The Hello Someday Podcast For Sober Curious Women

Ep. 305: When Sobriety Gets Hard Again: Adulting, Menopause and Midlife

What do you do when you want to drink again—not because you’re “back at zero,” but because midlife (and menopause) is hitting hard? I’m talking with Dana Bowman, author of Humble Pie, about the messy truth of long-term recovery colliding with midlife—think perimenopause, parenting teens, sleep disruption, body changes, and the quiet pressure to keep performing like nothing’s happening. Dana and I have both lived the “I quit… then went back… then quit again” reality, and we’re naming what so many women experience but rarely say out loud: Life gets better without alcohol—and life still gets lifey.

Ep. 304: How Women Can Rewire Their Brains In Recovery

How do you rewire your brain to stop using alcohol to cope—especially when you’re stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in the drinking cycle? I’m joined by Kate Vitela, a psychiatric nurse who’s triple board certified in mental health, addiction, and coaching, and the voice behind the Rewired Sober podcast. Kate brings the perfect mix of neuroscience + real-life recovery talk—no shame, no dogma, no “you’re broken” narrative. We get into what’s actually happening in your brain when alcohol becomes your go-to off switch… and why your brain can absolutely change, heal, and build new pathways—especially when you understand what you’re working with.

Ep. 303: Addicted to Scrolling, Sugar, or Shopping? How “Little Addictions” Can Run Your Life with Catherine Gray

If you’re a high-achieving, sober-curious woman who’s drinking less (or not at all) but still feels pulled toward scrolling, snacking, shopping, streaming, or stress habits that don’t actually make you feel good—this episode is for you. Today I’m talking with bestselling author Catherine Gray who wrote The Unexpected Joy Of Being Sober and Sunshine Warm Sober. Her new book Little Addictions dives into the everyday compulsions that feel “too small to matter”… until they quietly start running your time, mood, money, and mental health. This conversation isn’t about becoming stricter or more disciplined. It’s about understanding why these habits are so sticky—and how to loosen their grip without shame, deprivation, or white-knuckling your life.

Ep. 302: The New U.S. Alcohol Guidelines Caved to Big Alcohol — And Why That’s Dangerous

When the U.S. government released the new 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, most people probably didn’t notice what didn’t make headlines. But something important changed. For the first time in decades, the federal government removed specific drinking limits from its alcohol guidance. Gone was the already-weak recommendation of no more than one drink per day for women. Also missing? Any clear warning about alcohol’s well-established link to cancer. What replaced it was vague language encouraging people to “drink less.” That might sound harmless. Reasonable, even. But when you look closely at the science—and the political and economic forces surrounding alcohol—this shift isn’t neutral. It’s dangerous. And it represents a clear retreat from evidence-based public health guidance at a time when alcohol-related harm in the U.S. is rising. In this episode, I’m taking a position:The new U.S. alcohol guidelines caved to Big Alcohol—and the consequences matter.

Ep. 301: Why You’re Exhausted, Overperforming, & Drinking to Cope (Anxious Attachment Explained—and How to Feel Secure Instead) with Trevor Hanson

Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything right—working hard, showing up for everyone, holding it all together—yet you’re still exhausted, anxious, and secretly wondering why it never feels like enough? In this episode, I’m talking with Trevor Hanson, coach and founder of The Art of Healing, about anxious attachment—how it shows up in high-achieving women, why it fuels people-pleasing and overworking, and how it often leads us to drink at night just to turn our brains off.
