The difference now, having been a sober parent for 10 years, is that I cut myself way, way, way more slack than I ever did when I was drinking. Because when I was drinking, I felt like every mom was doing everything that I was doing. And so I had to do it just as well as they did because they couldn't know that I was hungover as shit or that I was buzzed.
Parenting is tough enough, but doing it sober adds a whole new layer of challenges and triumphs.

Whether you're a sober mom or just curious about life without alcohol, this episode promises a mix of laughter, real talk, and inspiration.
