When You Can’t Stay Silent: How to Help Someone You Love Who’s Drinking Too Much

Lisa is a women’s empowerment and running coach based in upstate New York. Through her coaching and her Ella Go Podcast, she inspires women to find strength, confidence, and community through movement—both on and off the pavement. Lisa leads both virtual and in-person running groups, helping women tap into their inner power and resilience.

In this episode, Lisa opens up about the moment she realized a friend’s drinking had crossed a line—and the courage it took to speak up. What began as a difficult and emotional conversation led to unexpected healing and transformation, not only for her friend but for Lisa herself.

Together, Melissa and Lisa explore what it takes to lovingly confront someone who may be struggling with alcohol, why so many people avoid these conversations, and how compassion and courage can change everything.
