What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this captivating episode, Coach Victoria English unravels the mystery behind the emotional hangover that often goes unnoticed. While most are familiar with the physical aftermath of a night out, it's the emotional hangover that can truly derail high achievers. Coach Victoria breaks down the neurochemical processes involved, explaining how dopamine debt, glutamate rebound, and cortisol surges create a storm of emotions like anxiety, irritability, and shame.
Using relatable anecdotes, she paints a vivid picture of how these invisible hangovers affect not just mood but also life choices. Through stories like Jessica's—a successful executive who found herself trapped in a cycle of drinking not for pleasure but to escape the emotional crash—listeners gain a deeper understanding of the biochemical roots of their struggles. Victoria encourages a shift in perspective: instead of asking why you feel emotional, consider what your brain is recovering from.
