Episode 17 | When Wednesday Starts Counting as the Weekend

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

You say, “Not tonight.”And then Wednesday quietly starts counting as the weekend.In this episode, I explore how drinking shifts earlier in the week through exhaustion, stress, and emotional overload.Not in dramatic ways, but through small, familiar decisions that slowly erode self-trust.This isn’t about willpower or moderation.It’s about recognising the habit loop, understanding why it keeps repeating, and what changes once the pattern becomes visible.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.
