Midlife can be challenging. There are so many changes going on along with our everyday responsibilities. Because of this overwhelm, some women turn to alcohol to help themselves cope.

If you’re struggling with alcohol misuse or any form of addiction, then I urge you to listen to this life-altering episode with Lori Massicot. She is a Sober Lifestyle coach for women over 40. Lori is an inspiration and her passion for helping women thrive is fascinating.

In this episode, we’re going to take a deep dive on why women begin drinking in the first place, why numbing yourself will only backfire in the long-run, the stigma and shame that women go through in terms of addiction, and why there’s always hope that women can change their lives.

Episode Highlights:

• Why Lori started an anonymous IG  account in 2015
• Why she started drinking at a young age
• Drinking as a coping mechanism to escape problems
• Why she and her husband decided to go sober
• Alcohol consumption as normalcy in society
• The link between self-esteem and alcohol addiction
• Her social group’s reaction to her sobriety
• Why quitting drinking is only the first step
• How to create a life where you don’t need to drink
• Why you need to go sober ASAP
• The importance of opening dialogue and vulnerability
• Her advice to women struggling with drinking
• Lori’s plans in the next three to five years
• What she would tell her younger self
