Sober Self-Care for Moms Who Feel Like They’re Drowning

June 18, 2025

 

If wine feels like the only way you can get through dinner, laundry, or one more bedtime meltdown—this episode is for you.

In this powerful solo episode, I’m diving deep into the emotional truth behind mommy wine culture and why it’s not about the alcohol—it’s about the overwhelm, burnout, and emotional depletion so many moms are silently carrying.

We’re breaking down:

  • Why quantity doesn’t define a drinking problem—intention does
  • The emotional load motherhood places on women (and what alcohol pretends to fix)
  • 3 real-life sober self-care tools that actually work when you’re overstimulated and exhausted
  • How to shift from using alcohol as a coping mechanism to building a self-support system that lasts

Whether you’re already sober, sober-curious, or just tired of feeling like wine is your only relief—you’ll leave this episode feeling seen, supported, and empowered.
