It is kind of like sobriety, that way, that you really have to dig deep and set routines, and you're constantly pivoting too, and sobriety I've found is about those pivots because you could have a structure in place, and there could be other players in that, like a dependent on a couple of other people or structures or systems. And what if those people change what they're doing?
Ready for a fresh season of 'The Weekend Sober'? Kim and Kezia kick things off by catching up after their summer break, sharing the highs and lows of motherhood and sobriety. This episode takes a heartfelt look at how sobriety can sometimes feel like a return to childhood, with both hosts admitting they often feel like they're relearning life's basics.
Kezia opens up about the birth of her son, Tristan, while Kim shares the less eventful but equally challenging moments of her summer with three kids. They dive into the emotional rollercoaster of being moms who are also navigating sobriety, discussing how they sometimes feel stuck in a childlike mentality. The conversation touches on the need for flexibility and routine in sobriety, and how these principles parallel parenting and emotional growth.
Kim and Kezia also explore the importance of self-compassion and gratitude, setting the stage for future episodes that will delve deeper into these themes. Tune in for a mix of personal stories, laughter, and genuine insights into the journey of living alcohol-free.
