The Hello Someday Podcast For Sober Curious Women

In early sobriety, sober treats are important, not an indulgence. Don’t underestimate their power, because sober treats are essential to helping you both stop drinking and keep going once willpower runs out and motivation fades When you’re walking away from drinking you need your time without alcohol to feel rewarding and kind - not like a punishment or deprivation. And most of all you need sober treats because you’ve been stuck in a “reward rut” for way too long. After decades of 'adulting' often our universe of rewards and pleasure options have shrunk to the equivalent of ‘bars and bakeries’ (alcohol and sugar).   Hard day? Wine.  Promotion at work? Wine.  Friday night date? Wine.  Kids being hard? Wine.  A few hours to yourself? Wine.  Anxious? Overwhelmed? Lonely? Wine.  You deserve more.Sober treats will open your imagination and help you find and enjoy new sources of pleasure and comfort.Today, I am diving into how to quit drinking without deprivation or relying on willpower by using sober treats.  For full show notes, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/58 Are you ready to add The Sobriety Starter Kit course to your sober toolkit?Here’s everything that’s inside the course8 coaching modules with 50 video lessons + all the supporting materials, including The Mistakes Women Make In Trying To Stop Drinking The Fundamentals of Building Your Sober Foundation The Quick Start Guide To Your First 2 Weeks Mapping out your Reason, Vision, Habits, Triggers, Environment + Support How to Break Out The Drinking Cycle Using The 4 Laws of Behavior Change Building Sober Muscles + Momentum  Navigating Sobriety Challenges - Labels, Other People, Drinking Events, The Mommy Wine Culture, Boredom, PAWS, Avoiding 'Pre-Lapse' and Restarting Quickly If You Drink To 100 Days and Beyond - Creating A Life You Love Click here to get all the details and sign up now.  More resources mentioned in the episodeGrab my favorite non-alcoholic beverages from Gruvi and The Athletic Brewing Company Connect with CaseyFind out more about Casey and her coaching programs, head over to her website, www.hellosomedaycoaching.comTake a screenshot of your favorite episode, post it on your Instagram and tag me @caseymdavidson and tell me your biggest takeaway!

We all have negative thoughts at times and often can be our own worst critics. And if you have a tendency to be hard on yourself, the automatic thoughts you have can have a big impact on your emotions and the way you experience and interpret the world around you. It’s normal to feel sadness, anger, worry and loneliness at times. But getting stuck in negative thought patterns can trigger heightened feelings of anxiety, fear, self-pity, and insecurity.  The good news is that you can learn to identify and challenge automatic negative thoughts, which can relieve stress, self-doubt and let you feel significantly more confident and positive. Today, my guest Shelby John is here to talk about understanding our negative thought patterns. Shelby is a mom, wife, and entrepreneur. She's been sober since July 2002 and her own recovery journey led her to become a social worker, trained in trauma therapy, coaching techniques and other clinical skills. As a therapist, Shelby helps women heal their past trauma, using EMDR. therapy. Online, she gets to guide them into building the confidence they need to love their lives beyond recovery.For the full episode show notes and all links and resources mentioned in the podcast visit hellosomedaycoaching.com/54 Want more support, resources and tools to help you go alcohol-free?You can Drink Less + Live More today with The Sobriety Starter Kit.

Let's talk about sugar, diets and early sobriety.This topic comes up all the time with women who are trying to stop drinking because they’re fearful of replacing overconsumption of alcohol with food.Common advice in early sobriety is to let go of your ‘food rules’, go ahead and eat the Peanut M&Ms, have dessert and don’t get too hungry. But a lot of women resist this advice.Instead, they try to combine their efforts to stop drinking with a new eating program or diet, only to find in a few weeks that they’ve gone back to drinking and are starting the whole process again. There are also other reasons to stay away from dieting and I’ve got the perfect guest to talk about it all. Ingrid Michelsen Miller is a Diet Recovery and Weight-Neutral Life Coach who helps women find freedom from binging and weight-cycling. Ingrid was one of the first friends I met in early sobriety and we quit drinking just 60 days apart. Over the last 5 years, we’ve navigated life without alcohol together (and the day this episode goes live, April 15th, 2021, is Ingrid’s 5 Year Soberversary!) In this episode, Ingrid and I dive into diet culture: what it is and what it does to us, why we should let go of food rules in early sobriety, and the reason that trying to make our bodies smaller is counterproductive.For the full episode show notes and all links and resources mentioned in the podcast visit hellosomedaycoaching.com/53 Want more support, resources and tools to help you go alcohol-free?You can Drink Less + Live More today with The Sobriety Starter Kit.

Did you know that you can live alcohol-free and still enjoy your life?You can still be social, still hang out with your friends who drink and also transform internally. You can let go of the things in your life that aren’t serving you, but also keep the people and activities that bring you joy. You can have everything you’ve always wanted. That’s what we’re talking about today, embracing an alcohol-free lifestyle without assuming a label. My guest today is Kayla Lyons.

Let’s talk about the fact that most women who realize that they have a problematic relationship with alcohol don’t actually ‘want’ to stop drinking. Most of us had a lot of good times drinking over the years. At one point drinking was a lot of fun, and sometimes it still is. We had amazing vacations, girl’s nights and romantic date nights with alcohol. And even though you might be worried about your drinking, and are tired of headaches and hangovers, you likely don’t actually want to stop completely. You probably can’t imagine your life without happy hours and wine tastings. And here’s the good news: you don’t have to ‘want’ to stop drinking to take an extended break from it and discover that life without alcohol is actually happier, healthier, more satisfying and more fun than it was when you were drinking. My guest today is Camille Kinzler. Camille is an alcohol-free lifestyle/habits expert who is passionate about helping women who wake up at 3 am saying “I wish I didn’t have that last glass of wine...again” (re)learn how to destress, unwind, and connect instead of instinctively reaching for their go-to cocktail. Camille and I are going to talk about all the strategies that can help you stop drinking (even though you still want to). In this episode, Camille and I discuss: Why deciding to take a break from alcohol for 100 days is more useful than a ‘one day at a time’ approach or telling yourself that you’re stopping drinking ‘forever’ How to switch up your evening routine and interrupt the patterns you’ve built around drinking Why it’s OK to mourn the loss of alcohol. You don’t actually need to kill the ‘want’ of drinking, you just have to kill the ‘yes’ Why this process is less about removing the alcohol and more about wanting more for your life and getting over the fear of change. Focusing on the vision of the person you want to be and the life you want to live is a powerful motivator The Cozy Method of creating sustainable habit and lifestyle change Consistency - Creating new habits and rituals Ownership - Taking accountability for where you are, the habits you’ve created, recognizing what you need and asking for it Zooming In & Out - Asking yourself who you want to be in this world and looking at the habits and behaviors that you’re practicing to get you to that goal Yes - Evaluating the commitments that you’re taking on and realizing that if it isn’t a ‘Hell Yes’ then its a No. Learn to set healthy boundaries  About Camille Kinzler Camille is an alcohol-free lifestyle/habits expert with a Master’s in Science and Physician Assistant (PA) Studies. She is passionate about helping women who wake up at 3 am saying “I wish I didn’t have that last glass of wine...again” (re)learn how to destress, unwind, and connect instead of instinctively reaching for their go-to cocktail.
