Summary

Janel didn’t consciously increase her drinking. The problem evolved over time and as life’s demands and struggles kept piling up. A divorce, the burden of parenting, and her career all seemed to contribute to a glass that was always full but a life that left so much missing. Listen as Janel and Annie discuss how her guilt around drinking led her to This Naked Mind, how she continues to learn and grow using the coping mechanisms she’s learned, and how she’s using her journey to help and equip her children for the future.

0:52.6	Thank you. So welcome. Why don't you sort of take me back to the beginning with alcohol? Where did
1:02.7	it all start for you? Sure. Yeah. So my journey kind of started, I think, probably where a lot of
