Hey mama—feeling stuck in the cycle of wine o’clock, regret, repeat? If you’re wondering how to stop alcohol drinking but the idea of never drinking again feels overwhelming (or downright impossible), you are so not alone. In this episode, I’m walking you through my brand new Flourish Journal—a free resource packed with gentle, shame-free prompts to help you explore your relationship with alcohol.
I’m also sharing my own personal answers to some of the journal’s toughest questions—like what I thought I’d miss, what I was actually afraid of, and how motherhood monotony played a huge role in my drinking habits. It’s honest, it’s personal, and it’s exactly the kind of heart-to-heart I wish I’d had when I was starting out.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
My go-to excuse for drinking after work—and what I’ve learned since quitting
The emotional (and hilarious) truth behind my mom moment of the week
How I romanticized alcohol and what I was really trying to escape
What I thought I’d lose—and what I’ve actually gained—by cutting out alcohol
How societal messages around drinking and motherhood keep us stuck
A sneak peek at the Flourish Journal prompts and my personal reflections
Why stopping drinking is about more than just willpower—it’s about support, too
