Stop Drinking and Start Living- The Feminine Way

Sobriety in Perimenopause: Your Unbothered, Unapologetic Era


Listen Later

Are you wondering why alcohol doesn't work for you the way it used to?
Your body might be signaling a profound transformation – perimenopause. As a holistic alcohol coach working with women for over five years, I’ve discovered that this transitional phase requires a sacred pause from alcohol to truly understand what’s happening within.

Perimenopause literally means "the time before the pausing of the month/moon" – it’s a threshold experience inviting you into an unbothered, unapologetic era of your life. 

But here's the crucial insight: you cannot navigate this transition effectively while alcohol is in your system. It creates an imbalance on top of an already fluctuating hormonal landscape, making it impossible to gather accurate data about your changing body.

Key Takeaways:

  • Perimenopause is a transformational phase that alcohol can distort.
  • Alcohol disrupts hormonal balance, masking the signals your body is trying to send.
  • Shifting your perspective from "problem" to "possibility" helps you navigate change with ease.
  • The same tools that help you quit alcohol also support you through perimenopause: awareness, body literacy, and perspective shifts.
  • Taking a sacred pause from alcohol allows you to reconnect with your true self in this new phase of life.
