Quit. Drinking. Subconscious. Mom.
A podcast for high-functioning moms rethinking their relationship with alcohol — and ready to uncover what’s really driving it.
If you’ve ever asked,
“Why can’t I just have one and be done?”
There’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re just running an old subconscious program — one that’s not built for the life you’re living now.
As moms with full calendars and zero margin for error, we need a different way in. One that works beneath the surface — and fits inside real life.
Hosted by me - Claudia Micko — belief provoker, pattern breaker, and mom who knows the whisper of an evening drink all too well — this podcast meets you where you are and takes you where you haven’t gone (yet).
We talk:
– Subconscious patterns
– Emotional triggers
– High-achieving women and alcohol
– And why moderation often isn’t the safer path
No labels. No shame. Just radical clarity.
Because once you see the truth, the decision to quit isn’t a struggle — it’s a relief.
Let’s start this journey together. 💖
Quit. Drinking. Subconscious. Mom.
#1: My Journey with Alcohol – my 4 Phases
Welcome to the very first episode of Strong Moms and the Booze's Whisper! 🎉 In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey with alcohol—how I went through four distinct phases before realizing it was time to stop drinking and reclaim my life.
If you’re a mom who has started questioning your relationship with alcohol, you’re in the right place. Maybe you feel like your drinking is creeping into places it doesn’t belong, or you’re tired of planning around it. Trust me—you are not alone.
What to Expect in This Episode:
- Phase 1: “Beginning - want to be seen”
I talk about how my relationship with alcohol started as a teenager—a way to fit in and be noticed. - Phase 2: “Establishing - regular use for relaxing”
How alcohol became my tool for unwinding during my twenties, when I thought I was in control. - Phase 3: “Doubting - drinking as a Mom”
The mental gymnastics and energy I spent on keeping my drinking “manageable” while juggling motherhood. - Phase 4: “Quitting - stop the Booze”
The moment I knew I had to quit—and the surprising, life-changing discoveries that came after I stopped.
I’ll also introduce the idea of the “booze’s whisper”—that sneaky voice in your head convincing you to pour another glass even when you don’t want to.
Why This Podcast?
This podcast is like my sobriety journey—it’s starting scrappy, it’s going to be imperfect, but it’s here. And just like I’ve learned from my failures in quitting alcohol, I’ll learn and grow with this podcast.
Sobriety isn’t easy, especially when alcohol has been a part of your life for decades, but I’m here to share my learnings, insights, and the big truths I’ve uncovered.
Key Takeaway:
You’re not alone. Alcohol has a sneaky way of slipping into our lives and taking more than it gives—but together, we can figure this out.
