When you're assessing your drinking in our gut, we intuitively know if it's working for us or not.
Ever wondered why the 'mommy drinking culture' has become so pervasive? In this episode of 'Beyond Theory', Kelley Kitley, a national mental health media expert and author, dives into the roots and dangers of this troubling trend. Kelley opens up about her own struggles with alcohol abuse and how it affected her family life. She shares how her best friend's journey to sobriety was a wake-up call that led her to confront her own issues with drinking.
This conversation is a candid look at how societal norms and gender roles can shape our attitudes toward alcohol, often leading to harmful behaviors that are easily dismissed or even celebrated in social settings. Kelley also touches on the role of social media in perpetuating these harmful norms. With the holiday season around the corner, she offers valuable advice on being mindful of escapism and honoring your feelings instead of numbing them with alcohol.
Whether you're a parent feeling the pressure to fit in or someone looking to break free from harmful drinking habits, this episode provides insightful reflections and practical tips for making healthier choices. Tune in to 'Beyond Theory' for an engaging and eye-opening discussion that could be the first step toward positive change.
