Social events can feel like minefields for anyone in recovery. You can feel calm and centered—until the moment someone says, “Just have one bite.”
What happens next isn’t weakness—it’s wiring. Our brains are built to mirror the people around us, and modern culture takes advantage of that instinct. This workshop will help you understand why social pressure can override your best intentions—and how to stay steady, connected, and confident no matter who’s at the table.

 

 In this free live workshop, you’ll discover:

  • The science of social influence — why cravings intensify around others and how to stop internalizing their cues.

  • How to protect your calm in triggering environments without isolating yourself or explaining your choices.

  • Practical language for setting gentle boundaries that protect your recovery and preserve your relationships.

  • How to build social confidence so you can attend gatherings, holidays, or workplace events feeling grounded and safe.

  • A new understanding of belonging—what it means to connect authentically without blending into unhealthy norms.
