What happened for me That Day was the denormalization that heavy drinking- for me, a woman- was the answer to all of my prayers.
Ever felt the pressure to unwind with a glass (or three) of wine after a long day of parenting? In this eye-opening episode, Lynn Matti tackles the growing 'mommy drinking' culture and its impact on women's health. Lynn doesn't shy away from discussing the history and societal factors that have made heavy drinking seem almost acceptable among mothers.
Drawing from her personal experiences and professional insights, she sheds light on the shame and stigma that often accompany honest conversations with medical professionals about drinking habits. Lynn also reviews a recent segment from The Today Show featuring psychotherapist Kelley Kitley, Laura McKowen, and Aidan Donnelley Rowley, adding her own perspective on the rapid increase in binge drinking among women. Beyond alcohol, she delves into the normalization of anti-anxiety medications and the concept of 'gray area drinking'.
If you're a mom who's ever questioned your relationship with alcohol or felt the societal push to drink as a form of stress relief, this episode offers a compassionate and thought-provoking look at why now might be the time to rethink that nightly glass of wine. Lynn's blend of humor, wisdom, and real talk makes this a must-listen for anyone navigating the tricky waters of motherhood and mental wellness.
