Ever feel like you're doing everything right—white-knuckling through cravings, saying no to the drink—and yet you're still exhausted? This episode is for you. In this week’s episode, Lindsay breaks down why relying on willpower alone will always leave you stuck in the same cycle. She shares why even the most disciplined, high-achieving women burn out trying to “just say no” to alcohol—and why that’s not your fault.

You’ll learn:

Why willpower is a finite resource (and what that means for your sobriety)
The difference between resistance mode and alignment mode
Why trying harder isn’t the answer—and what actually is
The tools that help you move from “just surviving” sobriety to thriving in a life you don’t want to escape from
A client story that beautifully illustrates how freedom is possible when you stop relying on willpower and start creating a life that feels so good, alcohol no longer fits
