High-achieving women who struggle with alcohol are often smart, hard working and struggle with trusting in their own worth, instincts and decisions. 

If this is you, you’re probably extremely capable but live with insecurity, a healthy fear of failure and a loud inner-critic. 

You might look to your boss, partner, parents or friends for approval and validation of your work. 

You might have a hard time drawing boundaries or feel like you can never relax because you could be doing more. And you might drink to quiet the constant chatter in your mind.

Before I stopped drinking I identified as a people-pleaser and an overachiever who lived with a somewhat constant fear of failure, a need for approval and a lot of self doubt. 

I started relying on wine to turn off my busy mind, let me relax and quiet my insecurities. 

But ironically, once I started drinking to cope it became even harder to trust my choices, feel confident and capable.

I asked my friend Sara Dean, a business and leadership coach and the host of the Shameless Mom Academy Podcast, to help us understand why women lose self-trust and how to get it back.
