#95 Embracing Sobriety At Midlife with Hannah Sherlock


Listen Later

It was during midlife and menopause when things started to unravel for photographer,  DJ, and good friend Hannah Sherlock.

This week, I’m thrilled to chat openly and candidly with Hannah, who generously shares her experiences about her unhealthy, yet transformative relationship with alcohol.

Hannah vulnerably walks us through a rock bottom moment that became a catalyst for seeking the necessary help to reclaim control over her life.

When we recorded this episode, it was exactly 3 years to the day since Hannah had her last drink!  It is such a joy to see Hannah loving sobriety - I’m so so proud of her!

Tune in to gain insights into:

🌟 The potential impact of alcohol, particularly during perimenopause

🌟 The transformative power of seeking help.

🌟 The joy that comes with embracing sobriety.

If your relationship with alcohol has changed or if you’re sober curious, this episode is a must listen. 💖
