Ep 74: Sober Curiosity as Self Care with Casey McGuire Davidson

Episode summary:

Jen welcomes sobriety coach and Hello Someday Podcast for Sober Curious Women host Casey McGuire Davidson for an honest, compassionate conversation about alcohol, self care, and nervous system regulation. Casey shares her personal journey from high achieving, wine every night corporate life to ten years alcohol free, unpacking how drinking quietly fueled anxiety, poor sleep, and emotional overwhelm and how stopping changed everything.

Together, Jen and Casey explore Dry January, sober curiosity, and why taking a longer break from alcohol can be transformational rather than restrictive. Casey reframes self care as emotional awareness, boundaries, and meeting your needs without numbing, offering practical insight for anyone curious about how life, relationships, and joy can expand when alcohol is no longer the default coping tool.

Ep 73: A Season of Healing, Movement, and Compassion

From laughing at her attempts to manage forehead wrinkles to finding unexpected joy in slow morning walks, she opens up about the honest, unfiltered moments that have shaped this season of healing.

Jen reflects on the wisdom that comes with age, listening to her body, moving with intention, and letting go of old pressures around performance. This episode is an encouraging, relatable companion for anyone facing recovery, navigating midlife changes, or learning to meet their body with patience and grace.
