I thought I was alone in this, I really, really thought, man, nobody else feels as trapped as I do. I just felt like I was in a maddening groundhog's day. So you work in sales and sales is a big, at least I know now I'm going to, of course, date myself here. I know in the nineties that they used to like go all out.
Have you ever felt caught in the 'mommy wine culture'? In this episode of 'The Elizabeth Chance Show', Elizabeth sits down with Meg Geisewite, the author of 'Intoxicating Lies: One Woman's Journey to Freedom from Gray Area Drinking'. Meg's story is one many can relate to—an ordinary mom who found herself ensnared by the allure of casual drinking.
Starting her sober curious journey in November 2019, Meg was driven by her love for science to uncover the harsh truths about alcohol and its deceptive charm. She’s now a truth-teller and best-selling author, flipping the script on the five most intoxicating lies we tell ourselves about alcohol and self-worth. The conversation is a candid exploration of how societal norms, like the hustle culture and pro-drinking attitudes, can trap us in unhealthy patterns.
Meg shares how her family has been her anchor through her alcohol-free journey and how she now finds joy in nature, hiking and biking through Delaware’s beautiful trails. If you're curious about sobriety or feeling trapped by societal pressures, Meg's insights offer a refreshing perspective on breaking free and finding true freedom.
