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. 💖
