Disrupt the Pattern helps creative professionals break the alcohol cycle that keeps you from addressing the real areas blocking your creativity—feeling blocked, drained, or hidden. Each episode uses a randomized question generator to spark real-time reflection—no scripts, no planning, just honest exploration of what’s potentially blocking your creative potential.
We start with guided breath work to create space, then explore one randomly selected question about the areas that disrupt creativity: blocked, drained, or hidden. These feelings can show up with anyone; the distinction is when alcohol becomes the escape instead of working with what’s actually happening. Through awareness and action, you’ll learn to disrupt your relationship with alcohol and unlock the creativity that’s been waiting.
The Question
“What parts of my best work am I protecting by drinking instead of sharing?”
This question revealed Hidden—where your best work stays protected by fear, and drinking becomes the excuse not to share it.
The Connection
Just feel into that for a moment. What is that fear? Where is that fear coming from that you don’t want to share your work?
I think it’s judgment, you know. And that fear, that feeling of fear—it’s really uncomfortable in the body. And so alcohol is a really easy way to escape that feeling.
Because when you drink, it numbs everything. And you might not feel like you’re having to protect yourself. But, you know, unfortunately, it’s a false sense of protection.
I think we lock into what we don’t know. And that unknown creates an uncomfortable feeling, that uncertainty. And so we’re afraid to put ourselves out there.
But I think that’s the beauty of this work—when you drop the bottle, when you let go, you just have to trust. You’ve got to put trust back into yourself. You just have to feel that what’s going to happen moving forward is going to be right for you.
The Action
“Share a rough draft of anything you are working on”
This isn’t about perfection. This is about disrupting the alcohol pattern by putting yourself out there—trusting yourself enough to share what you’ve been protecting.
My invitation to you is to try it out for a week. Share in the comments. Send me a DM. Either way, just go ahead and put it out into the world.
Let it go. Notice. Notice how you feel. Just notice. Touch that fear without having to numb it. And see what happens.
What This Looks Like for Alcohol-Free Creativity
Permission
When you trust yourself, the inner confidence will continue to grow
It’s scary at first—it really sucks—but it gets better
Your best work is ready. It wants to come out. And you’re more than capable
Practice
Sharing imperfect work builds the muscle of putting yourself out there
Each time you share, the fear becomes less intense
You learn that the discomfort of being seen isn’t as bad as you thought
The reward is in the doing, not in being perfect
The Result
You’re going to be fine.
This is how we break alcohol patterns: By trusting yourself. By touching the fear without numbing it. By realizing that your best work is ready to be shared.
When you remove alcohol, you can actually work with the discomfort instead of hiding from it. You grow and learn from it. And ultimately you decide: Alcohol doesn’t serve me anymore. I don’t need it.
That’s a really awesome feeling. This is how you unlock your creative potential.
