What happens when the social glass of wine becomes more than a casual habit? I engage in an enlightening conversation with Jenn Kautsch from Sober Sis, unravelling the complex relationship between women and alcohol. We offer actionable insights on how alcohol impacts women differently than men, emphasizing the power of community support and the importance of mindset in navigating these challenges. Sober Sis creates a safe, judgment-free space for introspection and growth.

Midlife often prompts us to reassess our habits and identities beyond societal roles, and this episode encourages women to question if their behaviours genuinely serve them. Jenn and I explore the concept of "hangxiety," the intertwined nature of smoking and drinking, and the marketing myths that keep us trapped in unhealthy cycles. We challenge listeners to shift their focus from wondering if a habit is "bad enough" to asking if it aligns with their true aspirations, promoting a journey towards a more mindful and intentional lifestyle.

Whether through a 21-day challenge or simply by engaging with a supportive community, the conversation emphasizes that it's never too late to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal transformation.
