Do y’all do this? You get upset or something triggers you and then you might spin out a bit in your head and then tell someone else about it and then you say something like am I crazy for thinking this? I mean I should be upset about this right? This is just you looking for someone else to validate your feelings and thoughts. It’s not wrong or right to do this, by the way, I for sure do it too. But what I want to suggest you start doing is validate your own feelings. I realized that I do this on the regular basis and I’ve been trying to find a way to explain the beautiful benefit of doing this and finally figured out how to share it. So, tune and listen how you can feel validated all on your own.Apply to join me in my Stop Over-drinking and Start Living program HERE:https://angelamascenik.lpages.co/ Check out Aine Morgan-Bauer (my amazing coach friend who helps moms in the Big 4 go after that promotion while balancing a home life).https://www.ainemorgan.com/

Inside the episode I also explore what is super fun about NOT over-drinking and how you can have fun while you do this work. P.S. HEY! Are you ready to make stopping over-drinking FUN?

Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, Episode 091, When You Don’t Feel Like You   This episode I wanna talk about when you don’t feel like you.   I hear this from so many women. They tell me, they used to feel good, they used to do fun things and hobbies and exercise and go out and try new things.   Then they get into a habit of drinking wine and then before they even realize it they don’t feel like themselves.    They feel stuck in a rut, they just want to drink wine at night, they tell me it’s just automatic sometimes they don’t even think about it.   They aren’t inspired, they don’t get out there and do the things, sometimes their homes get cluttered, they don’t exercise anymore, their relationships just feel flat.   And then they tell me they just want to feel like themselves again.   And instantly I know that they have lost that connection with themselves and the process of getting them back to knowing themselves and enjoying themselves is what is required to permanently stop over-drinking.   Tune into th

This week we are celebrating 90 episodes on the podcast!   We are very honored to have Corey Williams as our guest. Corey is a Racial Equity Educator and Coach.   I had her on the podcast, because 1st she’s amazing, and 2nd we have been geeking out together about feelings.   What Corey helps people do is to feel GOOD about learning and exploring as you become anti-racist.   She believes you don’t have to feel ignited and full of anger to talk about race.   In the episode we use a real life example of some feedback I received when I had recently opened up and shared about race.   No matter where you are or where you stand on the subject of race it’s important to know WHY you do and say the things you do about it.   It all comes down to how we are feeling and it’s important to recognize your feelings about it.   Just like our feelings drive our drinking our feelings are driving actions of scrolling on by or dipping our toes in the water to becoming anti-racist.   Click the link below to join me on Friday in How

This week I’m sharing how you can retrain your brain to have new habits.   It comes down these 2 things-   1st - consistently and repeatedly interrupting the automatic cycle you are currently on.   Stopping, pausing, and feeling instead of drinking or eating.   Retraining your brain that instead of pouring a glass of wine, we pause, feel, and process.    Once you do this repeatedly it becomes your automatic response instead of pouring the glass of wine.   2nd - start to reprogram your brain with new thoughts.   Going from thinking 'I just love wine!’ To ‘wine’s ok, I enjoy it occasionally.’   Tune in and learn how you can apply these simple concepts to stop over-drinking and start doing what you actually want to do now.   Sign up for the 5-week, Feel Better NOW! online course and coaching by clicking HERE. https://angelamascenik.lpages.co/feel-better-now-5-week-live-workshop/     Join me on Friday for coffee by RSVP’g by clicking HERE. https://us02we

Why do I?I am going to help you always have an answer to this question. Why do I?… drink, overeat, spin out, yell, do things that I actually don’t want to do. Or NOT do. Why can’t I Why don’t I? Same question. When your brain asks this question it’s important to answer it. If we don’t answer the questions we ask our selves, we don’t get resolution and it feels confusing and incomplete and humans generally don’t like the way that feels so then we get motivated to get out of that pain and we go seek pleasure to avoid it. We might drink again, eat more chips, or not get out and exercise.The answer to these questions is always… because I didn’t want to feel something or I didn’t feel like it. 100% of the time, what you do or don’t do is in response to your feelings.If the question is why do I drink when I say I am not going to drink? The answer is because my feelings drove me to drink. If the question is why can’t I stick to my plan, the answer is because you had a feeling that didn’t dr

Do you feel like this year just keeps getting worse? You are not alone.2020 has been a cyclone of emotions for most people.I feel like our society is on the edge of total emotional collapse.We 'can't take much more.'Yet, I know we can. Because we are humans and we are built to endure and grow and evolve and shift and pivot through hardships.It's how everything we have now has been created.All the luxuries and conveniences and technology and medicine have been created because a problem existed.We have a lot of problems right now.But, MOST of us are operating on auto-pilot, spinning in overwhelm, confusion, worry, anger, and exhaustion.When we run on auto-pilot, we don't slow down to feel our feelings and understand what they are trying to tell us.Instead, we let our feelings drive our actions and we drink, eat, avoid, scroll, yell, hide, not exercise, not move forward with solutions or goals.So we stay stuck and create even more problems than the world is delivering to us.Tune in and hear how you not allowing

Life is NOT certain. We just think thoughts that make us feel certain about the structures of our lives that we have put in place.  Such as having a job, our home, our health, our families. We think about all these things in the current and future tense as if they will never change. Generally, we don't live our lives thinking that we could die, we won't have work, or we could lose everything.  But of course, anything can happen, and that is always a risk that we have just by choosing to be alive and live. Right now during the pandemic, we are feeling a lot of uncertainty about the future. Tune in this week and learn how you can navigate the uncertainty in a way that feels good and will keep you on track with your goals, no matter what your current circumstances are.

Tune in to hear a live class I taught this week about how to lose weight without dieting. Losing weight is less about what food you are eating and more to do with what you are thinking. You can lose weight easily. It doesn't have to be 'another thing' you take on in your life. You already eat and think about food, learning how to do it by using your inherent skills, and tuning into your body, is the way to do it permanently. You don't need to count calories, track macros, and exercise hard every day to lose weight. Listen in and hear how traditional diet methods set us up for failure, not long term permanent success. You can make it easy and fun and dare I say.. PERMANENT. Click here to request a call to join my Stop Over-drinking and Start Living Program.

In this week's episode, I talk about the WANT for alcohol. Also, called urge, desire, 'feel like it,' drive to drink. So many of my clients are worried about the urge/want/desire, they think they can't handle it. Tune into this episode where I dissect the desire/urge/want and separate it from the conflict in our minds. The want is a vibration in your body if you can truly be with this feeling you can see that managing urges 'the want' is not a problem. The problem is what is going on in our minds.

This episode is NOT me preaching how you are born with some gene that makes you over-drink. I actually DO NOT BELIEVE in 'the gene' or 'not having an off switch.'  But, what I do know to be TRUE, is that you are born with bravery, confidence, motivation, self-love, respect, drive, and acceptance. You aren't someone 'who isn't brave.'  You aren't someone 'who isn't motivated.' You aren't someone 'who lacks confidence.' YOU WERE BORN WITH all of these feelings and attributes. You just haven't learned HOW to use them. Tune in this week and learn how you can use your given talents so you can stop over-drinking and start living. Listen to Lady Gaga's song HERE.

In this episode, I talk about HOW to explore new interests while you are cutting back on how much you are drinking.  For many of us, we haven't explored anything new so the idea of a new hobby or something to do in the evenings or weekends other than drinking can send us spinning in confusion. Don't be confused, tune in and I'll tell you exactly how to explore new interests that you will enjoy. Request a 20-min call by clicking HERE. Get on my email list by clicking HERE.

I spend a lot of time coaching my clients on their relationships. Relationships with spouses, work relationships, kid relationships, ALL relationships. I’ve talked about relationships in past episodes but I thought I’d give you a quick overview of what relationships are, here again. Our relationship with another person is what we think about them. Our thoughts will determine if that relationship is good or bad. So interesting right? Tune in and hear me define what our relationships are and my answers to these questions:- How relationships and our decision to drink are intertwined.- How to deal with intensity in relationships.- What to do when you recognize over-drinking behavior in your loved ones while you are doing the work to cut back on your own drinking.Sign up to join me in my FREE 5-day RESET, Stop Over-drinking and Start Living, click HERE, registration ends Sunday night 7/19/20.Request a 20-minute call to see if joining my Stop Over-drinking program makes sense for you by clicking HERE

This week I'm discussing how NOT hitting rock bottom could be worse.When we are stuck in a high-functioning pattern of living our lives, working, taking care of our families, we can let YEARS pass us by without making significant changes with our relationship with alcohol.This is very dangerous. Because on the outside, most people won't recognize you as being someone with a drinking problem, so you don't get the interventions and external pressure. And because of being here, it's sometimes very difficult for you to admit to your family and friends that you want to cut back because you don't want labels and for people to worry that you can't drink.So, we stay stuck and hidden, and before we know it decades are passing.You don't have to hit rock bottom and for your life to completely unravel to get help.Tune in and hear how this place, sort of in the middle, can often be more detrimental.Request a free 20-minute call to discuss joining my program by clicking below. https://angelamascenikcoaching.as.me/20minutec

This week's podcast I am sharing how I am processing grief as my grandmother's life is ending.  Grief is an emotion that you WANT to learn how to process and be with because if we numb or avoid it it will cause many more painful emotions and issues down the road. I believe that grief is evidence of LOVE and life and joy. When we grieve it's because we have lost something important to us. Grief needs to be allowed the same amount of time and space as we allowed the love preceding it. Tune in and also hear me share some amazing memories of my childhood with my grandmother.
