Episode Title: Nobody Warned Us About Alcohol After 40

Publish Date: 05/27/2026

Hosted by: Jenn Schofield + Jodi Ross

Brand: Danz Insanity Studios

Episode Summary

This week, Jenn and Jodi are getting real about alcohol, aging, and the way your body starts responding very differently after 40. What used to feel relaxing and social now comes with sleep disruption, headaches, anxiety, and a recovery time that feels wildly unfair. The conversation dives into how alcohol became so normalized in social culture, the marketing behind “wine mom” aesthetics, and the emotional habits many people build around drinking without even realizing it.

The episode also explores moderation, changing priorities, wellness culture, and the awkward reality of realizing your body simply doesn’t tolerate things the way it used to. Jenn and Jodi keep it honest, funny, and relatable while talking through their own experiences, questioning what’s actually worth it anymore, and unpacking the social pressure tied to drinking culture. It’s candid, self-aware, and probably a conversation a lot more people are having privately than publicly.
