Episode 23 | Guest Conversation: Navigating Alcohol and Neurodiversity with Tracy Turtle

In this episode of The Wine O’Clock Woman, I’m joined by Tracy Turtle for a deeply honest conversation about alcohol and neurodiversity.Tracy shares her personal journey and opens up about how her neurodivergent experience shaped her relationship with drinking.Together, we explore the challenges, misunderstandings, when alcohol becomes intertwined with coping, identity, and everyday life.This conversation sheds light on an area that is often overlooked: how neurodiversity can influence the way we experience alcohol, social expectations, and wellbeing.Tracy Turtle is the founder of Mandala Jade, where she helps people simplify their homes and work lives to create space for what truly matters.Through practical workshops and one-to-one support, she guides individuals to reduce overwhelm, create calm, functional spaces, and embrace more intentional, sustainable ways of living.Before founding Mandala Jade, Tracy spent 25 years in financial services. A Chartered Accountant by training, she worked in London, Bermuda, and Singapore before joining NatWest, where her role expanded into culture, wellbeing, and inclusion, shaping the compassionate, people-centred approach she brings to her work today.Connect with Tracy:FacebookInstagramLinkedinTracy's website: www.mandalajade.co.uk/Free Simplify Your Home Guide: A practical 5-step framework for creating a simplified home that truly supports you:Get your FREE guide here: www.mandalajade.co.uk/guidesIf 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.
