How To Show Up For Yourself and Stop Drinking | Meet Our Coaches | E831
What if the first real step toward change isn’t putting down the drink, but learning to listen to yourself?
What if the key to breaking free has less to do with willpower, and more to do with compassion, curiosity, and connection? In this powerful conversation, Coach Pam is joined by Coaches Kath and Soraya to explore two very different alcohol journeys that led to the same realization: you don’t have to hit rock bottom to know that something needs to shift. For both women, the breakthrough came not in a single dramatic moment—but in a growing awareness that their drinking didn’t match their values or the life they truly wanted to live. Through their work in The Path, they’ve helped hundreds of people learn how to feel their feelings, rewrite their limiting beliefs, and discover how to show up for yourself and stop drinking—in a way that feels empowering, not punishing. If you’ve ever felt like your struggle “doesn’t count” or you’re just not sure if you deserve support, this episode will change the conversation.
In this episode, Coach Kath and Coach Pam discuss:
Why a problematic relationship with alcohol doesn’t always look “bad”
What changed when Kath stopped comparing herself to others
The importance of community in shifting from shame to empowermentHow to trust your inner voice when it says something isn’t right
Why coaching isn’t about giving advice—it’s about holding space
How to show up for yourself and stop drinking—even if you’ve tried before
…and more
In this episode, Coach Soraya and Coach Pam discuss:
How early rehab and AA shaped (and complicated) her beliefs
The game-changing moment when she asked, “What if I’m not broken?”
The power of recognizing that you’ve been showing up all along
How to feel your feelings instead of drinking them away
Why success is simply raising your hand and taking back the driver’s seat

…and more
