If wine is how you relax, listen to this. Many women use alcohol to come down from the day. Over time, the body loses touch with what real calm feels like.
In this short episode of The Wine O’Clock Woman, you’ll experience a 10-minute guided relaxation so you can feel what settling your nervous system actually feels like.
Notice how you feel before you press play. Notice what’s different afterwards. That contrast is the work.
This episode is for women who: • use alcohol to unwind • feel wired or exhausted • struggle to truly settle • want another way to come down from the day • are curious about changing their evening drinking without labels
Find a quiet place to sit or lie down and give yourself ten minutes to experience real relaxation.
If this episode has left you thinking about your own relationship with alcohol, I'd love you to join me at Beyond the Booze Live, my free monthly 90-minute Zoom workshop.
You'll understand why you can promise yourself you won't drink in the morning, only to find yourself reaching for a glass that evening.
You'll begin to see what's happening before that first drink, why alcohol has become your go-to for feeling better, and how to start making different choices without relying on willpower alone.
Beyond the Booze Live: Come and understand your drinking better.

When you're living with chronic pain and relentless fatigue, a glass of wine can feel like much-needed relief.
Alcohol is sold to women as a reward, a way to relax, connect and cope with life. Yet when our drinking becomes something we're struggling with, we're often left feeling that we're the problem.
Changing your relationship with alcohol can feel like a very private struggle. But what happens when you talk to women who understand exactly what you're going through?
You drank again. Before you decide you’ve fucked it and you’re back at square one, there’s something far more useful you can do.
Why do we keep falling back into old patterns, even when we really want things to change? Julie Smith joins me to talk about the subconscious beliefs behind our behaviour, why willpower only gets us so far, and what needs to change underneath the habit for things to start feeling different.
