In this illuminating conversation with Jenn Kautsch, founder of Sober Sis, we explore the complex relationship between women, alcohol, and aging without judgment or rigid rules. Jenn shares her personal journey from "gray area" drinking to creating a vibrant alcohol-free lifestyle, offering powerful insights particularly relevant to women navigating their 40s, 50s, and beyond. We dive into surprising scientific facts about how alcohol affects women's bodies differently—especially as we age—and why the marketing of "mommy wine culture" has so effectively targeted women seeking relief from life's pressures.This isn't about labeling yourself or subscribing to someone else's definition of recovery. It's about honest curiosity and reclaiming your power in midlife. You'll discover why willpower isn't the answer (and what actually works instead), how to navigate social situations confidently, and why the question isn't "is my drinking bad enough to change?" but rather "is it good enough for the life I want?"Whether you're sober curious, loJoin here:  Sandy K Inner Circle Join me here:  Sandy K Inner CircleSupport the showJoin The Sandy K Inner Circle -- my private women-only subscription community where we go deeper than the podcast ever could.Every month you get:A live Q&A with Sandy on ZoomAn exclusive podcast episode nobody else hearsA practical curated downloadAccess to our private women-only Facebook community for wide open discussions on all topicsNo agendas.
