- Alcohol disconnects us from our emotions.
- Using alcohol as self-care is a misconception.
- Journaling can help process emotions.
- True relaxation comes from within.

Alcohol psychologically and physiologically actually pulls you out of your body, out of your mind, and makes you less able to experience emotions.
Ever thought that a glass of wine was the ultimate way to unwind after a long day? Amanda Kuda is here to challenge that notion. In this episode of Unbottled Potential, Amanda takes on the widespread belief that alcohol is a form of self-care. She dives into the idea that true relaxation and trust in oneself have been within us all along, without the need for a drink.
Amanda shares her own experiences and those of her clients, highlighting how alcohol can actually hinder our emotional growth and connection to ourselves and others. She explains how alcohol 'pickles' emotions, preventing us from fully experiencing both the highs and lows of life. Amanda offers practical advice on how to sit with these emotions instead of numbing them with alcohol.
Her journaling prompt, WAIT (What Am I Thinking?), is a powerful tool for anyone looking to process their feelings in a healthy way. This episode is packed with wisdom and practical tips for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol. So, if you're ready to explore a life where you fully experience your emotions and live authentically, this episode is a must-listen.
