We know alcohol is everywhere in motherhood—from mommy wine memes to girls’ nights out—but do we actually understand what it is and what it’s doing to our bodies?
In this eye-opening episode of Fizzy and Free, I’m joined by Registered Dietitian Emily Tills of Nourished with Emily to break down what alcohol really is, how it affects your body, and why it often leaves moms feeling anxious, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of guilt and shame.
Whether you're a casual drinker, sober curious, or navigating the emotional toll of white knuckling through early sobriety, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t hear in mainstream wellness spaces.
🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:
What alcohol actually is (spoiler: it’s not harmless)
How alcohol affects your metabolism, hormones, and mental health
The connection between alcohol and depression, anxiety, and burnout
Why understanding alcohol is a game-changer for moms trying to cut back or quit
✨ Knowledge is power—and this episode will help you make informed, empowered choices about what you’re putting in your body.
