Hey there!

For the past couple of years, I've thought about ways to bring back a version of my original weekend podcast, The Sitch On Saturday (yup, I used to say "Sitch") to help you reflect, reimagine, and take care of yourself throughout the week.

The Weekend Shift came to me at 2:30 am, and I recorded this first episode just hours later. It feels good, and I'm so excited to be with you twice a week now.

Listen in for a simple reflection to help you end your week and head into the next with a little more clarity.

Thank you for listening.

See you on Wednesday, 4/22, with an episode about meal planning and staying alcohol-free at the grocery store.

Enjoy your weekend!

Episode #353

Hello!

I know what it feels like to be in a place where you are reassessing your relationship with alcohol, cutting back, and taking breaks. I also know what it looks and feels like to realize that drinking less and placing rules on your drinking is not how you want to drink.

This short episode is a look inside what the two years leading up to me ultimately going alcohol-free was like, and how those two years led me to the acceptance I needed to go alcohol-free.

Episode 352

Hello there!

This episode goes out to midlife women who are working on living alcohol-free.

You are the solution is a core belief of mine. This episode is about what that actually means in practice.

I share my own story of stopping drinking at 45, smack in the middle of midlife, with no clue what I would do without alcohol.

I talk about the loop of no solution that alcohol creates, why midlife women are drinking in 2026, and I walk you through simple, practical ways to apply "you are the solution" in your daily life.

I'm with you!

Episode 350

Grab your poster board or foam board, some magazines, and a glue stick. We are about to get crafty.

If you're looking for a creative project to help you get clear on what you want in your life right now, this episode is for you.

A mood board is a visual representation of how you want to feel right now, this season, this chapter.

A mood board is made up of images, quotes, words, and notes to yourself that match the feeling you want to carry into spring.

I'm walking you through a reflection to help you put yours together. It's fun to create, but it's also a helpful way to pause and get honest about what you want and don't want this season.

Prompts from this episode:

1. Where are you today and what are you proud of yourself for accomplishing?
2. What do you want to create this spring?
3. What will you invite in?
4. What are you ready to release?
5. What will you remind yourself of?

Episode #349

Hey there!

If you've heard me talk about my online community and aren't really sure what it is or how it works, or if you've been curious about joining my community, this episode is for you.

If you're inside ELEVATE, thank you for taking the leap with me! 🫶

This is one of those episodes, where I said to myself, why in the heck have you not done this sooner?

Before you dive in, this is an honest look at why I believe in community in midlife and in living alcohol-free, especially in 2026.

I will give you a peek into how my community, ELEVATE, formerly Team Alcohol-Free, works.

I have a short rapid fire FAQ that I'll go through to answer most of the questions I've received over the years.

I'm not a fan of long enrollment pages, so I made a summary that you can find here.

In honor of ELEVATE, turning 3 today, I'm offering a special anniversary enrollment that ends on 4/1/26.

As we start the new chapter together as midlife and beyond women who are done with alcohol and focused on living fulfilling alcohol-free lifestyles, it's a really great time to join.

Meet new women who are coming in with you and get started this week.

Episode #348

Hey there! I'm glad you're here.

I recorded this short and sweet episode to let you know if you're in the middle of a transition in your life, or multiple transitions, I'm here. Sometimes, that is the best thing I can offer - to let you know you're not alone during this time.

In this episode, I share two transitions I'm recognizing with a move and my son living at home. I also talk about why it's helpful to recognize when you're in the "middle" of a transition, and some simple things I do for myself.

I share a story about my mom and how I learned from a young age that life happens - just keep pushing through. I don't want to do this anymore, I want to get on my back and float a bit.

I'm sending you love wherever you are and with whatever transtion you are in.

Please reach out to me if you would like to say hello and share.

Episode #347

Hey there! I hope you're having a nice day.

If you are curious about living alcohol-free, and ready to make it a lifestyle, or if you've decided to live alcohol-free and you're months or more in and you're not sure if it's the lifestyle for you, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I give you my perspective of an alcohol-free lifestyle and what my decision to go alcohol-free gave me in the first two years of living alcohol-free.

It's an honest look into my experience after 30 years of being a drinker, a party girl, and a woman smack dab in the middle of life (well, a little beyond).

I also offer a reflection for those who are in it and aren't sure if the lifestyle is for them.

I'm with you. Thank you for being here with me.

Private Coaching That Meets You Where You Are and Helps You Get to Where You Want to Be

I offer flexible, personalized packages to help you get started and stay alcohol-free.
