- This episode offers valuable insights and a thought-provoking discussion that challenges prevalent narratives around parenting and alcohol.
I was a wine mom in my early years of motherhood. Not only did I share the mommy needs wine memes, I created some. So I was all in because I believed this narrative that we need wine as a crutch because this is really hard. And it wasn't until I realized this wasn't a crutch. This was self-sabotage because I was drinking to the level where I would wake up with hangovers. - Celeste Yvonne
