When you have a lifestyle you love cutting
down on wine can be hard.
When you love wine, hosting, and all your friends drink it, it can be hard to navigate a time to not drink.
Who wants to say no to:
-
A big, fun, friend-filled room with a heaving table.
-
A day out with the girls and champagne at the races.
-
Maybe a cheeky lunchtime rosé with a client.
-
Date night on the couch with a nice pinot.
-
An impromptu brunch with the neighbours.
​
However, you might have noticed that as you get older, the niggling voice to cut down gets louder.
We think headaches, weight gain, and broken sleep should be more of a deterrent.
Or at least the negative self-talk and the emotional upheaval.
​
But the truth is, at this age, life can already feel like an uphill battle—especially when you're menopausal.
​
And the last thing most of us feel like doing is taking away what sometimes feels like our only pleasure.
​
​
But we try.
​
We start the day with such good intentions, but...
-
A stressful day at work.
-
A tempting call from the girls.
-
A moment of conflict followed by relief.
-
Justifying it to yourself, thinking it was "one of those weeks."​
​
A couple of glasses turn into most ( or all ) the bottle.
You don't recover like you used to.
You've been messy a few more times than you'd like to remember.
And maybe you're not as truthful as you could be with the Dr.
And you seem to be missing a lot more yoga.
And even though it’s easier not to think about it. You find yourself wondering - is this a bit of a problem?​
Most of us think that in order to cut down on wine we have to focus on how much we drink .
Which often leads us to challenges, detoxes, and becoming a hermit.
​
This usually triggers all-or-nothing behaviour and an inevitable sense of failure in control or discipline.
​
But that’s not the way to change your drinking habits—unless your plan is to be sober.
And if that’s the case, you’ll need to rely on willpower and grit, neither of which lead to finding balance in how you drink.
​
If your goal is to enjoy your lifestyle but do so in a way that finds balance, it’s a personal journey.
It’s about understanding the nuances of how you’ve conditioned yourself to think and unravelling those thinking patterns and the consequent emotional shifts.
​
We overdrink wine because we experience an overdesire to drink. Desire is an emotion, and emotions come from the thoughts we think.
​
​
The only way to change the way we drink is to reset the way we think.
Hello, I'm Maree a Life Coach, I run an online and in-person coaching practice in Jan Juc, Australia.
​
Among other things, I teach and coach women how to find their wine balance.
Not only am I a wine lover, but in my previous life—before coaching—I worked in hospitality in various roles for over 30 years.
I don’t just enjoy alcohol; I understand it.
​
In fact, I discovered coaching because I was over drinking.
I tried a lot of techniques but nothing worked—until I found coaching.
​
Coaching helped me answer the question I’d been stuck on:
Why am I still overdrinking when it’s clear I want to cut back?
​
It also showed me what I needed to see to drink in a way that aligns with how I want to live—and actually follow through.
​
Since then, I’ve developed my own program tailored specifically to women like me.
For nearly ten years, I’ve been teaching this proven process, and it’s my mission to help as many women as possible make the connection between how they drink and how they think and feel.
​
Overdrinking wine is boring, and if it keeps happening, it can feel soul-destroying.
​
​
​
I find it very frustrating that women are sold wine not properly supported about why we overdrink.
​
Did you know most doctors are aware that women over 40 tend to overdrink?
​
The Australian Government tells us what to do and why to do it—but there’s very little relatable support to teach women how to achieve it.
​
When it comes to alcohol-related liver disease, liver damage can happen more quickly in women.
​
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, women who drink heavily are more vulnerable than men to heart muscle damage and nerve damage, even after fewer years of heavy drinking.
​
Alcohol also increases our risk of developing breast cancer. In Australia, up to one in 10 cases of breast cancer is linked to drinking, according to the Alcohol and Drug Foundation.
​
The fact is, most of us are aware of these kinds of statistics—that’s the niggling feeling we get when we know we’re overdrinking.
​
But the truth is, as women, we won’t change behaviours unless we have an emotional connection.
And in my experience, statistics don’t create enough emotional impact.
​
This is why I’m passionate about educating, teaching, and coaching women on how to transform their thinking and find that beautiful balance with wine-drinking behaviours.
