podcast· 21:49210. When You're Impatient for Progress
Impatience is one of the most misunderstood parts of changing your relationship with alcohol. When progress feels slow, it’s easy to assume something isn’t working, when in reality you’re often right in the middle of the learning phase. Wanting this to feel easier can create mental friction that actually slows you down. Not because you’re doing it wrong, but because your brain is adjusting to doing something new. Discomfort doesn’t mean danger. It usually means growth. In this episode, I break down why impatience shows up, how it quietly pulls you off course, and what to do instead so you keep building momentum without pressure or self judgment. If you’re ready to stop negotiating with yourself and start moving through evenings, social situations, and urges with more ease and self trust, book a discovery call. I’ll help you build a plan that fits your life and shows you how to make alcohol take up less space in your head. It’s your turn. Book your call here: https://tidycal.com/90daysl

Aia Vecchia: A Modern Voice Defining Coastal Tuscany
The Wining Hour: Founded by the Pellegrini family in the mid-1990’s, Aia Vecchia is a family-owned Tuscan estate that has a strong reputation for producing expressive, terroir-driven wines from Italy’s coastal regions. Today, Aia Vecchia is managed by Elia Pellegrini, 4th generation owner and vintner. The estate takes its name from an old building on their property, symbolizing both heritage and place. With roughly 112 acres of vineyards split between Bolgheri and Maremma, the estate honors the region’s deep agricultural tradition with a modern, detail-focused approach to viticulture and winemaking, while capturing the essence of Tuscany’s maritime landscapes. Along with Aia Vecchia’s agronomist, Daniel Schuster, and the expertise of Hungarian winemaker, Tibor Gal, the Pellegrinis have been crafting beautiful, structured Bordeaux grape varieties primarily in two Tuscan zones: Bolgheri and Maremma. Coastal Warmth, Marine Influence and Tuscany Structure Bolgheri Bolgheri, known for its B

Historic Beer Birthday: George Schmitt
Today is the birthday of George Schmitt (April 14, 1869-July 31, 1898). There’s very little about him that I could find, though I suspect the fact that he died when he was only 29 might have something to do with that. He was trained as a brewer at his father’s brewery, worked at a malt […]

Beer In Ads #5221: Bowler Brothers’ Bock
Two years ago I decided to concentrate on Bock ads for awhile. Bock, of course, may have originated in Germany, in the town of Einbeck. Because many 19th century American breweries were founded by German immigrants, they offered a bock at certain times of the year, be it Spring, Easter, Lent, Christmas, or what have […]
