EP 55 Getting Real About Midlife Sobriety With Lori Massicot

Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom

Embracing a life free from alcohol can feel like you're hiking alone up a huge mountain—but it doesn't have to be. Joining me is Lori Massicot, a fantastic certified life and sobriety coach and the amazing host of the To Fifty and Beyond podcast, dedicated to helping midlife women aged 35+ find freedom from alcohol. Lori is taking a stroll down memory lane and vividly sharing her own ascent to a decade of sober living, which honestly took her by surprise.
In our heart-to-heart, Lori and I get real about our histories with alcohol, the midlife identity crises (hello, grief!), and how breaking free has given our lives a major makeover. We chat about the mental battles of that tricky first year sober and why having a solid support crew is non-negotiable, especially when society's shouting for you to hit the bar again. And let's not forget the midlife crossroads; Lori spills the beans on her lifelines, and we dish about self-care must-haves like regular exercise and journaling. Plus, we dive into the ever-growing world of non-alcoholic options.
No matter where you are on your sober journey, Lori's story is packed with takeaways to give you that extra boost!
