Feeling like you need a glass of wine to survive motherhood? You’re not alone, but it might be time to rethink that. In this episode of 'Soberful', hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers sit down with Celeste Yvonne, a writer and sober mom who once embraced the 'mommy needs wine' culture. Celeste opens up about her journey from writing wine-loving memes to realizing she couldn't be the parent she wanted to be while drinking.
Now, she's on a mission to debunk the myth that alcohol is a mom's best friend. The conversation dives into how society gaslights mothers into believing they need alcohol to cope, the hidden toll it takes on mental health, and its impact on kids. Celeste shares her path to sobriety, the importance of community support, and why self-reflection is crucial.
This episode offers a refreshing perspective on motherhood without the booze, encouraging moms to find healthier ways to navigate the challenges of parenting.
