Summary

For so many of us alcohol keeps us playing small. We love opening a bottle of wine at the end of the day but don’t realize how much of our time, energy, motivation and ability to follow through on our goals is being diminished by our drinking habit. You might have New Year's Resolutions that you somehow never seem to keep, hobbies you’ve always wanted to try or feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water most days. Or maybe you’re a woman who has always been able to achieve whatever you set your mind to in life, except managing your drinking. If you’re a smart, ambitious, high-achieving woman who feels stuck, this episode is for you. My guest today is here to talk about how drinking can sap your energy, confidence and motivation and keep you playing small.

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.
0:56.6	I'll teach you how to navigate our drinking-obsessed culture without a buzz,
1:01.0	how to sit with your emotions when you're lonely or angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed,
1:06.9	how to self-soothe without a drink, and how to turn the decision to stop drinking from your
1:12.6	worst-case scenario to the best decision of your life. I am so glad you're here. Now, let's get
1:19.2	started. Hey, it's Casey. If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking, but keep
1:26.3	pushing it off, this is your sign to do
1:29.9	something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink last night?
1:35.8	I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that next big
1:42.8	event or maybe next month. But here's the thing, waiting
1:46.9	doesn't make it easier. What does? A game plan that actually works. That's why I want you to come
1:54.8	join me in my free master class, five secrets to successfully take a break from drinking, even if you've tried and failed before.
2:04.8	In this free class, I'm going to show you why your past attempts haven't worked and what to do
2:10.8	instead. The mindset shifts you need to make this break feel doable and even exciting.
