Is Wine Really That Bad? What Midlife Women Need to Know About Alcohol with Colleen Freeland
Do you sometimes wonder about your relationship with alcohol?
Should you drink less?
Or not at all?
What does a “healthy” relationship with alcohol look like?
The answers may surprise you.
On this episode I’m joined by Colleen Freeland, an intuitive drinking coach, Founder of Emotional Sobriety Coaching©, and host of the top-ranked It's Not About the Alcohol podcast, for a conversation about women, wine, and the emotional patterns that often drive our drinking habits.
Colleen shares her own story of secretly struggling with alcohol use disorder for over 20 years and the solutions she discovered to create emotional sobriety for herself.
She says it’s about so much more than just the drink in our hand. Much like emotional eating, it’s really about de-coding our emotional cravings and learning to tune in to what we’re truly seeking.
Key Takeaways:
- What intuitive drinking looks like
- Why willpower doesn’t work, and what does
- How to tune into your body’s needs instead ‘numbing out’ with alcohol
Highlights:

13:45 ‘Gray Area’ Drinking
18:45 Sober Identity
