Welcome to The Truth About Alcohol. I’m Lee Davy.
This podcast is for people who know something about their drinking doesn’t quite add up — and want to understand why stopping can feel so much harder than it should.
No labels. No judgement. No “rock bottom” stories required.
We talk about what alcohol really does to the body, brain, and nervous system, why cravings and rituals are so persistent, and why willpower isn’t the issue most people think it is. You’ll hear calm, honest conversations that reduce shame, make the confusion make sense, and help you see your next step more clearly — whether you’re still drinking, trying to stop, or have stopped but don’t feel settled.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m intelligent, capable, and functional… so why can’t I just stop?” you’re in the right place.

Elise Becher is first and foremost a human who has been both fortunate enough and also sufficiently humbled by her life experience thus far to know that her primary mission is to live in the truest possible expression of herself and in robust gratitude for what is available in every moment, and to help others do the same.
In her professional life, she is now a Master Coach who specializes in personal and relational transformation. She invites her clients to see her as a loving big sister who will always see the best in you, who fervently wants more for you, and who won’t let you get away with the same old crap. She sees her transition to helping couples use their relationships with each other as a crucible for personal growth in a way they never realized possible as the gateway to the most rewarding work she’s ever done.
Elise is also a sexuality educator, a democratic parenting advocate and a pediatrician. She holds coaching certifications from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the Co-Active Training Institute, the Relationship School (TRS), and the Elementum Coaching Institute, where she was certified as a Master Coach for the first time and is now a faculty member.

Grief in Relationships: A Conversation With Lisa Dinhofer
Tuesday Mar 22, 2022
Tuesday Mar 22, 2022
Grief is a natural human emotion and one we often repress culturally and societally because we don’t know how to talk to each other about it or ask for help.
We all know how to grieve and mourn.
It’s within us all.
And that’s why this episode is so important.
Many of us will turn to alcohol or other unhealthy substances and behaviours to deal with these feelings, and there is another way.
This episode is for you, whether you are currently facing the spectre of loss or have experienced loss through losing loved ones or animals, divorce, or even ending your relationship with alcohol.
Lisa Dinhofer, MA, CT, is known as 'The Crisis Tamer', working with subject matter and circumstances most people turn away from. She mentors companies through traumatic and destabilizing events, workplace abuse and crisis communications to regain stability, establish a new normal and build resilience. She draws from those first-hand experiences of trauma in the workplace and lessons learned from other workplace tragedies. Lisa was an employee at the World Trade Center during the 1993 bombing and was still working in NYC during 9/11.
Lisa is a certified Thanatologist with a sub-speciality in trauma, trained counsellor, trained mediator and crisis communication specialist with 18+ years of professional experience training, consulting, coaching, debriefing and public speaking.
She is frequently called upon for debriefing and strategic advisement following emergent workplace events such as employee death. For the last year, Lisa has been a sought after consultant and facilitator in response to COVID-19 and other simultaneous stressors on organizational life.
