Two bottles of wine a night doesn’t start as a plan. It starts as relief. I’m talking about the moment social drinking quietly becomes at-home drinking, then nightly drinking, and the awful loop that follows: you drink because you don’t feel good, then you don’t feel good because you’re drinking. If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “This isn’t me”, you’ll feel seen here.
I share what was really going on underneath my alcohol use in my 40s: a marriage breaking down, feeling overwhelmed at work, losing touch with who I was, and being pulled into a relationship that messed with my head. What I used to call a midlife crisis, I now call a midlife awakening, because it became the catalyst for coming home to myself. We dig into the uncomfortable but freeing questions sobriety brings up: who am I, what do I want, what do I believe about myself, and why do I keep choosing what hurts?
We also get practical about what helps you stay alcohol-free without shame or blame. I explain why quitting drinking doesn’t magically fix everything, it creates space to see what needs healing: beliefs, stories, boundaries, core wounds and relationship patterns. I talk about nervous system regulation and somatic techniques, because when you remove alcohol you start to feel everything, and your body needs support to cope.
If you’re sober curious, stuck in nightly wine, or wondering if you’ve missed your chance, I want you to hear this clearly: you are not broken and you don’t have to figure it all out before you begin.
