What do Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte + Miranda from Sex And The City, Bridget Jones and Olivia Pope on Scandal have in common? Their shows, characters, sets and plot lines romanticize and glamorize alcohol. TV shows and movies have taught all of us from a very young age that drinking is empowering, sophisticated, fun and ‘the thing’ that modern, independent women do. Through marketing, media and the culture we have been raised in we’re taught that alcohol is both good and necessary and that it should be put on a pedestal. We see drinking as a privilege of adulthood and believe that drinking makes us sophisticated and sexy and also helps us connect and relax. On the flip side we’re taught that life without alcohol is less exciting, undesirable or something that only people with a “real problem” with alcohol would choose. And we’re convinced that life without drinking is difficult, dull and boring. None of which could be further from the truth. Life without alcohol is fun, exciting, healthy and happy. But those ingrained, subconscious or even unconscious beliefs can hold you back when you’re trying to shift your relationship with alcohol. They sabotage your efforts to get healthy and talk about what you’re doing in an empowering way. They hold you back from feeling better and draw you back into old habits that keep you stuck. My guest today is Kate Bee, founder of The Sober School, and we’re talking about how to STOP romanticizing alcohol and START romanticizing sobriety.For full show notes, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/83 Ready to drink less + live more?Take my FREE CLASS on 5 Secrets To Successfully Take a Break From DrinkingJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit.

If you’re like most women you have a lot of fears and limiting beliefs about what life without alcohol will be like. You might worry that life without happy hours will be boring. Or that people will judge you if you stop drinking. You might believe that the ONLY people who don’t drink are alcoholics or have a “real problem” with alcohol. Or fear that you’ll lose friends and never have fun again if you quit drinking.These negative thoughts around life without alcohol are keeping you from finding out if you might actually be happier, healthier and more confident without booze. Your beliefs are keeping you stuck in a holding pattern.My guest today is Karolina Rzadkowolska. She is a certified alcohol-free life coach who helps powerful women make alcohol insignificant in their lives. She’s worked with thousands of clients through her online courses and coaching to change their drinking habit and unleash a new level of health, happiness, and potential to go after their biggest dreams.Karolina and I are diving deep into the fears and beliefs that are holding you back from removing alcohol from your life and the truths about how amazing it is to live without alcohol.For full show notes, go to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/82 Ready to drink less + live more?Take my FREE CLASS on 5 Secrets To Successfully Take a Break From Drinking Join The Sobriety Starter Kit.

Have you ever wondered why you crave alcohol?  Why do you feel happier when you know you’re going to drink? And why do you feel irritable, restless and discontented when you don’t drink or you’re trying to take a break?

Have you been going back and forth about whether you should take a break from drinking but don’t check all the boxes for a person who had a “real problem” with alcohol? That’s the case for a lot of high-achieving women.  We think that having a problem with alcohol is black or white. Either you fall into the category of someone who is an alcoholic or has a drinking problem, or you don’t. And heavy drinking is 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. You don’t have to have a drinking problem to have a problematic relationship with alcohol. A lot of women fall into the category of “gray area drinking”, between the extremes of having negative consequences from alcohol consumption and being able to take it or leave it on occasion. And there are a number of early, subtle signs that signal you should take a break from alcohol. My guest today is Janet Gourand, the founder of Tribe Sober. Janet and I are going to dig into 30 early signs you can pick up on, things you might think, feel or do, that signal it’s time to reevaluate your relationship with drinking. For full show notes, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/77 Here's how I can support you in taking a break from alcoholTake my FREE CLASS on 5 Secrets To Successfully Take a Break From DrinkingJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit.

Do you drink a lot and also feel physically and emotionally burned out?  Maybe your life feels unmanageable, work stress is constant, you’re sleeping terribly, tired, empty, unmotivated, overwhelmed or mentally exhausted. The physical and emotional symptoms of burnout often go hand in hand with alcohol use and abuse, and the signs and symptoms of burnout can mimic those of hangovers and alcohol withdrawal.  Physical symptoms of burnout can include headaches, neck tension, digestive upset and sleep issues and people experiencing burnout may also feel physical and emotional exhaustion, cynicism and detachment, and a feeling of purposelessness. Drinking alcohol can not only exacerbate burnout but also make it difficult to recognize, treat and heal burnout.  My guest today is Cait Donovan and we’re talking about “Burnout 101”. She’s going to help us identify burnout and understand how to separate it from the effects of drinking and alcohol withdrawal and identify ways to heal and recover. For full show notes, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/76 Take my FREE TRAINING on 5 Secrets To Successfully Take a Break From Drinking Join The Sobriety Starter Kit.

“For women, moving away from behaviors that don’t work for us anymore, letting go of core beliefs that convince us we’re broken and not enough, laying a stake in the ground around our desires, is an act of making noise”. - Andrea Owen Have you ever received the message that you’re “too much”? Too loud, too opinionated, too sensitive or emotional, too talkative, too big, too something… As women, we’ve been socialized since birth to smile, make others comfortable, go along and get along, be helpful and put other people’s needs before our own. And a lot of the time we don’t even consciously realize this is happening.  But repeating these behaviors, over months and years, can lead to resentment, poor boundary-setting, people-pleasing, approval-seeking, lashing out, negative self- talk, and unnecessary apologizing. My guest today is Andrea Owen. She’s an author, global speaker, and professional certified life coach who helps high-achieving women maximize unshakeable confidence, and master resilience.  Andrea’s taught hundreds of thousands of women tools and strategies to be able to empower themselves to live their most kick-ass life through speaking, her books, coaching, and her wildly popular podcast with over 3 million downloads. She is the proud author of three books: How To Stop Feeling Like Shit: 14 Habits That Are Holding You Back From Happiness, 52 Ways to Live a Kick-Ass Life: BS Free Wisdom to Ignite Your Inner Badass and Live the Life You Deserve, and her latest book, Make Some Noise: Speak Your Mind and Own Your Strength.  Today I’m talking with Andrea about common behavior patterns that sabotage our power as women and how to unlearn what we’ve been taught so that we can create a life that serves our needs and desires. For full show notes, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/75 Sign up for my FREE CLASS: 5 Secrets To Successfully Take a Break From Drinking (even if you’ve tried and failed in the past) Connect with CaseyFind out more about Casey and her coaching programs, head over to her website, www.hellosomedaycoaching.com
