🎧 Ever notice how the busier life gets, the easier it is to justify that nightly drink?
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook explores the “I deserve a drink” trap — how stress, burnout, and modern hustle culture quietly rewire your brain to crave alcohol, and why the relief it brings is only temporary.
You’ll learn:
- How stress hormones and dopamine cycles make you reach for a drink after long days
- Why constant busyness creates the illusion that alcohol = rest
- The science behind decision fatigue and late-night willpower crashes
- How ingredients like L-Tyrosine and Ashwagandha (found in Cloud9’s Daily Restore) can help stabilize mood, focus, and stress — without the hangover
🎧 Tap play to learn why your brain links “busy” with “boozy” — and how to reclaim real relaxation that actually restores you.
