Description

https://www.lorimassicot.com/coaching-servicesHey there! 

I'm sharing my interview with my friend Noelle Van on her podcast, The Change Effect, because it's all of our favorite topics that we discuss on To 50 and Beyond! 

In this episode, we talk about: 

  • The myth of "rock bottom" and why real change begins with your decision, not a catastrophic event.

  • How negotiating and bargaining with alcohol keeps us stuck

  • Navigating the unique challenges of quitting alcohol in midlife

  • The ways alcohol-free living can bring clarity, emotional freedom, and renewed energy during the perimenopause and menopause transition.

  • The importance of accountability, support, and community when breaking free from drinking

  • Rediscovering your true self, embracing self-care, and finding peace with "being enough" at every age.

  • The ongoing journey of recovery, self-compassion, and redefining success beyond productivity and external achievements.

  • Why change is the catalyst for creating the life you deeply desire.

If you're contemplating your relationship with alcohol, struggling with change in midlife, or simply ready to put yourself at the center of your own story, this honest and inspiring episode is for you. 

You can find Noelle here. 

Thank you for listening!
