We want big resolutions. We want massive change. But what I have found time and time again is that

massive change is always built through tiny steps. 10% shifts leave room for you to be human,

to run into obstacles, to mess up, and to keep moving forward.

Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, this podcast will help you change the

habit from the inside out. We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink

and why it can be hard to resist temptation. No labels, no judgment, just practical tools to take

control of your desire and stop worrying about your drinking. Now here's your host, Rachel Hart.

All right, this is the last episode of 2025.

And I'll tell you this, you might be feeling more tired than inspired about the new year,

especially if you're just trying to keep your head above the water.

So maybe part of you is really ready to change.

And part of you is doubting that things with your drinking will actually

be different this year, especially with everything that's happening in your life.

I'll tell you this. We're sold this fantasy that when the new year comes, it's a magical time to

create change. But just because you have ambition doesn't mean you don't also have your doubt. So instead of

trying to figure out how you're finally going to solve your over-drinking this year,

I want you to start by just asking yourself a much smaller question. What would a 10% shift in my drinking look like this year?

It might mean being 10% more honest with yourself about why you're actually pouring the drink

instead of just saying, well, it's my favorite and I love the taste. Maybe it's 10% more evenings where you don't

immediately open a bottle of wine or crack open a beer or fix yourself a cocktail in order to relax.

Maybe it's just being 10% kinder to yourself after drinking too much. Now, I will tell you this,

your brain is going to resist this
