Summary

What’s the image that comes to mind when you hear the phrase “wine mom”?  In popular culture she’s portrayed as a woman with small children, barely getting through the day and reaching for a glass of wine at night to ease the stress of parenthood. Or maybe she’s a soccer mom with a tumbler of wine on the sidelines or escaping the kids for the night at a book club meeting with girlfriends and lots and lots of wine.   The idea that being a modern mom means you are “surviving motherhood one glass of wine at a time” is everywhere.  As a mother, I know firsthand the immense pressures that come with the territory of parenting. From managing the household to juggling kids' schedules and addressing their emotional needs, the mental load of motherhood can often feel overwhelming.  The truth is that moms need support for the physical and emotional labor of parenting, not an unhealthy coping mechanism of downing an addictive substance. 3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.  My proven, step-by-step sober coaching program will teach you exactly how to stop drinking — and how to make it the best decision of your life.

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

0:10.2

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

0:18.4

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

0:22.9

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

0:28.6

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

0:35.0

of faith was making me more anxious and less able to manage my

0:38.9

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

0:45.6

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

0:51.9

and conversations to help you drink less and live more.

0:55.9

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

1:07.9

drink, and how to turn the decision to stop drinking from your worst case

1:12.4

scenario to the best decision of your life. I am so glad you're here. Now let's get started.

1:20.0

Hey, it's Casey. If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking but keep pushing it

1:26.5

off, this is your sign to do something

1:29.8

different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink last night? I wasn't

1:35.8

even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that next big event or maybe

1:43.2

next month. But here's the thing. Waiting doesn't make

1:47.7

it easier. What does? A game plan that actually works. That's why I want you to come join me in my

1:55.2

free master class, five secrets to successfully take a break from drinking, even if you've tried and failed before.

2:04.3

In this free class, I'm going to show you why your past attempts haven't worked and what to do instead.

2:11.3

The mindset shifts you need to make this break feel doable and even exciting.
