    Ep. 224: How To Socialize Sober
    Jul 25 2024
    In a boozy world it can be pretty daunting to socialize sober when you stop drinking. When you go to a restaurant the first thing they hand you is the drinks menu with all the wine, beer and cocktails offered. When you walk into a party someone will immediately ask you what you want to drink and tell you where you can grab an alcoholic beverage. And it seems like every sports event, dinner, holiday, concert, picnic and kids’ birthday party is a drinking event these days. So I asked Susie Streelman to join me to talk about how to socialize sober. We want to give you actionable, practical strategies that you can use today to handle events like a sober pro. 4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

    Ep. 223: Does Your Phone Make You Constantly Connected, Always Available, Anxious and Unhappy?
    Jul 18 2024
    Did you know that stepping away from your smartphone can help you lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life? These days the devices in our pockets make us constantly connected, always available, overstimulated and interrupted by pings, reminders and vibrations. Our phones have increased the pace, efficiency and convenience of our lives, but studies show they’ve also increased our anxiety, depression, and loneliness. I remember the days before smartphones as a slower and more peaceful time in my life. But I love my phone and it’s the tool I use more than any other. It’s my credit card, address book, alarm clock, meditation app, sleep sounds, encyclopedia, map and dictionary. How did I navigate life without it? I asked Jennie Ketchum-Crooks, an anxiety and OCD specialist, to help me dive deep into the mental health impacts of digital overconsumption and how a digital detox can help us combat anxiety and foster healthier, more meaningful lives. 4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

  • Ep. 222: What We Get Wrong About How To Be Happy

    Ep. 222: What We Get Wrong About How To Be Happy
    Jul 11 2024
    If you're not feeling 100% happy in your life, you might be surprised as to the reasons why. It turns out the "science of happiness" has found that a lot of the things we've been told will make us happy, don't actually bring us joy, contentment and satisfaction. And if you're a woman in midlife you might suspect that's true. We've been taught that if we accomplish and achieve the things on the external "measures of success", then we'll be happy. It might be climbing the corporate ladder, making a certain amount of money, getting married, having kids, buying the house, going on fancy vacations, eating and drinking at nice restaurants or dive bars with your girlfriends or partner, opening a bottle of wine to "relax" and "celebrate", having a perfect and aspirational Instagram feed (or insert your "thing that will make me happy when I finally achieve it" here). What if you're doing all that, you have all the blessings, and you feel overwhelmed, stressed out, dissatisfied, lonely, irritated, resentful or bored? I've asked Dr. Laurie Santos, a Professor of Psychology at Yale University, host of The Happiness Lab podcast and expert on the science of happiness to help us learn practical strategies to cultivate genuine happiness. 4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

  • Ep. 221: 30 Days Sober: A Diary Of Early Sobriety

    Ep. 221: 30 Days Sober: A Diary Of Early Sobriety
    Jul 4 2024
    Early sobriety is an emotional and tender time, so I wanted to share with you my diary of my first 30 days sober, which has somehow turned into 6 continuous years alcohol-free. 6 years ago I woke up on the couch at 3am after drinking a bottle of wine. I came upstairs to crawl into bed with my husband filled with anxiety and unable to fall back to sleep. In the morning I had to get up, get ready and take my kids to school with a headache, bloodshot eyes and a hangover while trying to ignore my husband’s question of “how are you feeling this morning?” And while that morning was no different than many others, somehow on that day I decided that I couldn’t do this to myself anymore. I had been trying to cut back on my drinking and moderate it, but it wasn’t working. I realized that I had to make a change and take a break from drinking and I needed support. So I reached out to a sober coach, Belle Robertson of Tired Of Thinking About Drinking, and signed up to work with her.

  • Ep. 219: Should I Take A Break From Drinking? Look For These Signs To Know It’s Time

    Ep. 219: Should I Take A Break From Drinking? Look For These Signs To Know It’s Time
    Jun 20 2024
    Have you been thinking about taking a break from drinking, only to decide that you’re “not that bad”? Most women who wonder if they’re drinking too much can look around and find lots of reasons why it’s not a “real issue”. We’ve been told that having a problem with alcohol is black or white. Either you fall into the category of someone who is “an alcoholic” or who has a “drinking problem", or you don’t. But in truth binge drinking among women has become so normalized that it’s easy to dismiss any worries you have about your alcohol consumption by looking at friends and family members who drink like you do. A lot of women fall into a category known as “gray area drinking” where your drinking falls between the extremes of having negative consequences from alcohol consumption and being able to take it or leave it on occasion. You don’t have to have a drinking problem to decide that drinking isn’t helping you be your best self. And you don’t need to be an alcoholic to benefit from a longer period of time alcohol-free.

  • Ep. 218: How To Transform Your Home To Reduce Triggers To Drink and Support Your Sobriety

    Ep. 218: How To Transform Your Home To Reduce Triggers To Drink and Support Your Sobriety
    Jun 13 2024
    Is your home set up to support your sobriety or sabotage your efforts to lead an alcohol-free life? If you’re used to opening a bottle of wine the minute you walk in the door, having a cocktail on the back deck or curling up on the couch with your laptop or netflix after the kids go to bed, your home environment can be a powerful trigger to drink. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The way you live and design your environment can make it harder or easier to be alcohol-free. And especially in early sobriety you need to build a sober bubble. When I quit drinking, in order to build my sober bubble I needed to remove all the wine from my house. I also needed to create a sober sanctuary where I could retreat to after dinner. A place to support a new evening routine that didn’t include drinking on my couch after the kids went to bed. So I spent some time making my bedroom a place that sparked joy and supported peace and calm in the evenings. I created a space that supported my new alcohol-free lifestyle. One in which I took care of my body and myself. Simple changes can reduce cravings to drink and create a nurturing space for self care and sobriety. I asked Caroline Thor, a KonMari® Consultant and the host of the Living Clutter Free Forever podcast, to share how you can create a home that supports your ideal alcohol-free lifestyle. 3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.
