Ep. 160: Aligning Your Core Values with Alcohol-Free Life
In this episode, we explore the topic of how to identify your personal core values and use them to reinforce your decision to live an alcohol-free life in a positive and meaningful way that sustains your sobriety over the long-term. Core values are fundamental beliefs that can guide our behavior and decision-making in life. They serve as a compass, giving us direction and helping us to prioritize what is truly important and meaningful in our lives. Once you know your own personal core values you can use them to evaluate how you’re spending your time, money and energy as well as using them to make decisions. For example, you can ask yourself “Does this move, job, habit, behavior, connection or decision bring me closer to my values or take me further away?” Identifying your core values is important personal development work to do when you decide to stop drinking.For full show notes and to access resources mentioned in this episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/160Ready to drink less + live more?Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 157: How To Use Positive Discipline To Ease The Stress Of Parenting
Parenting young children can be wonderful, fulfilling, frustrating and exhausting. People will tell you “the days are long but the years are short”, but when you’ve got a toddler melting down at the end of the day it’s easy to want to escape by opening a bottle of wine. Wine mom culture exists because being a mom is hard. For a lot of us pouring a big glass of wine is the “easy button” to numb out from overwhelming situations and responsibilities. I got into the habit of drinking to reward myself for getting through the day, to transition from work to home and to shut down once the kids go to bed before doing it all again. But since alcohol is easy to get, highly addictive and embedded in our culture it’s not difficult for a glass of wine to turn into a bottle.Parenting is hard, but alcohol isn’t the answer.

Ep. 156: Does Alcohol Help You Sleep?
If you've ever wondered whether alcohol helps you sleep, why you wake up in the middle of the night after drinking or how much alcohol messes up your sleep, this episode is for you. Some people believe that drinking helps them go to sleep. Since alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, it causes brain activity to slow down which can feel relaxing. But while alcohol may make you feel sleepy initially, it wreaks havoc on your sleep for the rest of the night. Drinking decreases the amount of time spent in deep sleep, which is the most restorative phase of the sleep cycle, and increases the frequency of awakenings during the night.Alcohol can also exacerbate or cause sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, and interfere with the body's natural production of hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate sleep and wakefulness.If you drink nightly or even drink just a few nights a week, you probably have not had a good night of sleep in years.For full show notes and resources mentioned in this episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/156Ready to drink less + live more?Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 155: The Original Sobriety Podcast For Women - The Bubble Hour
10 years ago, when I was first questioning my relationship with alcohol and trying to stop drinking, I discovered The Bubble Hour Sobriety Podcast.On The Bubble Hour I heard real people, telling real stories about addiction and recovery. When I was first trying to get a handle on my nightly bottle of wine drinking habit, I didn’t know a single person who was sober. All of my friends drank, my husband drank, and I had so many fears about what people would think if I stopped drinking, what my life would be like and how I would relax, socialize and celebrate without alcohol.On The Bubble Hour sobriety podcast I found hope in the stories of women like me. Over the last 10 years the Bubble Hour released over 300 episodes about addiction and recovery from drinking and was downloaded 4.2 million times. And today my guest is the host of The Bubble Hour Podcast, Jean McCarthy.For full shownotes and to access resources mentioned in the episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/155Ready to drink less + live more?Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Ep. 154: 5 Types Of Perfectionism And How To Make Them Work For You
Why do so many self-described perfectionists, bright, ambitious and hardworking women, feel like something is wrong with them? Why are women taught that perfectionism is a flaw to be managed?Why are perfectionists so hard on themselves?And how can ambitious achievers, striving towards the ideal, find peace and self-compassion while continuing to embrace their perfectionism? I wanted to dive into all these questions with my guest today, Katherine Morgan Schafler, because I both identify as a perfectionist and work with a lot of perfectionists: high-achieving, successful women who use alcohol as a way to disconnect from the anxiety and overwhelm of their lives.
