I'm glad that I have you on today because I know that you're very active on social media. And what I've found is there's a lot of sober moms, or just moms that don't want to drink but they feel pressured into doing that stuff. You just have to push back against the norm a little bit.
Picture this: a mom juggling the chaos of daily life, with a glass of wine always within reach. In this episode of Recovery Happy Hour, Tricia Lewis sits down with Brandy, a mother who once found solace in 'mommy wine culture' but has since swapped her wine glasses for water bottles. Brandy opens up about her struggles with addiction and eating disorders, painting a vivid picture of the societal pressures that pushed her towards alcohol.
She doesn't shy away from the tough stuff, discussing the stigma surrounding sober parenting and how it made her journey even more challenging. But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's one of triumph. Brandy found her footing in supportive sober communities and discovered the power of self-care and mindfulness. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone feeling trapped by addiction and societal expectations.
If you're a parent, or know someone who is, and you're curious about how to navigate sobriety in a world that often glorifies alcohol, this episode is a must-listen. It's an honest, heartfelt conversation that reminds us all that it's okay to put down the wine glass and pick up something healthier.
