In Part 1 of this honest and empowering two-part series, I sit down with my dear friend and coach Teri Patterson to explore how so many women in midlife are courageously re-evaluating their relationship with alcohol. I also share my own multi-year journey—from daily drinking to (mostly) alcohol-free living—and why choosing this path has been one of the most empowering decisions I've made. Together, we unpack:   Why it's time to move beyond the question of "problem drinking" The fear, identity shifts, and deep curiosity that often spark change How simply getting curious is its own courageous act Why alcohol can be a coping tool—and how to build a more supportive toolkit Why letting go doesn't have to mean forever—and how it often leads to more of who you truly are Whether you're sober curious, taking a break, or just beginning to wonder,  this conversation invites you to explore what's possible. As always, this is a shame-free place.  Just curiosity, support, and the potential to explore more of your There She Is energy! 🎧 Listen now, and then follow up with Part 2: "The Power of Presence - Intimacy Without Alcohol" — where we explore how alcohol impacts relationships, intimacy, and your ability to be fully present.
