Building Momentum: Burnout, Identity, and Lasting Change
1w ago01:25:20Tap to summarizeJoin Coach Kevin and Coach Eric Fischer as they sit down with Gina Welch — a nurse practitioner with 26 years in healthcare, a Reframer (three years alcohol-free) — to talk about identity, escape, and the long work of becoming someone new.They dig into why heavy drinking is rarely about the drink (it's about what the drink lets you not feel), how working in an ER through COVID turned an already-heavy habit into something Gina did to forget every day, and why someone who built her entire life around drinking — the schedule, the friends, the rituals — described herself as "the last person" she'd have imagined giving it up. The conversation digs into:Why identity matters more than discipline in lasting changeHow to feel feelings instead of escaping themThe "brain ruts" visualization What maintenance looks like three years inAnd the small moments of distraction that change everythingThe Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the #1 app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.

Transcribe →Rebuilding from Zero: ADHD, Addiction, and Finding Yourself
2w ago01:14:25Tap to summarizeJoin Coach Kevin and Eric Fischer as they sit down to talk about identity, addiction, and the slow work of becoming someone new.They dig into why alcohol isn't usually the problem (it's the solution to one), how chronic pain, professional setbacks, and family stress can quietly fuel a drinking problem, and why so many high-achievers don't recognize addiction until it has them by the throat. You'll hear about the late-in-life ADHD diagnosis that changed everything, and why stripping away identity, even the "alcoholic" label can be the doorway to becoming someone new.You'll also hear how to navigate social events, travel, and everyday triggers alcohol-free, why "less is more" applies to recovery and daily life, the difference between being consistent and truly persistent, and why starting absurdly small isn't weakness — it's the work. They explore the link between ADHD, impulsivity, and addiction, the neuroscience of rewiring your brain, and the role community and honest self-reflection play in long-term sobriety.If you've ever felt defined by a role, a profession, or a habit you can't seem to shake, this episode is a reminder that your story isn't finished and the next chapter starts with one small honest step.The Reframeable podcast is brought to you by the Reframe app. Reframe is the #1 app to help you cut back or quit drinking alcohol.
