Summary
Alcohol might be one of the longest-standing relationships in your life, and today's episode will give you permission to grieve the breakup.
You were taught to put alcohol on a pedestal - a magical substance that ‘would make every experience better’. Realizing that lie might come with sadness, confusion, anger, and...yes, grief.
Lean into that. Feel it all. You won't stay there.
I’m proud of you. Keep going.

| 0:21.4 | This is for you. |
| 0:22.9 | I will be having candid, honest, funny conversations with other moms who have also thought, |
| 0:29.3 | hmm, maybe motherhood is better without alcohol. |
| 0:33.2 | Is it possible? |
| 0:34.6 | We'll chat and we'll talk about all things sobriety and how we've found freedom |

| 1:37.8 | floor in my favorite sweatpants and my sweatshirt, no bra, sorry, and no makeup, no, just nothing, not camera ready and just sit |
| 1:48.4 | and talk to you. So that's what I'm doing today. You know, a lot of the topics that I cover here, |
