Summary

Worrying about your drinking is a lonely and dark place to be, especially in midlife when women often feel stressed out, unfulfilled and lonely. And that’s where my guest, Lori Massicot, says she lived for too long. At 45 Lori says she was an over-drinker, overeater, "sky is falling" type of gal who, after questioning her drinking for two years, finally decided to stop drinking. And then she discovered all the possibilities available to her now that she no longer spent her evenings on the couch drinking. Lori is now a life coach specializing in sobriety, mindset transformation and holistic wellness for women over 40 and hosts the podcast To 50 And Beyond. Being sober has given Lori a second chance at life and enabled her to become who she genuinely is, without the façade she was trying to keep up with for decades. In this episode, Lori and I explore: Why more and more women are deciding to stop drinking at age 40, 50 and 60 How “aging sober” empowers women to live healthier, happier and more confident lives. Why midlife is a good time to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol as you look to the decades ahead The perimenopause journey and how to get beyond it sober The correlation between drinking and weight gain in midlife How women’s wellness after 40 is improved by being alcohol-free SHOWNOTES: www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/41 About Lori Massicot Lori is a Life Coach specializing in sobriety, mindset transformation, and holistic wellness for women over 40.

0:00.0	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 bottle
0:23.1	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	affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to
0:39.2	manage my responsibilities. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets
0:45.5	of creating and living a life you don't want to escape from. Each week, I'll bring you tools,
0:52.1	lessons, and conversations to help you drink less and live more.

1:26.6	pushing it off, this is your
1:29.2	sign to do something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink
1:35.5	last night? I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week,
1:41.4	or after that next big event, or maybe next month. But here's the thing,
1:46.9	waiting doesn't make it easier. What does? A game plan that actually works. That's why I want you to
1:54.9	come join me in my free master class, five secrets to successfully take a break from drinking, even if you've tried and
2:03.7	failed before. In this free class, I'm going to show you why your past attempts haven't worked
2:10.0	and what to do instead. The mindset shifts you need to make this break feel doable and even exciting. And five practical steps you can start
