If you’re using alcohol to cope, perform, or just get through the day, this episode is worth your time. Gillian Tietz, biochemist and host of the Sober Powered podcast, breaks down the real science behind drinking, why moderation doesn’t work for everyone, and how alcohol messes with your leadership and clarity.

In this episode, we’re talking about sobriety, substance use, and how alcohol quietly shapes the way you lead, make decisions, and run your business.

Why You Should Listen:

Learn what alcohol is really doing to your brain: Gillian explains the neurochemistry of drinking and why it’s more than just a bad habit.
Understand why moderation fails for some people: Hear why “just drink less” is not helpful advice for problem drinkers.
Identify the connection between alcohol and burnout: How alcohol masks exhaustion, amplifies anxiety, and disconnects you from your own needs.
Start rethinking how you cope with discomfort: If you’re using alcohol (or any habit) to get through your workday or social obligations, this episode gives you a different lens to look through.

Listen in for a candid conversation about drinking, coping, and what happens when you stop avoiding yourself.
