Are you curious about going sober?

Maybe you’ve been thinking about quitting alcohol but haven’t been able to commit to it, or you’re in the cycle of trying to quit and then caving after a few days. In this episode of Her Unleashed, Casey Davidson and I are talking about how busy, ambitious, high-achieving women can quit or take control of their drinking. The reason it’s so hard is because you don’t have the right information and tools at your disposal. That’s where this episode comes in. 

Casey is here to teach you how to quit drinking in an alcohol-obsessed culture so you can feel and perform at your best. If you often feel stressed or anxious, have trouble sleeping through the night, or experience brain fog, alcohol could be to blame. There are a lot of other surprising symptoms that are caused by alcohol that no one talks about, so Casey is pulling back the curtain to teach you what you really need to know if you want to optimize your health. 

Casey Davidson is a certified life coach, sober coach, and ex-red-wine-girl who helps busy women quit drinking and create the lives they love without alcohol.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Unexpected ways alcohol can affect your body
• The first step to take if you’re sober curious
• How to break the cycle that always leads back to drinking 

Could the sober life be for you? Tune in to find out.

Did you know that balancing your hormones is one of the best things you can do for your body?

In this episode of Her Unleashed, I’m sharing some introductory information on what hormone optimization is and why it’s so important, especially in your 40s and beyond.

Think of this as your beginner’s guide to hormones. I’m teaching you what different hormones do for you and how your symptoms indicate which hormones could be out of balance. I’m also touching on how to balance and optimize your hormones, although this is something we’ll explore in more detail in future episodes. For now, I just want you to have a basic grasp on what hormones you have, what roles they play in your body, and what happens when they are out of balance. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• What hormones are and what they do 
• How hormones affect everything in your body 
• The hormonal changes that happen in perimenopause 

If you have mysterious symptoms that your doctor can’t explain, or you struggle with things like sleep, mood, focus, and libido (to name a few), this episode has answers for you.
