Curious On Life the Podcast

On this episode, Rebecca sits with Susan Hodgson, an Irish woman living in France, sans wine, who brings honesty and humor to what she calls the “soggy middle” — that in-between space where drinking doesn’t feel bad enough to quit completely, but not good enough to ignore.Together, they explore the quiet tension so many women feel, the beliefs that keep us stuck, and what begins to shift when we allow curiosity to lead instead of pressure. This is a conversation about choice, awareness, and learning to listen more closely to what we truly need.You can find her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/losetheboozewithsuz/ and on Substack @susanmchodgsonhttps://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

I sit down with Jamie Magnant, a spiritual seeker, poet, and creative walking her path with honesty and depth. Jamie shares her journey as a sober, queer woman devoted to self-expression, presence, and a life that feels fully lived.We talk about what it means to be human in real time… the beauty, the unraveling, the becoming. From yoga to art, from travel to stillness, Jamie’s world is one of curiosity and courage.She is a forever learner with a spirit rooted in freedom and adventure.Listen in and explore more of her work on Substack  or tune into her podcast “How to Human” on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.https://jamiemagnant.substack.com/https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

In this conversation, Rebecca connects with mindset coach and competitive physique athlete Rose Simmons to explore a truth many women quietly carry:Most women don’t struggle with knowing what to do…they struggle with following through.Because real transformation isn’t built on discipline alone.It’s built on vision.Rose shares how lasting change begins when we bridge the gap between who we are today and who we deeply desire to become. When that bridge is clear, our daily actions begin to align naturally with the life and body we’re calling in.This is where real change happens. Not in perfection… but in alignment.About Rose:Rose Simmons is a mindset coach and competitive physique athlete who understands the frustration of doing everything “right” and still feeling stuck. After years of navigating weight struggles, all-or-nothing habits, and a relentless inner critic, she shifted her focus from chasing outcomes to understanding the patterns behind them.Today, she helps women transform the way they think—so they can finally transform the way they live, move, and show up in their bodies.https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

On this episode, Rebecca sits down with Melissa McGovern, founder of The Sober New Yorker, names herself as a “gray area drinker,” and that phrase alone carries weight. It speaks to the vast middle ground so many women live in. Not rock bottom, not reckless… but not quite aligned either. A slow drift rather than a crash.Her experience traces a very specific arc. Personal loss enters the room. Menopause shifts the chemistry of body and mood. Then comes the long, disorienting stretch of the pandemic, where time blurs and boundaries soften. In that environment, the “F*ck It” button becomes less of a moment and more of a setting. A default.And then something important happens. Not externally, but internally. The reflection in the mirror stops matching the inner sense of self. That disconnect can feel more alarming than any outward consequence. It’s not about how much she was drinking. It’s about what it was doing to her sense of identity.That line she shares is the hinge of the whole story:“I didn’t recognize the woman looking at me in the mirror.”That’s not about alcohol alone. That’s about estrangement from self.What’s compelling is that curiosity had already been whispering to her for years. Not urgency. Not crisis. Curiosity. A quieter, more intuitive signal. Almost like a hand on the shoulder saying, “There might be another way.”And then, in a moment where the external pressures and internal misalignment finally intersect, that curiosity becomes permission.Maybe now was the time.You won't want to miss this, take a listen.to connect with Melissa go to: https://thesobernewyorker.com/https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

On this episode of the Curious on Life podcast, Rebecca sits down with Anne Skriba, founder of Clean Play Coaching, for an honest conversation about identity, performance, and the quiet moments that lead us to rethink our relationship with alcohol.For most of her life, Anne knew exactly who she was: athlete, competitor, coach, and leader. Her days were structured around discipline, training, and helping others reach their potential. But when she stepped away from coaching, something unexpected happened. The titles disappeared. The routines shifted. And the clear sense of purpose she had built her life around no longer fit in the same way.In that unfamiliar space, she began to notice that some of the coping strategies she had relied on—especially alcohol—were no longer serving her.Today, through Clean Play Coaching, Anne helps high-performing individuals reexamine the role alcohol plays in their lives. Her message is direct and empowering. You are not here because you “have a problem.” You are here because you want to be great, and you sense that alcohol might be getting in the way of your full potential.Connect with Anne :https://www.cleanplaycoaching.com/https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

In this episode of Curious on Life, I find myself riding shotgun in a church van, heading to a museum with my ninety-one-year-old mom and her Sunday school class and unexpectedly sharing a meaningful conversation with Tina Schramme.Rev. Tina is an ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church, a trained personal coach, and a lifelong student of human growth, holding degrees in Psychology, Human Development and Family Studies, and Divinity. Before answering the call to ministry, Tina worked closely with special-needs teens and adults, served in a mental health hospital, and led as Camp Director at Camp Grady Spruce.What unfolds in our conversation is not a traditional pastor interview. It is a gentle, honest exploration of grace, higher purpose, and the often misunderstood women of the Bible, including Mary Magdalene. We talk about breaking glass ceilings, questioning long-held religious and social narratives, and what it means to follow a calling that once felt impossible for a woman to claim.Rooted in authenticity, laughter, flexibility, family in all its forms, and what Tina lovingly calls “grace, grace, grace,” this episode is an invitation to rethink faith, leadership, and belonging and to remember that you are deeply loved exactly as you are.author Tina Referenced was Diana Butler Basscontact with Pastor Tina: Rev.

In this gentle solo episode of Curious on Life, Rebecca reflects on a quiet but powerful truth for women in midlife & beyond — your worthiness was never tied to your past behavior, your coping, or the seasons you survived.Through lived experience, creativity as medicine, and soft reflection, this episode invites sober-curious, sensitive women to release self-judgment and begin trusting what is ready to unfold next.Why You Should Listen:If you’ve ever felt weighed down by your past choices, your coping habits, or the ways you survived, this episode is for you. Rebecca gently reminds midlife women that worthiness was never in question — and offers a soft, embodied path to release self-judgment, reconnect with your creativity, and begin trusting what’s ready to unfold next.https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

What if your relationship with alcohol isn’t the real question?What if it’s pointing to something deeper?In this episode, I’m joined by Anna Donaghey, known as The Beliefs Coach, host of The Big Drink Rethink podcast and author of What Are You Thirsty For?. Together, we explore how our beliefs — shaped by culture, habit, and expectation — quietly drive our choices around drinking, identity, and fulfillment.This conversation is for any woman standing at a crossroads — whether you’re questioning alcohol, navigating a different kind of life transition, or simply sensing that something wants to shift.No labels. No pressure. Just space to listen inward and choose with clarity.f this conversation stirred something in you, consider it an invitation — to pause, get curious, and listen more closely to what your life is asking of you now.Because here at Curious on Life, we believe clarity doesn’t come from fixing yourself — it comes from remembering what you already know.Curious On Life, the podcastconnect :https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com/connect with Ana Donaghey  - https://www.thebigdrinkrethink.com/https://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

Barry Shimelfarb is the founder of Carmel Retreats and the devoted steward of Cuddle Doon, a storied cottage tucked along the Carmel coastline.In 2019, Barry’s life was upended. As a single father raising twin boys, he was diagnosed with advanced cancer. Multiple surgeries and radiation left him weakened, unable to swallow, and facing a grim prognosis. During his long recovery, the family’s historic Carmel cottage became more than a home—it became a sanctuary. Planting lavender, walking the shoreline, and resting beneath ancient oak trees turned into daily rituals of hope and healing.Surrounded by the love of his community and grounded by the quiet wisdom of the land, Barry not only endured—he healed. Two years later, his doctors declared him cancer-free.Moved by gratitude, Barry chose to open the doors of Cuddle Doon to others. Today, the cottage welcomes guests navigating illness, grief, burnout, or major life transitions, as well as those simply longing for rest and renewal. Known as the “Lost Cottage of Carmel,” Cuddle Doon carries a rich legacy. Built in the early 1900s by Eliza Yocum—a pioneering educator and spiritual thinker—it was once a gathering place for artists, thinkers, and seekers.Barry considers himself not the owner, but the steward of this sacred space, honoring its history while carrying its spirit forward. Through Carmel Retreats, he curates deeply personal, boutique experiences and leads initiatives like Postcards of Healing, offering gifted retreats during open calendar windows to those in need.As Barry beautifully puts it:“My purpose is simple—to help others thrive. Healing isn’t just about medicine. It’s about place, community, and feeling truly cared for.”connect with Barry:Websitehttps://www.carmelretreats.com/Postcards for Healinghttps://www.carmelretreats.com/[email protected]://www.instagram.com/carmel.retreats/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/carmelretreatshttps://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com

In this episode of Curious on Life the podcast,  Rebecca sits down with Amy Fuggi,  a Certified This Naked Mind coach.   Listen in on their open and vulnerable discussion.  In Amy's words "If someone would have told me a few years ago how I would feel now, I wouldn’t believe them. And I get that, because it sounds like a dream. Where I used to wake up anxious, foggy, and low energy, now, I wake up with a sense of joy and purpose. While on the outside I had it all together (and a great life! A wonderful husband, children, grandchildren…) internally it was a different story. I was stressed and insecure, even on my best days. Now, I have a whole new level of confidence. I feel clear and calm, no matter what life throws my way. Not to mention, I’ve deepened my faith, and regained a zest for life that I thought I may have lost forever. As a practicing Catholic, my coaching is guided by compassion, grace, and humility for the work I get to do serving women like you."Want to learn more........you can connect with Amy at https://www.livefreefromalcohol.comhttps://www.rebeccaguevarawingler.com
