Hello! I'm so happy to be here with you.

I'm popping in to check in with you this holiday season. As 2025 comes to a close, I want to offer words of encouragement to help you navigate the holiday alcohol-free.

Whether this is your first year, your second, or many years in. I talk about growth, discomfort, awkward moments, grief, and why outgrowing alcohol is a sign that you're evolving, which is a good thing!

I also share where I am right now, slowing down, focusing on one thing at a time, and letting intuition and flow guide me.

And a personal story from my first sober Christmas and what changed in the years that followed, along with a reminder that you're not alone in this season.

There are so many women walking through this right alongside you, including me.

I'm with you. Thank you for being here with me.

Episode 343

Hello, friend! Happy holidays and happy season of midlife and beyond!

This episode was inspired by a walk I took this morning and the possibilities that open up when you walk with the topic of wonder.

I invite you to walk with wonder during the holiday season and the season of midlife, using curiosity instead of pressure to explore what's possible for you.

Wonder expands your perspective and opens doors you may not have touched or considered in a long time (or ever!)

I share simple prompts you can take with you anywhere, but I suggest taking a walk with this one!

I'm with you.

I appreciate you so much for listening.

I'm sharing my interview with my friend Noelle Van on her podcast, The Change Effect, because it's all of our favorite topics that we discuss on To 50 and Beyond!

In this episode, we talk about:

• The myth of "rock bottom" and why real change begins with your decision, not a catastrophic event.

• How negotiating and bargaining with alcohol keeps us stuck

• Navigating the unique challenges of quitting alcohol in midlife

• The ways alcohol-free living can bring clarity, emotional freedom, and renewed energy during the perimenopause and menopause transition.

• The importance of accountability, support, and community when breaking free from drinking

• Rediscovering your true self, embracing self-care, and finding peace with "being enough" at every age.

• The ongoing journey of recovery, self-compassion, and redefining success beyond productivity and external achievements.

• Why change is the catalyst for creating the life you deeply desire.

If you're contemplating your relationship with alcohol, struggling with change in midlife, or simply ready to put yourself at the center of your own story, this honest and inspiring episode is for you.

You can find Noelle here.

Thank you for listening!
