Love You More Podcast
As a dietitian who works in behavior change, I've noticed a common theme in my work: the need for people to give themselves permission for true self care. But, sometimes, the world makes us feel like self-care should be ONE more thing we strive for leaving us feeling like we even fail at this! The Love You More podcast is here to support you in your personal journey towards being there for THE most important person in your life: YOU.

Ep 74: Sober Curiosity as Self Care with Casey McGuire Davidson
Episode summary:
Jen welcomes sobriety coach and Hello Someday Podcast for Sober Curious Women host Casey McGuire Davidson for an honest, compassionate conversation about alcohol, self care, and nervous system regulation. Casey shares her personal journey from high achieving, wine every night corporate life to ten years alcohol free, unpacking how drinking quietly fueled anxiety, poor sleep, and emotional overwhelm and how stopping changed everything.
Together, Jen and Casey explore Dry January, sober curiosity, and why taking a longer break from alcohol can be transformational rather than restrictive. Casey reframes self care as emotional awareness, boundaries, and meeting your needs without numbing, offering practical insight for anyone curious about how life, relationships, and joy can expand when alcohol is no longer the default coping tool.
