Feel Good Alcohol-Free with Lindsay Hennekey
Hi, I'm Lindsay Hennekey, Sober Coach and Founder of Feel Good AF. This is a podcast for women who are sober or sober curious, looking for support in navigating a life without alcohol. I'm so glad you are here.
You may be thinking: What does an alcohol-free life look like for me? How do I live a life without drinking that doesn’t feel like I am missing something? How do I move beyond alcohol and into the elevated version of myself that I know is inside of me.
You are a hardworking, high-achieving, successful woman in so many areas of your life, who deserves to find a solution to the one big issue that has been holding you back. The solution exists and that's what this podcast is all about.
Each episode we'll cover one area of the Feel Good AF methodology - why moderation doesn't work, what to do when you have a slip, how to celebrate milestones, where you will find your alcohol-free community - and everything in between.
You'll be hearing a lot from me, but I'll also be bringing in a wide range of incredible women to share their stories, expertise, tips & advice, and so much more. Follow Feel Good Alcohol-Free wherever you get your podcasts, and subscribe to my YouTube channel for video episodes. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we dive deep into the unique struggles that high-achieving women face when it comes to alcohol. If you’ve ever felt like you have everything in your life under control—your career, your family, your responsibilities—but alcohol is the one thing that keeps slipping through your fingers, this episode is for you.
We start with Sarah’s story—a woman who had it all together on the outside but felt trapped in a cycle of shame and self-doubt around her drinking. Her story reflects what so many successful women experience: the frustration of knowing how to excel in every other area of life yet feeling powerless when it comes to alcohol.
What You'll Learn In This Episode:
- Why high-achieving women struggle with alcohol in ways others might not understand.
- The cycle of shame and guilt that keeps you stuck.
- Two powerful, science-backed reasons why your brain keeps pulling you back to drinking:
- Decision-Making Impairments: How alcohol rewires your brain, making drinking feel like an automatic response instead of a conscious choice.
- Motivation Hijacking: How alcohol shifts your brain’s reward system, making it harder to stay motivated for the things that once lit you up.
- Why willpower alone doesn’t work—and what actually does when it comes to breaking free from alcohol’s grip.
