Summary

Is your fear of being judged holding you back? Molly grew up relying on people’s opinions to feel good about herself. As a physician, she struggles to talk about alcohol use without fear of being misunderstood and judged. She worries that people will think something is wrong with her for choosing to live alcohol-free. Since her self-worth has relied heavily on external validation and appearing perfect, being judged by others would hurt her self-esteem. In this episode, Coach Rina helps Molly see that her fear of judgment is really about how she judges herself. By learning to be kinder to herself and letting go of the pressure to be perfect, Molly can start living a more authentic, balanced life. In this episode, Coach Rina and Molly will discuss: - The fear of being judged for choosing to stop drinking - Letting go of the need for external validation - Dealing with the pressure to be perfect - Feeling misunderstood about her choices regarding alcohol - Different views on what healthy drinking looks like - Protecting her professional life while sharing her story - Worrying about what others will think if she drinks again - How her parents’ struggles with alcohol shaped her journey - Her choice to parent differently from the way she grew up - Taking ownership of your journey without blaming others - Learning to show compassion to yourself - And other topics… Rina Bowring is a certified TNM Senior Coach who built a successful career in the outdoor advertising industry. After discovering This Naked Mind and transforming her relationship with alcohol, she decided to pursue her passion as an alcohol freedom coach. Inspired by the changes she experienced, Rina now shares the TNM method with the Christian community. She wants to help people break free from harmful habits, let go of guilt and shame, and find joy again.
