Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Amelia and Emily Nagoski is a book for every woman who has felt overwhelmed and exhausted by everything she has to do, and yet is still worried that she’s not doing enough. Which basically describes every woman I know. As an ex-red wine girl, the first story of a woman experiencing burnout felt all too familiar.

Ep. 119: Recovery Is The New Black
The Hello Someday Podcast
Is recovery the new black? Is sober becoming the new cool? With the rise in the sober-curious movement, Dry January and Sober October, sober influencers and the growth in the non-alcoholic drinks movement it seems like sobriety is all the rage. Articles in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes and stories on The Today Show and in wellness and fashion magazines are increasingly referencing “the sober curious movement” - the rise of people experimenting with sobriety for mental and physical health reasons and do not consider themselves addicted to a substance.

Ep. 118: How To Be A Mindful Drinker
The Hello Someday Podcast
What does it mean to be a “mindful drinker”? , and how you use alcohol to relate to the people around you. Mindful drinkers notice, learn and ultimately take control of their drinking. Today I'm welcoming Laura Willoughby, the co-founder of Club Soda, the mindful drinking movement. Club Soda’s mission is to make mindful drinking widely accepted so that everyone feels confident to change their drinking habits if they want to and to make sure that people who aren’t drinking alcohol are just as comfortable as drinkers who are, especially in social spaces where...

Ep. 117: The Problem With Using Alcohol To Joke About Parenting
The Hello Someday Podcast
It’s time to stop using alcohol to joke about parenting. If you look up for a minute you’ll see the wine mom humor all around you. On birthday cards at grocery stores, on cute hand towels and wood signs in home decor shops and everywhere on Etsy. “They Whine. I Wine”, “Mom’s Reasons To Drink: My 3 Kids”, “Mommy’s Sippy Cup”, “Mom Juice”, “It takes a village and a vineyard”, “This mom runs on coffee, wine and Amazon Prime”... Funny, right? Or not so much. My guest today is Blair Sharp. Blair wrote . She’s here to talk about why the wine mom culture...

Ep. 116: Perimenopause, Burnout & Alcohol
The Hello Someday Podcast
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...

Ep. 114: Alcohol, Insomnia + Sleep In Sobriety
The Hello Someday Podcast
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, found...

The Hello Someday Podcast
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.

Ep. 112: Create A Better Life Without Alcohol
The Hello Someday Podcast
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....
