NOTE: EXPLICIT RATING
It’s so important to learn how to drink less and understand your relationship with food and alcohol in midlife. Over-drinking is common. There’s so much shame and stigma too. Fun times! What’s not common is allowing yourself to think about what you really want in midlife and make decisions from there.
My guest today is Angela Mascenik, the founder of the Stop Over-drinking and Start Living Podcast as well as numerous stop over-drinking coaching programs for women.
Angela is dedicated to helping high-achieving women address the underlying reasons for over-drinking so they can make permanent changes in their relationship with alcohol — while having FUN doing it!
Angela also knows the pain of a life of over-drinking and overeating and through life coaching, she has dropped the weight permanently, quit drinking, and hasn’t looked back.
When Angela isn’t coaching other badass women to start living the life of their dreams she’s drinking coffee, running, hanging out with her 3 crazy kids, reading all the latest self-help and business books, traveling, and enjoying her friends.
Please enjoy this fun and inspiring interview!
