Summary

How do you navigate life as a sober mom when the alcohol industry has spent millions of marketing dollars to embed the “mommy needs wine” message firmly in our culture? How do you talk to other moms about your decision to take a break from drinking and see what it’s like to be a sober mom? Motherhood without alcohol can feel like a foreign concept for many of us. We’ve been convinced, through advertising, marketing, social media and each other, that drinking is our well earned reward for the hard work of motherhood. It's time to retire the Wine Mom cliché. It's a stereotype that's trite, insulting and minimizes the genuine difficulties of motherhood. It's insulting, trite and actually dangerous. Sober moms are stepping outside the box, modeling healthy coping mechanisms for their kids and prioritizing their own mental and physical health rather than checking out in the evenings with a substance that actually increases anxiety and depression.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Hello Sunday podcast, the podcast for busy women who are ready to drink less and live more.
0:10.2	I'm Casey McGuire Davidson, ex-red wine girl turned life coach, helping women create lives they love without alcohol.
0:18.4	But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle
0:23.1	of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,
0:28.6	helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love
0:35.0	affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage
0:39.5	my responsibilities. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets of creating
0:46.5	and living a life you don't want to escape from. Each week, I'll bring you tools, lessons,
0:52.8	and conversations to help you drink less and live more.
0:56.6	I'll teach you how to navigate our drinking-obsessed culture without a buzz,
1:01.0	how to sit with your emotions when you're lonely or angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed,
1:06.9	how to self-soothe without a drink, and how to turn the decision to stop drinking from your
1:12.6	worst-case scenario to the best decision of your life. I am so glad you're here. Now let's get
1:19.2	started. Hey, it's Casey. If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking but keep
1:26.3	pushing it off, this is your sign to do
1:29.9	something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink last night?
1:35.8	I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that next big
1:42.8	event or maybe next month. But here's the thing, waiting
1:46.9	doesn't make it easier. What does? A game plan that actually works. That's why I want you to come
1:54.8	join me in my free master class, five secrets to successfully take a break from drinking, even if you've tried and failed before.
2:04.8	In this free class, I'm going to show you why your past attempts haven't worked and what to do
2:10.8	instead. The mindset shifts you need to make this break feel doable and even exciting.
