An Alcohol-Free Irish Woman Thriving in France?! Meet Coach Susan Hodgson

Not Drinking (Alcohol) Today Podcast

Our guest today, Susan Hodgson, is an Irish coach living in France, who helps expats to drink less and find a welcoming sober community abroad.
We discuss how Susan made the choice to step away from alcohol after experiencing anxiety and worried that her alcohol use may be exacerbating it. We also discuss the startling differences between Irish and French drinking cultures and how it can be hard to drink less as an expat when you are trying to find friends and fit into another culture where wine is revered and accompanies every gathering.
Finally, we tackle the broader societal perspectives on women's relationship with alcohol. We discuss how quitting alcohol can lead to genuine laughter, greater positivity, and a more fulfilling life.
