Jen Butler's Journey: Breaking Free from Mommy Wine Culture

I'm forever grateful and I am grateful every day for the fact that I did not hit rock bottom, because I have people in my life who did, and it's really scary and horrible. So I just love this idea that you don't have to go there to decide you want to make a change, especially with alcohol use.
Motherhood is tough, and for many, the pressure is compounded by societal norms like 'Mommy Wine Culture'. In this episode of the SHE RECOVERS Podcast, Jen Butler, a Certified Professional Life and Recovery Coach, opens up about her battle with gray area drinking and how she found her way to an alcohol-free life. Jen spent ten years as a stay-at-home mom, relying on wine to cope with the chaos of motherhood.
It wasn't until 2018 that she realized her drinking habits were problematic and decided to make a change. Today, she dedicates her life to helping others who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, and overwhelm. Jen's story is a beacon of hope for those feeling trapped in similar situations. She shares how community and coaching played pivotal roles in her recovery, providing the connection and accountability she needed.
Jen also delves into the importance of setting boundaries in motherhood to maintain one's identity and self-care practices. One of the standout messages from Jen is that you don't need to hit rock bottom to seek help. Her emphasis on self-reflection and self-trust offers a refreshing perspective on recovery. Throughout the episode, she highlights the resources provided by SHE RECOVERS, which aim to redefine recovery, inspire hope, and end stigma.
If you're grappling with similar challenges or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Jen's journey is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about reclaiming your life and finding authentic purpose.
