As the holidays approach, this episode of Her Truth Revealed offers a much-needed pause for reflection.
In this episode I sit down with Colleen Clifford, writer, speaker, and health advocate, for an honest, compassionate conversation about binge drinking, midlife transitions, and the quiet moments that can change the course of a life forever.
Colleen shares her journey from years in the commercial fishing industry with long stretches at sea followed by time off on land, to realizing how binge drinking can hide in plain sight. She didn’t drink every day. She could go months without alcohol. And like so many high-functioning women, she never identified as someone with a problem.
Together, we unpack what binge drinking actually is, why it’s often minimized, and how cultural ideas around alcoholism keep women stuck in comparison and justification. Colleen introduces the 95/5 factor, when most of life feels normal and manageable, until one unplanned moment becomes the wild card that changes everything.
Colleen also shares the deeper “why” behind her work. After losing her husband to suicide while he was binge drinking, she made a promise that his death would not be in vain. That promise became her mission, to bring awareness without shame, to open conversations without judgment, and to remind us that it only takes one moment to change a life forever.
This episode isn’t about telling anyone to stop drinking. It’s about awareness, choice, and honesty, especially during a season when social drinking, emotional weight, and old coping patterns often intensify.
If you’re entering the holidays feeling restless, disconnected, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning what no longer serves you, this conversation will meet you with compassion, clarity, and truth.
Because there is life beyond the binge, even if you can’t see it yet.
