Artisan Angela - Lessons On Self Coaching

I want to teach you how to understand and evaluate how you are making your decision to drink or not drink. For some of you, you have an idea that a 30, 60, or a 90-day break will help you reset your drinking habits. Dry January is very popular because of all the over-indulging y’all do during the holidays. You feel sick and bloated and you want to make some changes when the holidays are over. You might feel frustrated, gross, disappointed, shameful for how much you drank. Then you decide to take a 30-day break. Then you start out strong, you might get a week in, and then you start feeling good, lighter, less puffy, you might even be sleeping better. Then Friday night rolls around and you think one drink won’t hurt, ‘I’ve been so good.’ And then before you know it you are back to your old ways. So, in this episode, I’m going to help you see how you are making these decisions and then help you make a decision that feels good and one that will last longer so you can get off the on agai

When I ask women what is stopping them from moving forward with going all-in on stopping the over-drinking and committing to making permanent changes with their relationship with alcohol, they tell me all sorts of fear-inducing thoughts. Such as, 'I'm scared... that my life won't be fun.. I'm scared I'll fail.. I'm scared I won't know how.. I'm scared of what people will think of me.. I'm scared my relationships will change..I'm scared to dig deep and look at what is causing me to drink.. I'm scared of saying I'll do it and then won’t..I WILL MISS OUT.' Fomo, fear of missing out, which is a legit reason people don’t cut back on their alcohol consumption. Women with FOMO have an underlying belief system that is telling them ALCOHOL IS MORE MORE. We believe alcohol is more fun for lots of reasons, such as our first experiences with it, what society is constantly telling us in movies, social media, fancy beautiful bars, and wineries, our society glamorizes alcohol especially to women. And if we've

This week I dive into the fear of feeling deprived when you are trying to cut back on how much you are drinking. Often we think we don't want to feel deprived before we go to a party or social event or Friday night, and we don't even try to drink less because we don't want to feel deprivation. In this episode, I examine the feeling of deprivation and how when you decide to drink/eat so you don't feel deprived you are actually depriving yourself of your goals and dreams of being someone who drinks less.I also address our current social issue here in America, racism.In the same way, our society influences how much we drink, our society influences how we think and act towards people of color. I'm not claiming to be an expert on this topic, my goal is to talk about it openly and plant the seed that you might challenge your current thoughts on racism here in America too.Stay curious, stay open, and notice your feelings on this topic. If you are feeling defensive, angry, or pissed, ask yourself why and notice the t

In this episode, I explain our human preference in how we choose to live our lives. We all have the same preferences, seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, and saving energy. When we make decisions such as drinking or not drinking these preferences come into play. The more you can understand and see these preferences in your daily life the more power you can have to over-ride them. We make decisions based on how we think we will feel and we don't like to feel uncomfortable so our preference is to avoid feeling uncomfortable. But when we choose the less uncomfortable way we don't move forward with the way we actually want to live. In this episode, I give you 3 real-life examples of how our innate preference shows up and directs us and how you can over-ride that preference to move towards your goals.

I want to explain to you the concepts or truths that changed my life FAST. My friend recently told me that I live in breakthroughs and I know that might not make sense to most people. But a breakthrough is when you recognize your own mental constructs and then you break through them to have new mental constructs that bring you closer to your goals. It really means that you are constantly up-leveling and evolving to the next best version of yourself. And I recognize that over the past 2.5 years I have been constantly and consistently living in breakthroughs. I have completely changed what I thought as possible in my life. My whole internal identity has changed. And it’s now starting to show up visually on the outside. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I would have my own business making multiple six figures -EVER. Just like I never ever thought I would be someone who didn’t drink. Ever. Ever. Ever it wasn’t even an idea. Or that I could have a good relationship with my dad.

Relationships are one of our biggest 'triggers' to over-drinking. We get so worked up in our relationships that when we feel frustrated or annoyed or pissed we tend to drink at the end of the day to take the edge off those feelings. I coach women DAILY on relationships and help them see how they are thinking about their relationship that leads to them over-drinking. Work relationships, romantic relationships, parental relationships, kid relationships. We have so many thoughts about how people should behave ESPECIALLY when they do things we don't agree with. When we have these 'should of...' or 'I would NEVER do...' or 'i can't believe they...' thoughts we feel NEGATIVE emotions. And when we feel these high vibration feelings they often drive us to go pour a glass or 4 of wine. What I want you to know is that those thoughts ARE OPTIONAL. If you are judging what they said or did or didn't do it makes YOU feel bad, not them. And then you do things that don't support the life you want to have

‘IT DOESN'T MATTER.' Have you had this thought before? It doesn’t matter? Maybe when you say you won’t drink during the week and it’s a Tuesday or maybe when you say you won’t eat after dinner.. 'it doesn’t matter.’ Or maybe you say you want to start exercising 3-4 days a week and it’s the day you planned to go for a run or walk outside and you passively think ‘it doesn’t matter.’ It’s those quick, quiet, whisper thoughts, that can be the most detrimental. It’s not typically the big deeply covered thoughts like ‘i’m not worthy’ that keep us from our goals, it’s the little ‘it doesn’t matter and who cares thoughts that cause the most trouble. Because we think them all the damn time. Tune in and listen to how this thought can wreak havoc on your goals to stop over-drinking and how you can change it.

I was recently asked to explain what I do as if I were talking to a 7-year-old. What a fun assignment. It was so easy to explain:I help women stop over-drinking. They are drinking too much because sometimes they feel stressed about all the things they have to manage like work and then coming home and taking care of the house and cooking and cleaning or sometimes something sad or unexpected happens in their lives and they drink to sort of make themselves feel better. But drinking really doesn't help them feel any better and they know that but they don't know how to feel better on their own so they keep doing it. Right?! Can you relate to this?So, I help them by listening to them and understanding their problems and teach them how to fix it and to not be hard on themselves when they aren't perfect.In adult terms: I help women feel better so they don’t turn to alcohol to help them manage any aspect of their lives. We pivot from using alcohol as a tool to manage our lives to learning how to feel better so we don
