Ep. 180: Sober Sex, Dating and Relationships
“Let’s grab a drink” is a pretty standard invitation for a first date and in my drinking days almost every date with my husband involved a bottle of wine. So when you stop drinking it’s normal to wonder how sober sex, dating and relationships are going to work without alcohol as a social lubricant. The good news is that there are a lot of benefits to dry dating. When you take alcohol out of the equation you can be more present, evaluate if the person you’re with is a good match or if there are red flags you missed when you were drinking, connect with your partner more deeply, remember everything clearly and even have more satisfying sex sober.For resources mentioned in this episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/1803 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 179: High Achieving Women At Work - Pressure, The Patriarchy + A Bottle Of Wine A Night
How do you handle an endless number of meetings in a single day and the pressure to constantly do more? Do you feel like you’re always behind, overworked and undervalued? What if you wake up everyday to head into a workplace that feels toxic and untenable but blame yourself for not handling it all with grace and ease?If you’re a high-achieving woman with an ambitious career, the pressures of corporate life can make it easy to buy into the idea that alcohol will help you cope. It's a story that resonates with many of us who have walked the tightrope between success and self-destruction, building a career while also struggling with drinking, thinking about drinking and recovering from drinking. In her book Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career, my friend Kristi Coulter details her experience working at Amazon.com for 12 years. She writes about the challenge and excitement along with seven-day workweeks, burnout and a culture driven largely by fear. 3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 178: It’s Not About The Wine - How To Cope With The Mental Load of Motherhood
What’s the image that comes to mind when you hear the phrase “wine mom”? In popular culture she’s portrayed as a woman with small children, barely getting through the day and reaching for a glass of wine at night to ease the stress of parenthood. Or maybe she’s a soccer mom with a tumbler of wine on the sidelines or escaping the kids for the night at a book club meeting with girlfriends and lots and lots of wine. The idea that being a modern mom means you are “surviving motherhood one glass of wine at a time” is everywhere. As a mother, I know firsthand the immense pressures that come with the territory of parenting. From managing the household to juggling kids' schedules and addressing their emotional needs, the mental load of motherhood can often feel overwhelming. The truth is that moms need support for the physical and emotional labor of parenting, not an unhealthy coping mechanism of downing an addictive substance.3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 177: Self-Care In Early Sobriety
Self-care is critical for setting you up for success in early sobriety.If you’re like most women who drink to reward yourself at the end of the day you’ve probably been going through life over-scheduling yourself, putting your head down to get through your endless to-do list, feeling like there’s never enough time in the day.You’re likely overwhelmed, overworked and overtired.And if you continue to feel that way you’re going to do what you’ve always done: drink to check out and tolerate your life and your schedule.For full show notes and to access resources mentioned in this episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/1773 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 175: What Can You Expect In Your First 90 Days Of Sobriety
When I first tried to stop drinking I couldn’t get much more than 4 days alcohol-free, so the idea of 90 days of sobriety seemed impossible. Looking back I now realize that part of why staying sober for 90 days felt so hard was that the first week was miserable and I had no idea what to expect for the next 3 months.So I want you to have the information I didn’t have when I was in the drinking cycle. I asked Courtney Andersen, a Sober Coach, Podcast Host, and Author of Sober Vibes, A Guide To Your First 3 Months Without Alcohol to help me break down exactly what to expect in your first 90 days of sobriety.For full shownotes and access resources mentioned in the episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/1753 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 174: 3 Stages of Relapse + How To Protect Your Sobriety
Once you’ve gotten a period of time alcohol-free, how do you protect your sobriety and avoid relapse?It’s a question I get all the time from my sober coaching clients and one I have personal experience navigating, both successfully and unsuccessfully.I know from personal experience and from working with hundreds of women in private coaching that coming back to sobriety after a relapse is not easy or guaranteed, so I want to give you the tools to prevent a relapse before it happens and to make it easier to get sober momentum again if you do start drinking. And so I asked Angela Pugh, a master life coach with 15 years working in addiction and recovery as an interventionist and trainer and the host of the Addiction Unlimited Podcast to explore the three stages of relapse: emotional, mental and physical, how to recognize each and how to utilize new coping skills to stay on the alcohol-free path instead of going back to drinking.

Ep. 173: How Alcohol Companies Target Women Through Marketing, Influencers and Social Media
Have you ever wondered why you drink what you drink? Why is red wine best paired with steak and white wine the right choice in warm weather? Why is champagne the appropriate choice for weddings and beer is best for a ballgame? What does it mean about you if you order a cosmopolitan vs. a gin and tonic at a bar and why are there entire articles written about what a woman’s drink says about her?So many of our cultural beliefs about alcohol have been driven by the alcohol industry. Alcohol companies target women to affect our beliefs and choices through sophisticated marketing, influencer campaigns and precise social media placements. The wine, beer and spirits industry spends big bucks and a lot of time and energy to understand, reach and influence what we drink, how often we drink and our preferences for different types of alcohol.Companies pay for focus groups, influencer placements and brand sponsorships to drive our beliefs about what drinking does for us (and what it means about us) so that we will increase our consumption of a highly addictive substance.

Ep. 172: How Ambitious Women Can Have It All Without Doing It All
Are you trying to do it all and losing yourself in the process? I know what that’s like. When I was drinking I was completely overwhelmed by my schedule and responsibilities and saw drinking as my one reward.I felt like I was barely holding it together each day with the demands of my career and my family, paying the bills and the mortgage, trying to maintain friendships and a strong marriage, along with the doctor’s appointments, camp schedules, figuring out what’s for dinner and all the rest. If your life feels like mine did, it’s no wonder we reach for the bottle of wine to try to smooth out the edges at the end of the day. Once I put down the wine glass I was able to finally see clearly that my love affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage my responsibilities. So today I want to give you the tools (and the permission) to stop doing all the things and start doing the right things. My guest is Melissa Leon, a mom who climbed the corporate ladder with three young kids and was drinking too much to escape it all, until she decided to stop.For full shownotes and to access resources mentioned in this episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/1723 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 171: Why I Don’t Use The Word “Alcoholic” To Describe Myself (Or Anyone Else)
Here’s something that I get asked about often but don’t talk about much: why I don’t use the term “alcoholic” to describe myself or anyone else.It’s funny because as a sober coach, the host of a popular sobriety podcast and a person who has been immersed in the world of addiction and recovery for the last 10 years, I should be the poster girl for being comfortable using the terms alcoholic and alcoholism. I have spent hundreds of hours talking about women and drinking, alcohol and our society, addiction and different paths to recovery. I’ve attended sober retreats, recovery conferences, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and have participated in all kinds of online groups and in person gatherings of people going alcohol-free.I also have many friends in the recovery space who use the term alcoholic to describe themselves proudly.
