Is It Safe to Drink Alcohol While Breastfeeding? The Hidden Harm No One Talks About

You gave up alcohol for nine months to protect your baby—so why do doctors and midwives tell you it’s okay to start again while breastfeeding?

 

This episode exposes the dangerous myth that alcohol and breast milk can safely mix. We’re not here to shame—we’re here to tell the truth.

 

If alcohol passes into your bloodstream, it passes into your milk. And if your baby drinks that milk, they feel the effects. Less feeding. Less sleep. More stress. And long-term? Potential delays in development.

 

We also explore something deeper:

Even if it’s not in the milk… it’s still in the room. Your child sees everything.

 

So if you’ve been feeling conflicted, this episode isn’t here to judge—it’s here to help you find clarity.

 

You’ve already shown your strength. Now let’s help you keep it.

 

If you’re a new mum, pregnant, or planning to be, STRIVE Foundations can help you navigate this journey without alcohol.

 

You don’t have to be ready to quit—just ready to look.

Curious About Alcohol? The Lie That Destroyed My Family

They told us alcohol was fun. That it brought people together. That it made love deeper, sex better, grief bearable.

 

But they never told us it could destroy our families.

 

In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on The Liquid Lie—the first workshop inside STRIVE Foundations. This isn’t just another podcast about not drinking. This is a wake-up call. A chance to see the stories we’ve been spoon-fed since childhood for what they really are: programming designed to keep us small, silent, and stuck.

 

We’ll explore how the Liquid Lie nearly ruined my marriage, how I broke free, and how you can too—even if you’re not ready to quit.

 

Because here’s the truth:

Your desire to drink isn’t your fault.

But it is your responsibility.

 

So let’s take the first step together—no pressure to stop, no shame if you’re not there yet. Just curiosity, courage, and a willingness to look.

Caught Lying About Sweets? What It Taught Me About Drinking

The other day, I caught my daughter lying about stealing sweets—and it hit me hard.

 

Not because of the sweets.

 

But because I recognised the pattern. The same energy I once brought into parenting—command and control, dominance and fear—is the energy I used to bring into my own inner world. Especially when I wanted a drink.

 

In this episode, I explore how our reactions to our children mirror our reactions to our PARTS… and why both need more curiosity, not condemnation.

 

This one’s for you if you’ve ever said, “I hate that part of me—it ruins everything.”

 

You don’t need a perfect script.

You need the right energy.

You don’t need to fight the PART that wants a drink.

You need to lead it.

Megan Thoma – The Power of Being Seen in Love

🎧 Ever since you stopped drinking (or started thinking about it), your relationship feels different.

Not broken. Not doomed. Just… real—maybe for the first time.

 

In this raw and revealing episode, I sit down with relationship coach and Master Coach Megan Thoma to explore the uncomfortable—but liberating—truth:

 

✨ When you remove alcohol, the mask comes off.

✨ When the mask comes off, the performance ends.

✨ And when the performance ends? That’s when love finally begins.

 

We talk about the real reasons people hide in relationships, how alcohol keeps us disconnected from our needs, and what it takes to finally be seen without the numbing.

 

Whether you’re single, married, or stuck somewhere in between—if you’re getting honest about your relationship with alcohol, this conversation will open your eyes to everything else that’s been waiting to heal.

 

🔥 Curious about your drinking? You don’t have to be ready to quit.

You just have to be ready to look.

Why Do We Wait to Drink? Because the Lie Starts Early

They told us to wait.

Wait until we were 18.

Wait until we were “adults.”

Wait until we’d earned our place in the tribe.

 

But what exactly were we waiting for?

 

In today’s episode, I dive into the twisted logic of the legal drinking age—and how it doesn’t protect us from alcohol, it prepares us for alcohol reliance. We explore how the moment you’re told to wait, your PARTS start craving what’s forbidden. How the rite of passage becomes a rite of programming. And how the Liquid Lie wraps itself around our sense of identity long before we ever take a sip.

 

This isn’t just about laws—it’s about the culture that shapes our beliefs, our behaviour, and our sense of belonging.

 

If you’ve ever felt like alcohol made you someone—or feared who you’d be without it—this one’s for you.

 

Listen now and reclaim your story.

Scared to Lose Friends Without Alcohol? You’ll Find Better Ones

Ever looked at your friends and wondered, “How did we even become friends?”

I didn’t—until I stopped drinking. And when I did, everything changed.

 

This International Friendship Day, we’re unpacking the messy truth about relationships built under the influence. Not just alcohol, but cultural pressure, emotional hunger, and the desperate human need to belong—even if it means betraying ourselves.

 

I’ll share how quitting alcohol triggered a friendship reckoning, what PARTS of us cling to relationships out of fear, and why some connections aren’t meant to follow us into our alcohol-free life.

 

Let’s get honest about the friendships that no longer serve us—and how we open the door to ones that do.

 

Because you’re not losing friends.

You’re losing masks.

And what you’ll find underneath… is real connection.

Is Plant Medicine Just Another Liquid Lie?

What if I told you ayahuasca might be just another form of alcohol?

Not chemically. But energetically. Intentionally.

 

In this episode, I reflect on a series of videos from my mentor Preston Smiles about the beauty—and the danger—of plant medicine. I don’t speak as an expert on psychedelics. But I do speak as someone who’s helped thousands break free from alcohol’s grip.

 

And what I see today is that too many people are replacing one Liquid Lie with another.

 

Because it’s not about the substance. It’s about the state you’re in when you choose it.

 

So ask yourself:

Are you reaching for something from SELF?

Or are you still hoping to be rescued?

Struggling With Relationships? Heal Your Nervous System First

You’re trying to be kind.

But you keep snapping.

You want to connect.

But you keep pushing people away.

 

It’s not because you’re a bad person. It’s because your nervous system is fried—and if you don’t heal it, love can’t land. Not in your marriage. Not with your kids. Not even with yourself.

 

In this episode, I share a powerful quote from Spiritual Millionaire by Preston Smiles—and unpack what it means to lead with love, even when everything in your body is screaming to protect.

 

You’ll learn how to identify the PARTS of you that panic, how to regulate your system in real time, and why the deepest intimacy begins not with another—but with SELF.

 

Whether you’re struggling in your marriage, your friendships, or your relationship with alcohol, this episode could shift everything.

Alcohol Wrecked His Life—Now He Sells It

Imagine this: your father dies from alcohol. You nearly lose yourself to it too. And then—without a blink—you build your fortune selling it. That’s what California Governor Gavin Newsom did. And Stephen Bartlett? He let it slide without a single challenge.

 

This is the Deaf Effect. It’s how the Liquid Lie survives—through silence, contradiction, and collective denial.

 

In this episode, I break down how this psychological phenomenon stops millions from ever facing the truth about alcohol… even when it’s screaming in their face.

 

We’re not here to judge Bartlett or Newsom. We’re here to turn the mirror inward.

 

Because the Deaf Effect isn’t just “out there.”

It’s in us.

 

Let’s talk about the gap between what we know—and how we live.

 

STRIVER, if you want to live a SELF-led life, AFAF—this one’s essential listening.

 

Listen in. Reflect. And if it lands, leave a comment saying:

“Today, I will not drink.”

 

Much love, and STRIVE on.

Lee

Think You’re Choosing to Drink? The Lie That Keeps You Stuck

You think you’re in control when you pour that glass—but what if you’re not?

 

In today’s episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, we dive deep into The Power of Choice, one of the most transformative workshops inside the STUCK Phase of the STRIVE Method. You’ll learn how most people aren’t actually choosing to drink—they’re obeying PARTS of themselves rooted in fear, shame, and habit.

 

Lee shares a personal story of quitting caffeine without struggle—and reveals how that ease came from SELF, not from a desperate PART trying to prove something. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “choosing” to drink, this episode will challenge that belief at its core.

 

By the end, you’ll have a new lens for every decision you make—and the tools to reclaim your sovereignty.

 

🎧 Let’s unmask the lie that’s been keeping you stuck.
