If the solution to alcohol use disorder isn’t a behavior, but a feeling— HOW THE HELL DO YOU PRACTICE A FEELING?

In today’s episode, Colleen breaks down the mindset shift that will completely change the way you think about manifestation. Not the toxic, glittery, vision-board version. But the grounded, neuroscience-backed practice of training your body and brain to feel powerful on purpose—so you don’t need alcohol to feel that way for you.

Colleen explains why "wanting" and "waiting" energy keeps you stuck, why your thoughts aren’t facts (even the convincing ones), and how to get off the mental hamster wheel of self-doubt, disappointment, and shame. If you’re ready to stop “trying to change” and start experiencing change in real time—this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

• The solution to alcohol use disorder is a feeling—not a behavior.

• Thoughts are habits. What you believe isn’t always true—it’s just familiar.

• Manifestation isn’t magic; it’s alignment. Feel like the version of you you want to become.

• Wanting and waiting energy blocks progress. “What’s working now” energy opens the path forward.

• You can only think how you feel. Change your feeling, and your brain will catch up.

Action Step:

Get a What’s Working Now journal. Start tracking all the tiny signs that your transformation is already happening. Even if you wake up hungover. Especially if you wake up hungover. The more you train your brain to notice wins, the more progress you’ll make.
