, and author of “The Heart of Laser Focused Coaching” where she learned to readily identify the client’s underlying root cause of established behaviors, patterns and habits. She started her own Reframe journey in 2021 on the Cut Back Track and through using the app, attending meetings and working with a coach, she created a successful cut back approach which she now employs as a coaching modality for those who want to change their relationship with alcohol, whether they are wanting to cut back, go alcohol free, or have yet to determine which track is right for them. As a moderator here at Reframe she leads many meetings each week, where she offers a heart based, compassionate approach to coach participants who may be stuck, struggling or simply in need of being seen, and have reflected back to them who they truly are.In this episode we talk about:Heidi's cutback pathTips for a successful cutback journeyThe importance of supportYou can find Heidi on the Reframe app and: Instagram: @livemoredrinkless Facebook: @heidiblaircoachingThis podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the number one iOS app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.

In this episode we focus on how we can look at goals differently and focus more on building systems in our lives that can be the foundation of our success.  We talk about using SMARTer, short-term goals to help us better improve our systems and make lasting change while tempering any unrealistic expectations and comparisons we may have.This week's homework - Write down your own SMART goal (make it Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Based) in one area of your life for something you want to achieve.  Then take a look at and journal about what it will take to build a system (i.e., daily habits and routines) and shift your identity to someone who can achieve this goal.  Then pick one of these routines and start implementing it this week consistently and build from there. 

In today’s episode we talk with Jessica Dueñas from Bottomless to Sober.com.  Jessica shares her story of addiction, recovery, and using her voice to help people find their way out of pain. Jessica’s disordered behaviors started with binge eating in her bedroom to cope with the pressures of being an Afro-Latina girl growing up in New York City. By the time she got to college, her addiction had morphed into alcohol use disorder. Years later, she was awarded Teacher of the Year in Kentucky but was still drinking a fifth of bourbon a day – a secret she had to hide from her peers, friends, and students. Ultimately, she found recovery and has been sober since November 2020 and her recovery starts in Twelve Steps spaces and eventually branches out to other self-development work.Jessica has shared her story on platforms such as NPR, Red Table Talk, and most recently, CBS to help break the stigma of addiction and mental health treatment. Through her platform, she shares other stories of people’s recovery, continues to break the stigma of addiction, and coaches individuals who also need private support in their healing journeys. She’s also the host of Reframe’s Book Club meetings and the community meeting for those in their 30’s and 40’s on Monday nights in the app!In this episode we talk about:Wanting vs. WillingTaking away other people’s power over me by recovering out loudWhere to start cutting back or cutting outWebsite: https://https://www.bottomlesstosober.comIG: @JessicaDueñas24This podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the number one iOS app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.

In this episode we take a look at the habit loop as discussed in books like The Power of Habit (Charles Duhigg) and Atomic Habits (James Clear) and identify where and how this shows up in our life related to alcohol and how we can work to change our automatic responses that have built up over time.This week's homework - Start your own habit log in your phone or on paper and identify when a craving for alcohol (or anything else for that matter) might show up and what was the cue that started this thought. Then look at what reward your body/mind is searching for in that moment and 5 ways you can achieve it without alcohol. Repeat this process for at least the next week to become aware of how these thoughts show up and build up new tools to help you on your journey.

Today we talk with Vedant Pradeep, co-founder and CEO of Reframe.

In this episode we think about how we can control the way we present this change in our life to other people by focusing on the positives that come from removing or reducing alcohol and away from a mindset of deprivation or loss. Let's also think about labels and words that hold us back and those that help us explain how we truly feel as we continue to reframe the way we show up for ourselves and just keep moving forward.
