Hosted by Erica Mallery, alcohol mindset coach and former daily wine drinker (and weekend binge drinker), this podcast explores mindful drinking, harm reduction, nervous system regulation, and emotional wellness for women who want to drink less, feel better, and laugh more! 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":"Letting Go in Motherhood: Nervous System Healing, Identity Shifts & Building Your Village","slug":"letting-go-in-motherhood-nervous-system-healing-identity-shifts-building-your-village","published_at":"2026-02-09T11:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shameover-the-drink-less-podcast-6992327/letting-go-in-motherhood-nervous-system-healing-identity-shifts-building-your-village","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shameover-the-drink-less-podcast-6992327","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/54aeb3db7f7c931e105c8a172686a1d83cde5b734a2f120b6463652965c187fd/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI3YzI5YzE4OC0wYmE0LTRlODctYjBjNy0xZDg0ZDdhNjdmZDUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIzOTNiMTlkMi1hZjAwLTQ1NmYtYjBkZS0yNjM2Njc2YWRlZTQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OGQ1N2M1ZDhkMGQyOTBiMWY5ZWNkNjEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjk4MzZmNTA5ZjIyOGVkODljYTEyY2ZlL2VyaWNhLWFuZC1zaGFtZW92ZXJzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTItNF9fMTctOS01Mi5tcDMifQ==.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/54aeb3db7f7c931e105c8a172686a1d83cde5b734a2f120b6463652965c187fd/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI3YzI5YzE4OC0wYmE0LTRlODctYjBjNy0xZDg0ZDdhNjdmZDUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIzOTNiMTlkMi1hZjAwLTQ1NmYtYjBkZS0yNjM2Njc2YWRlZTQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OGQ1N2M1ZDhkMGQyOTBiMWY5ZWNkNjEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjk4MzZmNTA5ZjIyOGVkODljYTEyY2ZlL2VyaWNhLWFuZC1zaGFtZW92ZXJzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTItNF9fMTctOS01Mi5tcDMifQ==.mp3","summary":"In part two of this powerful conversation on the ShameOver Podcast , I’m back with Shauna, the Mystic Herbal Doula , to explore what so many women struggle with after having kids — letting go. Letting go of control. Letting go of who you used to be. Letting go of unrealistic expectations, comparison, and the pressure to “get back” to yourself. In this episode, we shift beyond the physical side of postpartum and into the nervous system, emotional healing, and identity work that so often gets overlooked — yet impacts everything from your mood and energy to your habits, coping mechanisms, and relationships. We talk about: Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps women stuck How to regulate your nervous system during overwhelming seasons of motherhood Simple, accessible tools for emotional release (journaling, body scans, rituals, meditation) Why you don’t need to “find yourself again” — and what to focus on instead The subconscious beliefs driving control, perfectionism, and burnout How caffeine, blood sugar, and daily habits affect your nervous system Why community and connection are essential for mental health How to build a village as a mom — even when it feels awkward or uncomfortable This conversation is especially for deeply feeling, highly sensitive women who care deeply, give constantly, and often put themselves last. Healing doesn’t come from doing more or pushing harder — it comes from slowing down, releasing what no longer serves you, and allowing yourself to be supported. 👉 If you haven, you listened to Episode 1 , start there for the foundation on postpartum recovery, hormones, nutrition, and the “bounce back” myth.
