Welcome to More Than the Glass — a podcast for mums who are questioning their relationship with alcohol and quietly craving something more.

In this very first episode, Gillian and Karen introduce the heart behind the podcast and the story behind Our Circle — a space supporting women to take a break from alcohol, drink less, reconnect with themselves, and create a life they no longer feel the need to escape from.

This is not about labels, judgement, or needing to hit rock bottom. It’s an honest conversation about motherhood, mental load, wine o’clock culture, grey area drinking, and why so many mums feel exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in survival mode.

Whether you’re sober curious, thinking about taking a break from drinking, or simply wondering why alcohol doesn’t feel the same anymore, you are so welcome here.

Because we deserve more.
