Normative alcohol culture dictates to us what's normal and what's safe and what's- quote-unquote, healthy, uh, which is zero amount, by the way, um, in terms of alcohol consumption, but it also encompasses the ways that we think about it and interact with it and speak about it.
Ever felt the pressure to join the 'mommy wine' crowd or wondered why alcohol seems so deeply embedded in our daily lives? In this episode of 'The Weekend Sober', hosts Kim, Kezia, and Catherine sit down with sobriety mindset coach Amy C. Willis to tackle these very questions.
Amy, hailing from Toronto, Canada, brings her expertise to the table, shedding light on how Big Alcohol influences us and what it means to live in a world where drinking is often seen as the norm. The conversation dives into the concept of normative alcohol culture, exploring how societal norms dictate our relationship with alcohol and what we consider 'normal' drinking behavior.
They also discuss the pervasive 'mommy wine' lifestyle, a trend that subtly pressures mothers to cope with parenting stress through alcohol. Amy shares her insights on adopting a more mindful approach to life, offering practical advice on how to break free from these ingrained habits. The episode also touches on Amy's coaching methods, including the benefits of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) in addiction recovery.
The hosts and Amy explore the challenges of judgment in female friendships and how to foster a supportive environment for those choosing sobriety. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the impact of alcohol culture and looking for ways to navigate a sober life with confidence and support.
