Ep 8 Freedom in Community & Connection

02/14/23 • 27 min

Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom

Do you ever think it is too late to change your relationship with alcohol because you've been drinking for so many years? Are you worried you've missed the opportunity to make lasting changes to your lifestyle?
In today's solo episode, I share two mocktail recipes & the stories of some women in my Mocktail Mom Membership, Thriving Alcohol-Free, who have been encouraged on their alcohol-free journey through community and connection.
I share my heart on this Valentine's Day that you are loved & created for a reason.
From the show:

  • Recipes
    • Two Mocktails From Membership Happy Half Hours:
      • Cosmopolitian Mocktail
      • Pisco Sour Mocktail (low cal & weight watcher friendly)
  • Stories from Member Spotlights:
    • Adrienne - Five months free from alcohol
    • Heidi - Almost 1,000 days free from alcohol ("COMMA DAY" is coming!)
  • Non-Mocktail Related ... no extra charge ;-)
    • Isaiah 43:1: "Now this is what the Lord says, the One that created you, do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine."

Happy Valentine's Day & lots of love from the great state of Kentucky!
My podcast is not perfect, but I hope you'll be encouraged that the fun isn't over & there are still delicious things to drink when you aren't drinking alcohol. Thanks for tuning in while I work out the ins & outs of podcasting: learning not to interrupt my guests (sorry to Jennifer, Ian, and Jess) & getting the audio better situated.

Ep 7 Meet Jennifer: Rock Bottom Not Required, Thriving & Free From Alcohol in her 50s

Let your heart be encouraged by Episode 7 of the podcast. You can break up with wine in your 50s & begin to thrive again in your own life!
Today I had the privilege of chatting with the 1st Founding Member, Jennifer, of my private membership, Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom
Jennifer and I initially connected on Instagram and got to know each other when she participated in a booze break program I offered last fall with Jen Butler of Joy in During.
About Jennifer:
She grew up in West Lafayette, Indiana, and went to Purdue University; after graduation, she moved to the Chicago area. While in Chicago, she was fixed up on a blind date with her husband of 30 years. While in Chicago, she worked in marketing and investor relations and got her MBA at The University of Chicago. After five years in Chicago and nine years in Indianapolis, they settled back in West Lafayette, where they’ve been busy raising four sons. Her family has been her greatest joy in life. Three of their sons are now college graduates; their oldest was married last year! They still have their youngest at home and enjoy every minute with him. Jen is contemplating her next “act” as they rapidly approach empty nest hood. Jen has lived a keto lifestyle for the past five years and always looks for low/no sugar mocktail recipes to share with me!

From the Episode:

  • NA WINES: These are low in sugar! Use code MOCKTAILMOM to save 10% on both of these brands:
  • NA BEER: Sam Adams Just the Haze IPA

Ep 9 Meet Rich Loud: From Daily Beer Habit To Non-Alcoholic Ambassador

Let your heart be strengthened and encouraged by Episode 9 of the podcast as you meet my guest, Rich Loud.
In early April 2020, Rich Loud realized that his drinking was becoming too much of a daily habit. So, with the support of his family and a couple of friends, he stopped. Although at first, he thought his social life was pretty much over, after about a month, he tasted his first non-alcoholic beer, realized he got the flavor and experience he wanted but none of the negative effects, and a whole new world opened. Fast forward to almost three years alcohol-free and he is having more fun than he ever thought possible. He is tasting all the NA beers, mixing amazing NA cocktails, and even discovering excellent NA wines. For Rich Loud, being alcohol-free is the best adventure.

From the Episode, Rich's Favorites:

  • Mocktail: Speechless featuring Lyre's Highland Malt, The Pathfinder, All The Bitter Aromatic & Orange + Luxardo cherry juice.
  • NA Wines: Joyus Cabernet Sauvignon & Lautus Savvy Red. Code MOCKTAILMOM saves $ on either of these wines.
  • NA Beers (depends on the situation): WellBeing Intentional IPA, WellBeing Victory Wheat, Busty Lush Oatmeal Stout & Rescue Club Brewing
  • Hashtag: #SpottedInTheWildNA

  • Herren Project: https://herrenproject.org/
  • Chris Herren of The Herren Project, click HERE to his talk at TEDxUMassAmherst. His in-person talks are longer, with more detail, and are a little more updated but his story is the same.
