I think it's a myth that there's like a perfect mother out there.
Ever wondered how sobriety intersects with motherhood and feminism? This episode of The Unruffled Podcast brings you an engaging conversation with Leilani Clark, a food and culture writer from Northern California. Hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas dive into Leilani's journey to sobriety and how it has reshaped her life.
They chat about her powerful essay 'Last Drink', featured in the anthology 'All of Me: Stories of Love, Anger, and the Female Body', where she candidly discusses her path to getting sober. Leilani opens up about the joys and struggles of being a mother in recovery, sharing how sobriety has made her more present for her daughter. She also touches on the idea of not drinking as a feminist act, challenging societal norms and expectations around alcohol.
The discussion takes an interesting turn as they explore the unique challenges Leilani faces as a food writer in wine country, an environment where alcohol is omnipresent. Creativity plays a big role in Leilani's recovery, and she shares three key tools from her 'Unruffled Toolbox': dancing, writing, and connecting with sober women. These activities help her stay grounded and inspired on her sobriety journey.
Whether you're a parent, a creative soul, or someone exploring sobriety, this episode offers a rich tapestry of insights and experiences. Tune in for a heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation that might just give you the boost you need.
