Summary

Today my 9 year old daughter, Lila, is joining me on the podcast to chat about how I talk to my kids about alcohol, why I quit drinking and what she thinks about her mom being a sober coach (and a podcaster!)  A lot of women in early sobriety wonder how to discuss their drinking or not drinking with their kids, and of course every family is different. But since I get asked this question a lot I decided to ask my daughter to chat with me about it. ​As we talk you’ll hear from Lila that she… ​ ✅ Knows that mom used to drink a lot and stopped and that dad still drinks a bit and both are OK ✅ Is aware that when mom was drinking she woke up at 3am and was anxious and sometimes it made her throw up because alcohol is poison to your body ✅ Understands that alcohol is addictive and how that works (using a metaphor that makes sense to her) ✅ Knows that sober milestones are a big deal and a “Soberversary” is something to celebrate ✅ Thinks it’s cool that I help women stop drinking ​Lila also shares that she thinks I can seriously up my TikTok and YouTube game, her take on the patriarchy, women getting paid less than men, Taylor Swift, diet culture + a whole lot more. 😊 I hope you enjoy this one.

But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle

of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,

affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to

this is your sign to do something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking,
