    243. TV Host Marci Hopkins: “Perimenopause played a huge role in my drinking”—Here’s What Saved Me
    Apr 15 2025
    TV host and author Marci Hopkins joins Ashley to share her deeply personal journey from childhood trauma and decades of functional drinking to hitting rock bottom—and rising again. In this raw and eye-opening conversation, Marci reveals how perimenopause played a critical but overlooked role in her escalating alcohol use, the hidden struggles behind her success in television, and how she finally found peace through sobriety, healing, and spiritual connection. Marci opens up about growing up in chaos, experiencing abuse, and turning to alcohol at a young age to cope. She talks candidly about her final DUI, how perimenopause and antidepressants intertwined with her drinking, and why so many women suffer silently through this transitional period. Through it all, she found purpose in storytelling, launching Wake Up with Marci, and writing her book Chaos to Clarity to help others find hope. If you’ve ever wondered how hormones, trauma, and high-functioning addiction intersect—or how healing is possible no matter how far you've fallen—this is a must-listen episode. Topics Include: How perimenopause impacted Marci’s mental health and substance use The illusion of high-functioning alcoholism Healing from childhood abuse and generational trauma Working the 12 steps and finding spiritual strength Rewiring your brain and rewriting your narrative Parenting in recovery and repairing family patterns Resources & Links: 📖 Chaos to Clarity: Seeing the Signs and Breaking the Cycle – Available on Amazon 🌐 WakeUpWithMarci.com 📩 Email Marci: wakeupwithmarci@gmail.com 📲 Follow Marci on social @wakeupwithmarci
