Welcome to the Hello Sunday podcast, the podcast for busy women who are ready to drink less and live more.

I'm Casey McGuire Davidson, ex-red wine girl turned life coach, helping women create lives they love without alcohol.

But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle

of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,

helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love

affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage

my responsibilities. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets of creating

and living a life you don't want to escape from. Each week, I'll bring you tools, lessons,

and conversations to help you drink less and live more.

I'll teach you how to navigate our drinking-obsessed culture without a buzz,

how to sit with your emotions when you're lonely or angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed,

how to self-soothe without a drink, and how to turn the decision to stop drinking from your

worst-case scenario to the best decision of your life.

I am so glad you're here.

Now let's get started.

Hey, it's Casey.

If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking but keep pushing it off, this is your

sign to do something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink

last night? I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that

next big event or maybe next month.

But here's the thing.

Waiting doesn't make it easier.
