A free video series with Ellen Biggs
The Other Side
What I wish someone had told me — before I spent decades thinking something was wrong with me.
Have you ever woken up at 3am — heart racing, thoughts spiraling — making promises to yourself you weren't sure you could keep?
I did. For about 15 years.
On the outside, everything looked fine. I was the stay-at-home mom with the happy family and the full social calendar. On the inside, I was quietly unraveling. Hiding a bottle of wine a night from my husband. Pregaming alone in the bathroom before dinners out or parties. Looking at every social invitation and thinking — will there be alcohol there?
I thought something was wrong with me.
I thought I was the only one.
What nobody told me — for decades — was that the cycle I was trapped in wasn't a character flaw. It was chemistry.
When I finally learned the truth about what alcohol actually does in the body, when I found a community of people who understood, when I stopped trying to willpower my way out and started getting curious instead — everything started to shift.
I made these videos because I don't want you to wait as long as I did.
What's inside
Six honest conversations about changing your relationship with alcohol.
i
I Was You
Before anything else — my story. Where I was, what it actually looked like on the inside, and the moment a small flicker of hope changed everything. If you've ever thought you were the only one, start here.
ii
It's the Substance, Not You
There's a reason the cycle keeps repeating — and it has nothing to do with your willpower, your character, or your strength. This one reframes everything.
iii
What If You Got Curious Instead?
The moment I stopped fighting myself and started asking different questions, something shifted. This video is where that starts for you.
iv
The Mindful Drinking Exercise
A simple experiment to run this week. What you notice might surprise you.
v
The Shame Ends Here
You've probably been carrying this alone. Here's what becomes possible when you don't have to anymore.
vi
Which Version of You?
A quiet but powerful exercise. Imagine yourself a year from now — two very different mornings. I'll walk you through both.
ABOUT ELLEN
I've been exactly where you are.
I'm Ellen Biggs — an alcohol freedom coach certified in This Naked Mind and Affective Liminal Psychology. But more than any of that, I'm someone who spent over 15 years in the same cycle you might be in right now.
I was 52 when I first heard the term "gray area drinking." I'd built a whole identity around my love of wine. I got married in Napa Valley for heaven's sake. Wine was woven into everything I thought I was. I wasn't ready to call myself an alcoholic — and honestly, I didn't need to. That label kept me stuck for years. The moment I learned there was another way to look at this, the door opened.
Today, alcohol is completely irrelevant in my life. Not because I have exceptional willpower. Because I understand the science, I did the interior work, and I stopped being alone with it.
I made this video series because I believe the right information — offered with compassion, not judgment — can give someone back years of their life. I know it did for me.
