Have you ever joked, “I need a glass of wine after today”—without realizing your kids were listening? Stress and drinking are often paired in our culture, but what message does that send at home?
In this episode, I sit down with Adriana Cloud—a certified Gray Area Drinking coach, life coach, hypnotist, and host of the How to Drink Less podcast. After being a daily drinker for over a decade, Adriana quit in 2020 and now helps others create the sober—or sober-ish—life they truly want.
Together, we explore:
✔️ Why people turn to alcohol to manage anxiety
✔️ The difference between wanting a drink and needing one
✔️ How parents may unknowingly model stress-drinking for their kids
✔️ Healthier ways to cope with stress and build resilience
Whether you’re rethinking your own relationship with alcohol, or you’re considering the example you’re setting for your teens, this conversation is full of practical insight and encouragement.
