So many women think they have a drinking problem, when really alcohol has become a coping tool — a fast way to de-stress, disconnect, numb out, or finally exhale. In this episode, Jessica and I talk about what it means to actually regulate instead of numb, and why this is such an important part of healing your relationship with alcohol. We also get into social media and comparison, the power of in-person connection, Jessica’s experience with plant medicine and retreats in Peru , and the practical strategies that helped her stay alcohol-free — including non-alcoholic alternatives, adaptogens, and bartender-approved tips for drinking less in social settings. This episode is such a good one for anyone who wants to feel better, drink less, and build a life that doesn’t constantly leave them desperate to escape it. In this episode, we cover: Why so many women drink to regulate stress Alcohol and the nervous system Why numbing emotions keeps you stuck Social media, comparison, and overstimulation The value of in-person events and real connection Jessica’s experience with plant medicine in Peru Intention setting and emotional healing Bartender-approved tips for drinking less Non-alcoholic drinks, adaptogens, and mocktail alternatives Why finding supportive alcohol-free options matters Connect with Jessica Tanir The Reconnection Retreat - https://www.jessicatanir.com/retreat Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jessicatanir?igsh=MTlvYW00c3VqZ2RxMQ== Jessica is an Integration Guide, yoga and sound healing facilitator, and psychedelic mentor.
