Alcohol & Mental Health – It’s Not Just “One Glass”

Ever reached for a glass of wine to take the edge off—then felt more anxious the next day?

Alcohol might feel like it helps us “cope,” but it often adds to the emotional load we’re already carrying.

For many women I work with, drinking has become a silent crutch… one they feel ashamed of but unsure how to change.

The good news? It’s not about cutting it out completely overnight. It’s about regaining control, on your own terms.

If your mental health feels tangled up with your drinking habits, you're not broken—and you’re not alone.

Mental Health Awareness Week – The Power of Community

This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week, and the theme is “Community”.

For many women over 40, juggling careers, family, and personal challenges, it's easy to feel isolated—even when surrounded by people.

Community isn't just about being around others; it's about feeling connected, understood, and supported.

Whether it's sharing experiences of perimenopause, discussing the struggles of burnout, or seeking support to regain control over drinking habits, being part of a community can make all the difference.

This week, let's celebrate the strength found in community and the positive impact it has on our mental health.

💬 Join the conversation: Share your experiences or reach out if you need support. Let's build a community where every woman feels seen and supported.

"This journey has been about more than just cutting out alcohol."

That’s what one of my 1:1 clients said to me recently.

Yes, she came to me because she wanted to gain control over her drinking—but what unfolded went so much deeper. She’s now:

Cooking healthy meals
Practising daily gratitude
Feeling more emotionally grounded and in tune with herself

These small shifts are powerful. They build momentum. And they often lead to far more profound change than expected.

Because when we stop numbing, we start noticing—our needs, our patterns, and what actually helps us feel good.

That’s the heart of the work I do.

It’s not about perfection. It’s not about never drinking again.
It’s about helping women who are burnt out, busy, and overstretched, feel in control again. In their choices. In their emotions. In their lives.

If that’s something you’re craving right now, let’s talk.

"After just 7 days alcohol-free, I was already sleeping better and feeling more like myself again."

These were the words from one of my 1:1 clients after just a week of working together.

She came to me feeling exhausted, foggy, and stuck in a pattern that no longer felt like her.

Using a blend of NLP, behavioural coaching, and practical mindset tools, we began gently untangling the reasons she reached for a drink—and started creating new, empowering habits instead.

The result?

Deeper, more restful sleep
Improved emotional wellbeing
A renewed sense of self and possibility

This is the kind of shift that happens when you get the right support—without judgment, pressure, or shame.

If you’re wondering what might be possible for you with the right tools and guidance, I’d love to talk.

The opposite of addiction is connection.”

And my client confirms this beautifully:

“Hubby and I have also made massive changes in our behaviour towards each other too, which is just amazing. It’s working! Xx”

This is the power of doing the inner work — it’s not just about drinking less, it’s about reconnecting with the people who matter most.

A huge step forward in gaining control over alcohol and rebuilding those all-important relationships.

I’ve seen it time and time again — it really does happen!

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your mental health is delete the noise.

Social media can feel like an escape, but for me, it’s become a trap! The endless doom scrolling was taking a toll on my peace, focus, and energy. So today, I made a decision: to delete the noise and prioritise my well-being. If you’re feeling overwhelmed too, maybe it’s time to take a break. Protect your mental health—it’s worth it.

Sunday Check-In: How Are You Nurturing Yourself Today?

Sundays are often seen as a day of rest, but for many of us, it can feel like a catch-up day: laundry, meal prep, errands, and everything else we didn’t get to during the week.

But what if today, we paused?

Even for just 10 minutes.

What does self-care look like for you today? Maybe it’s sitting with a cup of tea in silence, reading a chapter of a book, taking a gentle walk, or even just closing your eyes and breathing deeply for a moment.

How can you set yourself up for a smoother week ahead?

Could it be writing down a couple of things you’d like to focus on this week (without overwhelming yourself)? Or prepping one healthy meal?

Let’s remember: self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. It’s not about doing everything; it’s about doing what matters for YOU.

Share one way you’re looking after yourself today in the comments. Let’s inspire each other to make self-care a priority this Sunday.

With Love 💜
