Let’s be real—if you’ve ever rage-folded laundry or cried over spilled yogurt, this episode is for you. 😅 We’re digging deep into what’s really going on beneath the wine o’clock routine and unpacking a powerful (and slightly uncomfortable) truth: sobriety doesn’t just take away the booze—it brings back all the feelings.
In this episode, I’m talking about emotional sobriety—what it is, why it’s so hard, and how it’s actually one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our kids.
What You’ll Hear:Why alcohol feels like it’s helping… until it’s not
The truth behind the quote “a drunk mind speaks a sober heart”
Why sobriety can feel like an emotional tsunami (spoiler: it’s normal)
The difference between numbing and processing feelings
How emotional sobriety helps us show up better for our kids
Simple tools to regulate emotions without reaching for a drink
Why learning to feel is messy—but also freaking powerful
If you’re early on in your alcohol-free journey or just curious about what life could look like without the nightly glass (or three), this episode will meet you right where you are—sweatpants, mom brain, and all.
