A curious conversation about sober living and its joyful benefits

As you know, this podcast centers around physical, mental, and spiritual health. And as I’m sure you’ve also figured out, the veins from these foundational pillars spread wide. Today’s conversation with Lori Massicot with the To 50 and Beyond Podcast is one of those that may seem on the periphery, but I think it’s an important one when we consider our physical, mental and spiritual health. Lori and I discuss sober living, specifically as it relates to women our age in this midlife stage. 

I share this with Lori at the beginning of our time but I am not sober. I do enjoy wine (generally just on the weekends), but I was curious to have this conversation because these are things that have gone on in my head. We talk about things like how do you bridge the gap between work and home if you’re wanting to unwind, how being sober effects your relationships, what to do about happy hour, the power of rituals and so much more.

No matter what kind of story you have with alcohol, I think you’ll appreciate this conversation.

We discuss:

  • What’s right for you
  • What kind of story are we creating around alcohol
  • How to navigate friendships that once involved alcohol if you take it out
  • How Lori and her husband changed their habits when she dropped alcohol
  • Creating rituals between work and home without popping the cork
  • The power of finding something to look forward to
  • Guidance on how to “take the edge off” without alcohol
  • Learning how to ask what we need

How are you moving?

I know we are in the thick of the holidays and things are crazy, but I hope you are still moving. But if your body and mind need something different, I invite you to try my signature program B.COMPLETE. This is a low impact recovery and prehab class I designed specifically for women over 40. It’s a compliment to however you like to move. I do this myself once a week and I believe it has been the key to me feeling less stiff and not injured. Get yours here and give yourself an option this holiday season to still work but at a less intense level.
