Wellness Without Wine with Deirdre Coyne
What if life could feel better without wine at the centre of it?
Welcome to Wellness Without Wine, a podcast for women who want to rethink their relationship with alcohol and discover a healthier, happier and more fulfilling way to live.
I'm Deirdre Coyne, a Sober Coach and Positive Psychology Coach. Drawing on psychology, mindset and behaviour change, I'll explore why we reach for wine, how everyday habits become part of our lives, and how we can begin to make different choices.
Together, we'll look at the role alcohol can play in stress, switching off, confidence, emotional wellbeing and our sense of identity. We'll explore practical strategies to help you understand your habits, reconnect with what matters to you and create more of the things you want in life.
Expect honest conversations, bite-sized podshots, practical reflections and deeper dives into the psychology of change.
This isn't about judgement or perfection. It's about curiosity, self-understanding and discovering what life could look like when you start putting your own wellbeing first.
Because this isn't just about drinking less or living without wine. It's about creating a life you genuinely enjoy.
Wellness Without Wine — a fresh perspective on alcohol, mindset and your next chapter.

Micro Breaks: Is Sitting the New Smoking?
Good Morning, I watched a TED talk by exercise scientist Keith Diaz that I thought was interesting and hope you might too. Sitting has been called the new smoking and so many of us sit for most of the day. His team at Columbia University found that just one minute of walking every half hour brought blood pressure down and helped people feel less tired and in a better mood. Five minutes every half hour cut blood sugar spikes after meals by 58 per cent. In this episode I share what I learned an...

Three Good Things
Good Morning, When did you last stop and think about what went well yesterday, instead of everything you didn't get done? In this episode I talk about the concept of three good things, a simple habit from positive psychology that helps you notice the good bits of your day and start the morning on a good note. This week's one thing: each morning, write down three good things from the day before and why each one happened. They don't need to be big. A nice chat, a hot cup of tea or Corrie being ...

Your Evening Shapes Your Morning
Good Morning, Have you ever woken up with a clear head after a good night's sleep and thought, why can't I feel like this every day? In this little episode I chat about how the way we spend our evening has a lot to do with how we feel the next morning. I share my own nothing-fancy evening (a Diet Coke and a Coronation Street catch-up) and one simple thing to try this week. This week's one thing: pick one evening, make it alcohol-free and make it lovely. Then the next morning, before you pick ...

What If You're Not Giving Anything Up?
What if changing your relationship with wine isn't about giving something up, but making room for something better? In this Friday episode of Wellness Without Wine, Deirdre Coyne explores how the way we think about change can shape our experience of it. Instead of focusing on what you might miss, what if you started thinking about what you'd love to gain? More energy, more enjoyable weekends, better mornings, or simply more time for the things that matter to you. Discover a simple question to...
