    Episode 38 | The Moment You Realise You Don’t Want This Life Anymore
    May 20 2026
    So many women don’t hit rock bottom.

    They just slowly disappear from themselves while keeping everything else going.

    In this episode, we talk about the quiet patterns that become normal over time — emotional exhaustion, over-functioning, resentment, nightly drinking, people-pleasing, chronic stress, and the moment you finally ask yourself:

    “Do I actually want this to still be my life in ten years?”

    This is about the turning point that happens long before collapse.


    If this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.

    Each month I run a FREE live Zoom workshop for women who are beginning to recognise the emotional patterns, people-pleasing, overthinking, exhaustion and self-abandonment that may be keeping them stuck.

    Inside the workshop, I talk about the “cycle” many women unknowingly live in, and how to start recognising the patterns that keep you emotionally exhausted, disconnected and running on autopilot.

  • Episode 37 | What Happens When Alcohol Stops Running in the Background

    Episode 37 | What Happens When Alcohol Stops Running in the Background
    May 13 2026
    There’s a side of drinking women rarely talk about openly: the constant mental noise around it.
    The negotiating.
    The rules.
    The promises to stop.

    The guilt when those promises get broken again.

    In this episode, I’m talking about what really changes when alcohol stops running constantly in the background, and why the real transformation is often far deeper than just drinking less.

    For many women, it’s not just about alcohol.
    It’s about finally feeling like themselves again.

  • Episode 35 | Why You Still Drink… Even After a ‘Good’ Day

    Episode 35 | Why You Still Drink… Even After a ‘Good’ Day
    May 6 2026
    If you’ve ever had a day where everything went well… and still found yourself pouring a drink that evening… this episode will explain why.

    It’s not random, and it’s not a lack of discipline.
    There’s a pattern underneath it.

    A day of being “on it” has a cost—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
    By the time the evening arrives, something in you is looking for relief.

    In this episode, we look at what’s actually driving that pull, why it often feels stronger after a “good” day, and what to pay attention to instead.

  • Episode 34 | Why Sobriety Feels Underwhelming (And What That Really Means)

    Episode 34 | Why Sobriety Feels Underwhelming (And What That Really Means)
    Apr 29 2026
    There’s a phase in sobriety we don't talk about enough.
    The chaos has gone… but nothing feels particularly better either.
    Just flat.
    In this episode, we unpack why that happens, and why it doesn’t mean you’ve made the wrong decision.
    We explore the gap between expectation and reality, the loss of the “reward” alcohol once gave, and why what feels like underwhelm is often your system finally regulating.

    You’ll hear why this stage matters more than most, where people tend to drift, and how to start using the space sobriety creates instead of questioning it.

    If you’ve ever thought “Is this it?” — this episode will help you understand what’s really going on, and what to do next.

  • Episode 33 | Guest conversation: Drinking Through Grief You Haven’t Named Yet with Dipti Tait

    Episode 33 | Guest conversation: Drinking Through Grief You Haven’t Named Yet with Dipti Tait
    Apr 25 2026
    Grief isn’t always about death.
    Sometimes it’s the life you thought you’d have.
    The version of you that’s changed.
    A relationship that doesn’t feel the same anymore.
    In this conversation with Dipti Tait, we explore the quieter forms of loss many women don’t recognise—and why alcohol often becomes the way to cope with what hasn’t been named.
    Because when something feels off, heavy, or unresolved…
    it’s easier to pour a drink than sit with it.
    Not weakness.
    Just no language for what’s really going on.
    This episode is about changing that.
    Naming it.
    Understanding it.
    Moving through it—without needing to numb it.

    About Dipti Tait
    Dipti Tait is a psychotherapist, solution focused hypnotherapist, retreat host, and author who helps people understand the grief they don’t even realise they’re carrying.

  • Episode 32 | Why It Feels Selfish to Stop Drinking (Especially Around Other People)

    Episode 32 | Why It Feels Selfish to Stop Drinking (Especially Around Other People)
    Apr 22 2026
    Why does something that’s clearly good for you…
    suddenly feel selfish the moment other people are involved?

    In this episode, we unpack the real reason taking a break from alcohol can feel uncomfortable, why it has very little to do with willpower.

    For some women drinking is a part of how they connect, unwind, maintain ease in their relationships.
    So when that changes, even quietly, it can feel like you’ve disrupted something unspoken.
    Not an argument.
    A shared rhythm of “this is what we do.”

    Stepping outside of that is where the tension shows up.

    This episode explores: Why “this feels selfish” is rarely about selfishness

    Why the real challenge isn’t the habit, it’s changing the dynamic
    What happens in relationships when you stop keeping things easy

    How these moments can lead to more honest, intentional connection.
    The discomfort isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong.
    It’s a sign the dynamic is changing.

    The real question becomes: Are you willing to let it?

    If this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.

  • Episode 31| Your Evenings Are Why You Drink (Not the Wine)

    Episode 31| Your Evenings Are Why You Drink (Not the Wine)
    Apr 15 2026
    Some drinking habits don’t come from stress or chaos.
    They come from evenings that feel empty, repetitive and hard to sit in.

    Nothing’s wrong.
    But nothing feels good either.

    So the drink, whether it’s wine or something else, becomes the marker that the day is over.
    Something to look forward to.
    Something that stops you having to sit in the space.

    And that’s the part no one talks about. I see this pattern all the time. It shows up in different ways, but the dynamic is the same.
    The evening feels flat, so something fills it.

    If your nights feel restless, predictable or harder to switch off from than they should, this isn’t about the drink.
    It’s about what the drink is doing for you.

    If this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.
