In this episode, we're diving into the heart of mommy wine culture and exploring what it means to truly unwind, without the glass in hand. We’re getting real about why wine has become such a fixture in mom life and the surprising alternatives that help us relax, recharge, and find joy in the chaos. Join me as we rethink self-care, connect with what genuinely helps us feel good, and discover new ways to break free from old habits. This one’s for every mom ready to find a better way to unwind!

In this episode, I'm speaking from the heart! Sharing my first journal entry on my sobriety journey and diving into the person I want to be while asking you that same question! And of course, I have a correction to make. Today I am 163* days sober. Math was never my strong suit. ;)
