Summary

Annie Grace and Scott Pinyard tackle the controversial topic of finding substitutes for alcohol. Will drinking a non-alcoholic beverage trigger someone? What are the red flags to look ou for when considering alcohol substitutes? How can you make sure that you’re safe to sample these beverages?

Wouldn’t it be great if our children never had to go through the pain and challenges we faced in our own relationship with alcohol?

This is my greatest wish for my own kids and it’s why I created the most important course I have ever offered — “How To Talk To Your Kids About Alcohol.” If you’ve struggled with alcohol and you’re not sure what to tell your kids about it…If you want to create a relationship with your children that is based upon mutual respect, mutual trust, and open communication…If you know that this conversation is the most important talk you’ll have with your children and it can’t wait any longer…Then this course is for you. It includes lifetime access to six video modules, a bonus recorded Q&A session where I answer questions from parents just like you, an interactive workbook, and our private and exclusive How To Talk To Your Kids About Alcohol online community where you can connect with others who are also navigating this important conversation. Visit TalkToYourKidsAboutAlcohol.com to learn more and enroll today.

And as always, rate, review and subscribe to this podcast as it truly helps the message reach somebody who might need to hear it today.
