The Wine O'Clock Woman

The Wine O’Clock Woman New episodes every Wednesday Monthly guest conversations This is a podcast for women who are drinking more than they'd like, but are unsure about going sober forever. It names the pressure, the mental load, the constant responsibility, and the quiet ways women keep going while losing who they are. I’m Rebecca Thomson, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, former teacher, and mother. I support women to step back from alcohol long enough to break the pattern and decide whether it has a place in their lives at all. Alongside solo episodes, I host conversations with women who have changed their relationship with alcohol, and with specialists who speak to the realities behind it, menopause, motherhood, anxiety, grief, neurodiversity, social pressure, and high pressure careers. Drinking isn’t the problem. It’s the signal. This podcast is about understanding our relationship with alcohol better, and naming what is really going on underneath Wine O'Clock.

  Episode 53 | Guest Conversation: Fuck Shame — with Sunehna Balu

  Aug 14, 202640 min

  Shame has a horrible way of convincing us that our drinking says something about who we are. In this conversation, I’m joined by Sunena Balu to look at shame from a very different perspective. Why so many women carry it, how it can become tangled up with drinking, and why beating ourselves up rarely helps us change. This is a warm, refreshingly honest conversation about an emotion that can feel incredibly heavy and why it might finally be time to say, fuck shame.

  Episode 52 | Guest Conversation: Have You Disappeared Inside Your Own Life? with Tami Goulet

  Jul 31, 202623 min

  What happens when the children leave home, work begins to slow down, and life suddenly becomes quieter? In this thought-provoking conversation, I'm joined by retirement and life transition coach Tami Goulet to explore why so many women reach midlife feeling disconnected from themselves. Together we discuss identity, purpose, empty nest, retirement, and why wine can quietly become the thing we look forward to most. If you've ever wondered Who am I now? or felt like you've spent years taking care of everyone except yourself, this episode will leave you feeling seen, and hopeful about what's possible next. More about Tami: Tami Goulet is the founder of Speak Your Soul Magicks™, a shop and coaching practice in Ottawa, Ontario, where she guides women through The Second Half of Leaving™. She works with women who already did the brave thing. They left. Nobody warned them there was a second half, the part where they get to remember the woman underneath the roles, responsibilities, and survival strategies that carried them this far. Her work helps them stop saying yes when they mean no, hear what they actually want again, and stop going quiet at their own dinner tables. Part best friend, part cheerleader, part mirror, part tough love, Tami brings the practical and the magical together. She is the author of Whole All Along and serves as G100 Regional Chair for Ontario, Canada.

  Episode 51 | I Don't Think My Drinking Is Bad Enough

  Jul 21, 202611 min

  Have you ever caught yourself thinking... "My drinking isn't bad enough to ask for help." You're not alone. In this episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck for years—the belief that you have to hit rock bottom before you're "allowed" to change. We'll explore why alcohol isn't the real problem, why willpower keeps letting you down, and why understanding your relationship with alcohol is the first step towards lasting change. If you're tired of the mental battle, constantly negotiating with yourself, and wondering if life could feel different, this episode is for you. The Homecoming group programme begins on 1st September. If you're ready to stop fighting yourself, book a conversation with me. We'll explore where you are now, what's been keeping you stuck, and whether Homecoming is right for you. You'll find all the booking details in the show notes. The goal isn't simply to drink less. The goal is to need alcohol less. If this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.

  Episode 50 | Where Self-Sabotage Really Starts

  Jul 14, 202612 min

  "I'm a logical person. I know alcohol isn't helping me... but it's like I'm sabotaging myself." It's something I hear from women all the time. But what if self-sabotage doesn't start with pouring the first glass of wine? In this episode, I explore where the cycle really begins, why so many women stay stuck in silence, and the belief that keeps them carrying it all on their own. If you've ever found yourself asking, "Why do I keep doing this?" this episode might help you ask a much better question. If this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.

  Episode 49 | Guest Conversation: Retirement - You're Not Done Yet! with Jo Hands

  Jul 10, 202629 min

  Retirement is something most of us plan for financially, but very few of us prepare for emotionally. In this conversation, Jo Hands and I explore what happens when the career you've worked so hard to build comes to an end, and why so many women find themselves asking, "What now?" We talk about identity, purpose and ambition in the next chapter of life, and why retirement doesn't have to mean slowing down. In many ways, it can be the beginning of something entirely new. Jo also shares her own story of stopping drinking, the surprising health changes she experienced, and why so many of the symptoms she thought were menopause disappeared once alcohol was no longer part of her life. This is a conversation about possibility. If retirement is on the horizon, or you're already there and wondering what comes next, I hope it leaves you feeling excited about the years ahead. More about Jo: Jo Hands is a life transitions coach and founder of RE:Life Rewire. She helps people navigate the identity shifts that often come with midlife, particularly when a defining professional role is ending, changing or being questioned. Her work focuses on helping people design what comes next with purpose, clarity and confidence. 🎁 Get Jo's FREE Odyssey Planner – a simple 20-minute guide to help you think about what you want from the next chapter of your life.
