from Wild Sobriety · host Mary Wagstaff

Ever wonder who you’d be without the wine?In this personal and powerful episode, I reflect on how creating a sacred space for women—where we gather weekly over iced tea and flowers—revealed the essence of my own transformation. What started as a dream of women’s retreats manifested in a flower farm. And what I thought would be found through achievement, I discovered through simplicity, presence, and letting go of alcohol.Midlife sobriety is more than just quitting drinking—it's a rite of passage we were never taught to honor. And when you pair it with the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause, something magical happens: you reclaim your energy, your intuition, and your power.We explore:What it really means to meet your future selfWhy letting go of outcomes opens the door to unexpected joyHow sobriety teaches you to trust your desires more than your conditioningUsing perimenopause as a sacred portal, not a problem to fixReplacing perfectionism with consistency and self-compassionOptimizing energy (not balance) as a woman in transitionTapping into your intuition as your ultimate guide✨ The woman who confidently orders iced tea instead of wine?She’s the wise one.
