Über diesen Titel

 Beyond the Gray is the podcast for high-performing men over 50 who look successful on the outside… but feel stuck, restless, or disconnected on the inside. (And if you’re a woman listening, you’ll relate more than you think!) Maybe your drinking isn’t “out of control,” but it’s become a habit you think about more than you’d like to admit. Maybe you’ve tried to cut back, take breaks, or moderate, but you keep sliding back into the same cycle. Host Kari Schwear, founder of GrayTonic, helps business owners, leaders, and high-achievers understand the real reason they keep returning to alcohol, distraction, overwork, and autopilot living. This isn’t a sobriety podcast. And it’s not about labels. It’s about clarity, habits, emotional regulation, relationships, faith, and optimizing your life in the second half. Each episode delivers honest conversations, science-backed insights, practical tools, and real stories to help you get out of the gray and start living with intention. If you’re tired of feeling “fine” but not fulfilled… you’re in the right place. New episodes weekly. Official launch date is Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026.© 2026 Kari Schwear Hygiene & gesundes Leben Persönliche Entwicklung Persönlicher Erfolg Seelische & Geistige Gesundheit

  • Why Willpower Isn’t Working (It’s an Identity Problem)

    Why Willpower Isn’t Working (It’s an Identity Problem)
    Mar 3 2026

    Why do you keep starting over — even when you’re motivated?

    In this episode, Kari explains why willpower isn’t the issue. Identity is.

    If your habits keep repeating — whether it’s drinking, discipline, marriage, or leadership — this conversation will help you understand the real driver behind your behavior and how to consciously step into the next version of yourself.

    If this resonates and you want to explore your patterns more deeply, you can find the link in the show notes.

    There is life beyond the gray.

    Why You Keep Going Back to Drinking (And How to Stop) | The Power of the Pause
    Mar 3 2026

    It’s not about the alcohol.
    It’s about the relief.

    In Episode 2 of Beyond the Gray, Kari explains why gray area drinking isn’t a willpower problem — it’s a pattern problem.

    If you’ve ever promised yourself you wouldn’t drink… and then did anyway, this episode breaks down why that happens.

    You’ll learn:

    • How habits are wired in the brain
    • Why stress triggers autopilot drinking
    • Why moderation feels exhausting
    • The 10-minute pause that interrupts cravings
    • How daily intentions rebuild identity

    This is practical, science-backed strategy — not shame.
    The pause is all about questioning the drink.... literally.
