Episode 290

If you are a gal in midlife who is questioning her drinking and having a hard time getting sober, I’m with you.

In this episode, I answer a client's question: What was the hardest part of getting sober for you?

After she asked me this question, I didn’t hesitate. The hardest part for me was deciding to stop drinking.

I spent two years feeling stuck in decision fatigue and putting in lots of effort to make alcohol work. On August 11, 2013, I decided to go all in on what I wanted more than drinking alcohol.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How and why I decided to stop drinking

• My take on what it means to “get sober”

• Why it’s difficult to decide to quit drinking (spoiler alert: it’s not you, it’s alcohol)

• The fears that I faced in going alcohol-free, which are shared among many women in midlife

• What it takes to go “all-in” on freeing yourself from alcohol

My message to you…

If you are having difficulty deciding right now, take a walk with yourself and map out a plan. Maybe now isn’t the time to take this on, and that’s okay - you can’t force yourself to get sober - you will figure it out, and you're on your way. I

If you’re ready to go all in, you can do it. I believe in you. Be kind and patient with yourself and take it day to day.

Thank you for listening!

Episode 289

Hey there, friend!

This episode comes straight from my heart and is for the moms and grandmas of the world who feel regretful about their drinking.

I share what becoming a mom was like, how I started drinking the day I came home from the hospital, and why I quit drinking for myself, not my son, but stay sober for him today.

I also talk about how I'm living with the regret of my drinking as a mom.

In honor of Mother's Day and where I am today on my motherhood road, I wanted to talk about this topic to let you know you are not alone.

My favorite thing I said in this episode (yes, I'm quoting myself) is: I have never regretted the decision to stop drinking.

Thank you for being here.

I appreciate you!
