In part two of my conversation with Jessica Tanir, we go beyond alcohol itself and into the deeper mindset patterns that often drive our habits.

We talk about what happened after Jessica first took a break from drinking, why she eventually chose to continue living alcohol-free, and how easy it is for labels like “sober,” “drinker,” or even “problem drinker” to become part of someone’s identity.

This episode is a powerful reminder that your drinking habits are rarely just about alcohol. They’re often connected to self-worth, people pleasing, negative self-talk, pressure, perfectionism, and the way you see yourself.

Jessica and I also talk about why so many women are disconnected from themselves, how productivity culture keeps us stuck in cycles of stress and overconsumption, and why real change starts with awareness and self-respect — not shame.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of overthinking, starting over, beating yourself up, or feeling like you “failed,” this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• What happened after Jessica’s first sober experiment
• Why labeling yourself can backfire
• The problem with making sobriety or drinking your identity
• Why mindset matters more than willpower
• The connection between alcohol and self-worth
• People pleasing, perfectionism, and negative self-talk
• Why so many women struggle to truly connect with themselves
• Productivity culture and the pressure to always be doing more
