And what if there's something much more useful to pay attention to instead?

In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips is joined by her sister-in-law, Susannah Myerson, founder of the Sober Curious Reset, to discuss something so many women are contemplating in mid-life: how to drink less. Whether you’re about to embark on Dry July, feel the need to cut back, or are simply curious about what life might look like with less alcohol, Susannah’s tips will help you navigate the shift. About the guest: Susannah Myerson is an Executive Producer based in Sydney and is nearly seven years sober. She is the founder of the Sober Curious Reset, a four-week guided online program for women questioning their relationship with alcohol. The Reset isn’t about labels, rock bottoms or quitting forever. It’s a supportive, peer-led space where women can get honest, feel less alone, and explore what might be possible with a break from drinking. Because as Susannah discovered, giving up alcohol wasn’t the end of the story. It was just the beginning.JOIN THE JULY RESET: https://sobercuriousreset.com/#section-LJ2HHPv_NuSober Curious Reset website: https://sobercuriousreset.com/Sober Curious Reset Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sobercurious.reset/Susannah Myerson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susannahmyerson About the host: Amelia Phillips is an exercise scientist, nutritionist, and published researcher (BSc, MNut) with a career spanning 26 years in health.

Send us Fan MailMost people don't talk honestly enough about drinking more than they planned.Not because they have no discipline.Not because they are broken.Not because they need more shame.But often because alcohol has become the way they switch off, calm down, reward themselves, or deal with stress, overthinking, grief, or emotional overload.In this episode, I'm joined by Tansy Forrest, clinical hypnotherapist and author of Ten Steps to Drink Less and Live Well.Tansy shares her own story of realizing alcohol had become a coping tool after grief, and how hypnotherapy helped her change her relationship with drinking. Today, she helps high-functioning adults drink less without labels, shame, or all-or-nothing thinking.We talk about:Why alcohol often becomes the “off switch” after a long dayThe connection between overthinking, overworking, and overdrinkingWhy willpower alone usually doesn't workWhy moderation is a skill you can learnHow to plan your drinking before the evening startsWhat to do after a night where you drank more than plannedHow hypnotherapy can help calm the nervous system and interrupt automatic patternsBetter ways to unwind without using alcohol as the only toolThis conversation is not about judging alcohol or telling everyone they must quit forever.It is about awareness, planning, self-trust, and learning how to feel more in control.If you've ever told yourself, “I'll just have one,” and then it turned into more than you planned, this episode is for you.Learn more about Tansy's work at tansyforrest.com , her YouTube Channel @tansyforrest and find her book Ten Steps to Drink Less and Live Well on Amazon.If you want help building healthier routines around food, fitness, stress, and real-life habits, check my coaching options here:personaltrainerturo.it

Together, Dee and Tansy explore the connection between nervous system dysregulation, chronic stress, emotional health, and alcohol habits.This conversation isn't about judgment or labels. It's about understanding what's really driving the behavior and creating healthier ways to support your mind and body.In This Episode You'll Learn:✔ Why willpower alone rarely works long term✔ The connection between stress, cortisol, anxiety, and alcohol cravings✔ Why so many women turn to wine during perimenopause and midlife✔ How nervous system dysregulation impacts daily habits✔ The role of hypnotherapy in changing behaviors and thought patterns✔ Practical strategies to reduce alcohol consumption without feeling deprived✔ How shame keeps women stuck and what to do instead✔ Why moderation can feel impossible when the root cause hasn't been addressedWhether you're curious about your relationship with alcohol or simply looking for healthier ways to manage stress, this episode offers powerful insights and practical tools to help you feel more in control and supported.About Tansy ForrestTansy Forrest is a clinical hypnotherapist and author of Ten Steps to Drink Less and Live Well.

Every summer, millions of women tell themselves the same thing: "I'll deal with this after Labor Day."And every fall, they're right back where they started.In this episode, Christie makes the case that summer isn't the worst time to do this work — it's actually the best. The barbecues, the girls trips, the family reunions, the cooler full of White Claw at every single event from June through August? That's not the obstacle. That's the laboratory.If you're a Catholic woman who loves Jesus, keeps her life together in almost every area, but has this one habit that doesn't quite line up with who you know you're called to be — this episode is for you.In this episode:Why "I'll start after summer" is the habit talking — not wisdomHow your brain is already craving before you've made a single decision (and why that's not weakness)Why summer's social pressure is actually the fastest path to lasting changeWhat God might be doing in the seasons that feel most inconvenientThree things you can do right now — before the next barbecueMentioned in this episode:The Sober(ish) Summer Challenge is coming back this year — and Christie is making it better. Registration isn't open yet, but if this episode resonated, stay close. She'll let you know the moment doors open.→ Follow Christie on Instagram: @thecatholicsobrietycoach → Subscribe so you don't miss the announcementThis podcast is for you if:You don't identify as an alcoholic but you know something's off. You're disciplined, faithful, and quietly non-negotiable about your evening wine. You've tried to cut back. It worked for a while. And now there's a low hum of something — shame, confusion, frustration — that follows you around.You're in the right place.About Christie:Christie Walker is a Catholic sobriety coach and content creator who has been alcohol-free for 29 years. She works with Catholic women in the gray area — not rock bottom, not fine — using a framework built on Catholic faith, identity in Christ, inner healing, and neuroscience.

You know that feeling the morning after you drank too much? Have you ever thought to yourself, "I just don't want to feel this way again"? Regret and guilt can feel like powerful motivators to stop drinking, but the truth is, focusing on what you don't want can actually keep you stuck in the same cycle. If you've ever promised to stop drinking after a rough night, only to repeat the same pattern, this episode is for you. Tune in this week to understand the problem with using regret as motivation to drink less. You'll learn why identity-based motivation is a more effective approach than relying on regret, how to shift from a focus on "what you don't want" to "who you want to become," and how understanding your drink archetypes can provide the clarity and direction needed to make lasting change.

How do you drink less when the world feels overwhelming and everything in you says now is exactly the time you need it most? When the news feels heavy and problems feel too big to fix, the urge to reach for a drink can feel completely justified, even necessary. This episode explores what's really driving that urge and why the surface explanation often misses something important. Tune in this week to learn how the story attached to your emotions creates urgency, why feeling anxious about your anxiety intensifies the desire to escape, and how to start separating what you feel from what you make it mean.

In this episode, Colleen revisits one of the hardest ideas to trust at first: that before your drinking changes, you have to stop making your drinking the enemy. And yes… that can feel dangerous. Because the moment you stop restricting, judging, and trying to control yourself, your brain often swings the other direction. It sees a loophole. It tests the boundaries. It acts like the rebellious teenager who just got told there's no curfew. But Colleen explains why that doesn't mean the work isn't working. It means you're finally coming face to face with the internal conflict that's been there all along. She breaks down how restriction backfires, how your body knows when you're lying to yourself, and why the real work of emotional sobriety isn't about forcing better behavior. It's about learning how to feel the whole truth, question your programming, and rebuild trust with yourself one urge at a time.

Hypnosis and moderation rarely share the same sentence—until you understand how your brain decides to drink. We sit down with Australian clinical hypnotherapist Georgia Foster to unpack a practical, science‑aligned approach to reducing alcohol that starts by changing state, not shaming behavior. Georgia explains why the amygdala's fear and urgency often override the best intentions, how the inner critic fuels that cycle, and what it takes to bring the prefrontal cortex—the calm, planning center—back online when it matters.You'll hear how two common patterns show up in overdrinking. The perfectionist white‑knuckles through the week, then binges on relief because there are no references for slow, present drinking. The pleaser says yes to keep the peace, struggling to stay alcohol‑free in social settings. Georgia shows how hypnosis creates new “future references” by rehearsing success in the alpha‑theta window, the natural state between wake and sleep. By pairing imagined events with emotions like confidence, ease, and clarity, the brain encodes a different blueprint—so at a wedding, work dinner, or solo evening at home, choice feels obvious and safe.We also dig into mindless home routines, the difference between emotional and habitual drinking, simple tactics like “drink one, water one,” and why many people discover they don't even like what they were pouring once the inner critic quiets down. Georgia shares who responds fastest to hypnotherapy, when to seek additional support, and why building self‑esteem is central to long‑term change. Along the way, we talk about privacy, digital programs, and her goal to help one million people drink less by replacing shame with skill.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who could use a gentler path, and leave a quick review—your words help others find evidence‑informed help and start their own change.To learn more about Georgia's work: https://shop.georgiafoster.com/To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Is your relationship with alcohol driven by habit or a hidden "inner critic"? Today on Eyes Wide Open, we're joined by world-renowned hypnotherapist Georgia Foster to discuss her revolutionary "7 Days to Drink Less" program and why willpower is actually the weakest tool for changing your habits. In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional architecture of drinking and why societal shame often prevents real progress. Georgia Foster explains the actual science of hypnotherapy, debunking the "magician" myths to show how the subconscious mind holds the key to moderation. We explore the personality types behind drinking, from perfectionists to people-pleasers, and discuss how to silence the inner critic that drives the urge to over-consume. This is an honest conversation about finding the middle ground, removing the stigma of "quitting," and reclaiming your authentic self without the weight of alcohol-induced shame. Key Takeaways & Revelations Willpower vs. The Mind: Why willpower is ineffective for long-term change and how hypnotherapy targets the emotional root of the habit. The "Middle Ground" Approach: Why drinking less is often a more sustainable and achievable goal than complete sobriety for many individuals. Boredom & Emotional Triggers: Understanding how curiosity and awareness can dismantle the automatic response to drink when bored. The Inner Critic: How addressing the negative internal dialogue can stop the cycle of "shame drinking" and perfectionism. Personality Patterns: Identifying the difference between "perfectionist" and "pleaser" drinking styles to create a personalized path to wellness. Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.

Why does the wine start calling at 5pm—even when you promised yourself this morning you wouldn't drink tonight? In this episode, Colleen breaks down exactly what's happening in your nervous system when willpower fails, why high achievers are stuck in chronic stress mode, and how the shame spiral is actually making you drink more. Plus, three body-based tools you can use tonight to complete your stress cycle and finally give your body what it's actually asking for. Key Takeaways: Your desire to drink at night isn't weakness. It's your nervous system asking for relief the only way it knows how. Your body doesn't speak English—she speaks energy, movement, rhythm, breath, and sensation. The habit that needs to break isn't how much you drink. It's the belief that you have to stay in constant motion. Expanding capacity isn't about doing less. It's about teaching your body how to hold more without living in survival mode. When you learn to give your body what it actually needs, the drink becomes optional—not because you're white-knuckling, but because you're not desperate anymore. The Three Tools: Shaking/Swaying — All animals shake off stress. Release the energy that got stuck in your muscles. The Voo Exercise — Deep breath in, then "vooooo" until all the air is out. Stimulates your vagus nerve. Bilateral Stimulation — Left-right rhythmic movement (walking, tapping shoulders, tapping thighs) tells your nervous system you're not frozen.
