Episode 10 | Guest conversation: Menopause and Midlife Drinking with Caroline Woolley

from The Wine O'Clock Woman · host Rebecca Thomson | The Wine O'clock Woman

In this guest conversation, I’m joined by Caroline Woolley, a menopause expert, who supports women through perimenopause and menopause by working with hormones, the nervous system, and real midlife pressures.We talk about why alcohol suddenly feels harder to tolerate in your 40s and 50s, how hormonal shifts affect sleep, anxiety, and mood, and why so many women blame themselves instead of seeing their drinking as a signal that something needs attention.This is an honest conversation about alcohol as self-soothing and the midlife squeeze. Click here to email Caroline directlyClick here to visit her website directly Where you can complete her free Midlife & Menopause MOT quiz and book a complimentary one-to-one. She’s also on Instagram and Facebook as The Peacock Retreat – Natural Wellbeing for Midlife and Menopause.If this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.Each month I run a FREE live Zoom workshop for women who are beginning to recognise the emotional patterns, people-pleasing, overthinking, exhaustion and self-abandonment that may be keeping them stuck.Inside the workshop, I talk about the “cycle” many women unknowingly live in, and how to start recognising the patterns that keep you emotionally exhausted, disconnected and running on autopilot.Save your place for the next workshop here:If you’d like to explore your own patterns more deeply, you can also book a free 30-minute conversation with me. Book your complimentary conversation here:Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical, psychological or therapeutic advice.
