"Every time you make a small promise and keep it, you start to rewire the system."
Ever found yourself in the loop of promising, "this is my last drink," only to break that promise again? Coach Victoria English tackles this common cycle with the science behind self-betrayal and offers hope for rebuilding trust with your brain. The episode dives into the neuroscience of repeated broken promises and how they can lead to a weakened prefrontal cortex, affecting your identity and decision-making abilities.
But fear not, as Victoria explains how neuroplasticity can be harnessed to change these patterns, using small wins to strengthen your self-trust and reshape your identity. Through a 90-day alcohol-free journey, she illustrates how you can transform your expectations from failure to integrity, helping you show up for yourself in new ways. This episode is packed with insights into how the brain processes habits and how understanding this can lead to meaningful change.

Tune in for a conversation that blends science with real-life applications, offering a pathway to freedom from alcohol and a chance to dream again. Are you ready to break the cycle and build a future full of clarity and self-trust?
