Ep. 116: Perimenopause, Burnout & Alcohol
If you’re a woman in your 40s you’re likely both moving into perimenopause hormonally and also navigating one of the busiest times of your life. If you’re also using alcohol to ease the symptoms of burnout and perimenopause the combination can lead to a vicious cycle of heightened anxiety and physical and emotional exhaustion.You might notice that the symptoms of perimenopause are similar to those of alcohol withdrawal and burnout. In fact, alcohol can intensify the more severe symptoms of anxiety and depression experienced in perimenopause. Drinking alcohol also disturbs sleep and women who drink daily are much more likely to experience hot flashes and night sweats. The good news is that if you’re experiencing perimenopause symptoms you’re not alone and you can tap into better ways to cope than drinking through it. My guest today is Wendy McCallum, LLB. Wendy is a Burnout and Alcohol Coach & Wellness Expert and the host of the Bite-Sized Balance Podcast. She’s here to share the many different paths to recovery from burnout, recovery from alcohol and for moving through perimenopause with more ease and less stress.For full show notes and resources mentioned in the episode, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/116 Ready to drink less + live more?Take my FREE MASTERCLASS on Five Secrets To Taking a Break From DrinkingSign up here to save your seat: https://hellosomedaycoaching.com/class If you’re ready to change your relationship with alcohol join The Sobriety Starter Kit.

Ep. 114: Alcohol, Insomnia + Sleep In Sobriety
What questions do you have about alcohol, insomnia and sleep in sobriety? You might be wondering…
Does alcohol help you get to sleep?
What contributes to good sleep?
Why am I so tired in early sobriety?
What can I do if I can’t sleep early sobriety?
When will I start sleeping well after I stop drinking?
So here’s the big question: does alcohol help you sleep? Nope. Alcohol is a sedative that makes you feel sleepy, but it actually significantly decreases your sleep quality (and leads directly to those awful 3am hangxiety wake ups). In fact, a Sleep Foundation study found that for women less than one drink decreases your sleep quality by 9.3%, one drink decreases your sleep quantity by 24% and more than one drink decreases your sleep quality by 39.2%.

Ep. 113: 20 NEW Questions To Ask Yourself About Your Drinking
A lot of women who are worried about their drinking start asking themselves one question: “Am I an Alcoholic?”. The questions that you typically find on an online “Am I An Alcoholic” Quiz are often the wrong questions. Ones that can keep you trapped in the drinking cycle for a long time.The truth is that you don’t need to ask yourself if you’re an “alcoholic” or if you “really have a problem” or if your drinking is “bad enough” that you have to stop to change your relationship with alcohol. My guest today is Deb Masner, founder of the Alcohol Tipping Point and host of The Alcohol Tipping Point Podcast. Deb is going to take us through the 20 questions you should be asking yourself to change your drinking.

Ep. 112: Create A Better Life Without Alcohol
When you’re stopping drinking it’s pretty normal to focus on what you're giving because alcohol is involved in most of your social activities, hobbies and relationships. When I was a ‘red wine girl’ alcohol was a part of cooking dinner, evenings on the couch, date nights, girls nights, work happy hours, Sunday brunches, afternoons at the ballpark, vacations and everything in between. In order to create a better life without alcohol it’s important to add new things to your life that bring you peace, happiness and pleasure when you are removing alcohol. Lori Massicot, midlife sobriety coach and host of the To 50 And Beyond Podcast, has joined me to talk about how to create a better life without alcohol, how to use your time away from alcohol as a period of discovery, why setting boundaries will help you find time to explore new hobbies, and so much more!

Ep. 108: Sober Awkward
Is the fear of feeling awkward in social situations keeping you from trying sober life? I get it. When I was stopped drinking I felt awkward in every part of my life - going to a bar and ordering a non-alcoholic drink, turning down a glass of wine at a friend house, making small talk at a work event without my social lubricant, telling people I wasn’t drinking and let’s not even talk about sober sex! When you stop drinking it can be surprising to realize just how much you’ve relied on alcohol to navigate uncomfortable moments, conversations and social interactions (even with people you love and have known for years)! But you can navigate sober life without feeling awkward - it just takes a bit of practice. Today I'm talking with Victoria Vanstone, co-host of Australia's most popular sobriety podcast, Sober Awkward. Vic is an alcohol free living advocate and passionate about helping others stuck in a pattern of normalized social binge drinking.

Ep. 107: Living With A Partner Who Drinks When You’re Sober
Today we're talking about living with a partner who drinks when you're sober. Maybe your husband or partner is your drinking buddy and going to a bar or sharing drinks at the end of the day is the way you connect and celebrate. Maybe your partner loves drinking too and is resistant to getting the alcohol out of the house. Or perhaps your partner tells you that you “don’t really have a problem”, “are being too hard on yourself” or “should just cut back a bit”. Maybe you don’t want your partner to know how worried you are about your drinking so you want to do this on your own and under the radar. Or perhaps you’ve told your partner that you’re going to take a break from drinking before and then thrown in the towel on Day 5 or Week 2. You might be afraid to tell them you’re trying again because you’re worried you’re just going to fail. Whatever your relationship with your partner is like, if you both drink it’s often deeply intertwined with alcohol.
