When Alcohol Meets Menopause: One Woman's 30-Day Experiment That Changed EverythingIn this episode, I sit down with Claire for a raw and refreshingly honest conversation about the powerful — and often overlooked — connection between alcohol and menopause. Together, we unpack how so many women mistake perimenopause symptoms for the effects of drinking, and how that confusion can keep us stuck, unwell, and searching for answers in all the wrong places.We explore how giving up alcohol for just 30 days can unlock a chain reaction of clarity, healing, and self-discovery — and why the wine o'clock habit is rarely about the wine at all. We also dive into the booming alcohol-free market, the role of gut health, and why there is not a single menopausal symptom that isn't impacted by alcohol.Importantly, we shine a light on the courage it takes to change — whether that means setting new boundaries with friends, having honest conversations with partners and children, or simply trusting yourself when the doctors keep telling you everything is fine.And for anyone who has ever felt judged for ordering sparkling water at a girls' night out… this one is for you.00:00 Introduction 01:31 Claire's Story: When 30 Days Became Seven Years 03:02 The Decision to Take a Break from Alcohol 07:14 What Those Emails Revealed About Alcohol and the Body 09:03 Noticing the Changes: Clarity, Energy, and Brighter Eyes 10:14 Shifting Friendships and Social Pressure 13:33 Boundaries, Menopause, and the People Around Us 15:02 Making the Connection Between Alcohol and Perimenopause 17:08 The Birth of Mindful Sips — and Menopause Dawn 21:19 What to Say to Someone Just Joining the Dots 23:10 Talking to Our Children About Menopause 25:54 The Alcohol-Free Market: How Far It's Come 29:13 Stepping Stones or a New Way of Living? 32:05 Five Years From Now: Claire's Vision 34:29 What the Menopause Coach Diploma Really Gave HerConnect with Claire: Menopause Dawn | (coming soon) Mindful Sips | (coming soon)FREEBIE: Grab my 12 Week Core Program, ABS ON FIRE https://www.amandathebe.com/abs-on-fire/Menopause Resources https://amandathebe.com/meno-resource/Meet your host Lauren ChirenLauren Chiren is a leading voice in menopause awareness and workplace inclusion, dedicated to ensuring no one navigates menopause alone.As the Founder and CEO of Women of a Certain Stage, she works with organisations worldwide to create menopause-savvy and supportive environments.With a background in psychology, sports therapy, and nutrition, and an extensive suite of coaching certifications, Lauren is on a mission to train 20,000 Menopause Coaches and Champions, equipping them with the tools to support individuals and workplaces through this transformative life stage.Join her as she breaks the silence, challenges the stigma, and empowers people to thrive at midlife and beyond.About Women of a Certain StageWe are committed to transforming the menopause experience — both for individuals and the organisations that support them.Our mission is to empower people through education, advocacy, and expert-led training, ensuring menopause is no longer a barrier to confidence, health, or career success.Join us and our global network of professionals dedicated to breaking the stigma, improving workplace culture, and ensuring no one navigates menopause alone.Find out more here: https://www.womenofacertainstage.com/Connect with LaurenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenchiren/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themenopausecoach/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WomenOfACertainStage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@womenofacertainstage Twitter/X: https://x.com/LaurenChiren
