If you’re tired of all-or-nothing sobriety messaging, sick of the shame spiral around drinking, or curious about Dry January alternatives, this podcast offers a compassionate, empowering approach to change. Each episode blends real talk, science-backed insights, and practical tools to help you understand why you drink, how to reduce overdrinking, and how to reconnect with yourself—without labels, rock bottoms, or giving up your social life. Topics include mindful drinking, moderation, rebound drinking, emotional regulation, identity, self-trust, and breaking free from the wine-o’clock detox-to-retox cycle. Lose the hangover, not the booze—and take your power back.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shameover-the-drink-less-podcast-6992327"},"episode":{"title":"How to Drink Less at Holiday Parties, Work Events & Social Gatherings (Without FOMO)","slug":"how-to-drink-less-at-holiday-parties-work-events-social-gatherings-without-fomo","published_at":"2025-12-17T12:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shameover-the-drink-less-podcast-6992327/how-to-drink-less-at-holiday-parties-work-events-social-gatherings-without-fomo","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shameover-the-drink-less-podcast-6992327","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0f02c79117e46c012201c4beef3f1fe511bd2ca5967b2078018a266e207c972b/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJiNTkxNGVjOC1lYzFjLTQ0ZGItYjA3YS0zNWNhODdmMjhiMTgiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIzOTNiMTlkMi1hZjAwLTQ1NmYtYjBkZS0yNjM2Njc2YWRlZTQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OGQ1N2M1ZDhkMGQyOTBiMWY5ZWNkNjEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjk0MWQ3ZDIzMWZjYjdkZjYxYjEyMzMwL2VyaWNhLWFuZC1zaGFtZW92ZXJzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI1LTEyLTE2X18yMy02LTEwLm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0f02c79117e46c012201c4beef3f1fe511bd2ca5967b2078018a266e207c972b/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJiNTkxNGVjOC1lYzFjLTQ0ZGItYjA3YS0zNWNhODdmMjhiMTgiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIzOTNiMTlkMi1hZjAwLTQ1NmYtYjBkZS0yNjM2Njc2YWRlZTQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OGQ1N2M1ZDhkMGQyOTBiMWY5ZWNkNjEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjk0MWQ3ZDIzMWZjYjdkZjYxYjEyMzMwL2VyaWNhLWFuZC1zaGFtZW92ZXJzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI1LTEyLTE2X18yMy02LTEwLm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"Holiday parties.
