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":"Why Eating Thanksgiving Dinner at 3PM Helps You Drink Less: The Science of Blood Sugar + Willpower","slug":"why-eating-thanksgiving-dinner-at-3pm-helps-you-drink-less-the-science-of-blood-sugar-willpower","published_at":"2025-11-26T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shameover-the-drink-less-podcast-6992327/why-eating-thanksgiving-dinner-at-3pm-helps-you-drink-less-the-science-of-blood-sugar-willpower","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shameover-the-drink-less-podcast-6992327","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/a297d89d2d97c52ed92a9c4cb4de77c6cb6a056dc2012ec23963651607a1f0a5/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJhMWMwNDBiMS1iMDRmLTQ4Y2QtYTI3OC02ZGExNmUwY2IxYTAiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIzOTNiMTlkMi1hZjAwLTQ1NmYtYjBkZS0yNjM2Njc2YWRlZTQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OGQ1N2M1ZDhkMGQyOTBiMWY5ZWNkNjEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjkyNGI0ODJiMWUzYjg2N2FjM2U3NDhiL2VyaWNhLWFuZC1zaGFtZW92ZXJzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI1LTExLTI0X18yMC0zOS00Ni5tcDMifQ==.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/a297d89d2d97c52ed92a9c4cb4de77c6cb6a056dc2012ec23963651607a1f0a5/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJhMWMwNDBiMS1iMDRmLTQ4Y2QtYTI3OC02ZGExNmUwY2IxYTAiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIzOTNiMTlkMi1hZjAwLTQ1NmYtYjBkZS0yNjM2Njc2YWRlZTQiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OGQ1N2M1ZDhkMGQyOTBiMWY5ZWNkNjEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjkyNGI0ODJiMWUzYjg2N2FjM2U3NDhiL2VyaWNhLWFuZC1zaGFtZW92ZXJzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI1LTExLTI0X18yMC0zOS00Ni5tcDMifQ==.mp3","summary":"This quick bonus episode breaks down a question I get ALL the time: “Is there actually a best time to eat Thanksgiving dinner if I want to drink less and feel better?” Short answer: YES. And the sweet spot is around 3PM — and the science behind it is wildly helpful if you want to avoid the overeating → overdrinking → guilt → hangover spiral. In this mini-episode, you’ll learn: ✨ Why blood sugar stability matters — and how eating earlier keeps you out of the “screw it, pour me another” danger zone ✨ How willpower changes throughout the day (spoiler: it tanks at night, which is exactly when we overdo it) ✨ Why 3PM is peak “social eating,” not emotional eating — helping you stay present instead of numbing out ✨ How your circadian rhythm and digestion work together to reduce hangovers and improve sleep ✨ The hidden trap of nighttime drinking (decision fatigue + party lighting + “open bar energy”) ✨ How earlier celebrations naturally reduce multiple drinking windows ✨ Why a mid-afternoon feast sets the stage for mindful sipping, savoring, and connection This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to: 💛 enjoy the holiday (and the wine) 💛 stay grounded and emotionally regulated 💛 avoid the nighttime binge spiral 💛 wake up feeling GOOD, not guilty If you want more Thanksgiving drinking support, go back to Part 1 (Prep Week) + Part 2 (Day-Of Strategy).
