In this episode, we meet Belinda Stark, an alcohol and mindset coach dedicated to helping midlife women transform their drinking habits and live their best lives.
Belinda shares her inspiring journey of overcoming postnatal depression, breast cancer, and career changes to find her true purpose.
Transitioning from a high-functioning drinker, she now guides women in midlife to explore their relationship with alcohol, especially during perimenopause, and to achieve greater happiness and overall health.
She delves into the complexities of "grey area" drinking, navigating social settings as a non-drinker, and realizing that lasting change requires more than just willpower.
Here's what's cool: Belinda offers a fresh perspective on drinking, encouraging people to redefine their relationship with alcohol while maintaining the freedom to enjoy a drink guilt-free.
What you'll learn in this episode:
o Trusting your intuition for answers during challenging times.
o Being dealt a huge blow two weeks into owning a new business.
o Living her passion was the perfect distraction for battling a serious health challenge.
o Understanding grey area drinking and how it can creep up and consume your life.
o How one text message influenced a life-changing decision.
o Curiosity led to her breakup with booze and to embrace sobriety.
o How alcohol can exacerbate the symptoms of perimenopause.
o Why mindset, not willpower, is key for lasting change.
More about Belinda:
My mission is to empower midlife women to transform their relationship with alcohol—whether that means drinking less, taking a break, or stopping altogether—by helping them make mindful, shame-free choices rooted in self-trust, not willpower.
Through compassion, connection, and clarity, I guide them to reclaim their voice, their joy, and the life they truly want to live.
