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 self
• Why letting go of outcomes opens the door to unexpected joy
• How sobriety teaches you to trust your desires more than your conditioning
• Using perimenopause as a sacred portal, not a problem to fix
• Replacing perfectionism with consistency and self-compassion
• Optimizing energy (not balance) as a woman in transition
• Tapping into your intuition as your ultimate guide

✨ The woman who confidently orders iced tea instead of wine?
She’s the wise one. The whole one. The next evolution of you.
