We are officially deep in the holiday season, and if you’re navigating early sobriety this can be a challenging time. So today, I’m here with some perspective on how you can protect your peace - even if it means saying no. I’ll share scripts for how you can say no in a way that respects your own needs, whether that be saying no to an event, to friends, or to a drink that someone is trying to place in your hand. You’ve got this. Keep going. Community makes all the difference.

Today’s real sober mom, Glory, credits her kids as the reason why she quit drinking. For her, the mom shame she experienced after a night of drinking became so overwhelming that she knew she couldn’t continue. Still, the challenge of quitting was unlike anything she’d ever experienced. She’d done hard things before - she’d quit smoking, she’d reached her fitness and nutrition goals - why was alcohol so hard to quit? Education and community turned out to be the key. Between quit lit, sober podcasts, and The Fresh 30 and Beyond 30 groups in the Sober Mom Life Cafe, Glory has now been sober for 86 days! Community makes all the difference.

We are smack dab in the middle of December and I don’t know about you, but during this season I often feel like I am the only mom coming up short in a world full of moms who have everything together. It’s times like these that I am so grateful for my sobriety. My sobriety is deeply rooted in motherhood, so today I’m going to share a bit about my parenting philosophy - Half Ass. Whole Heart. The goal of parenting isn’t to strive for Pinterest perfection. It’s to be a safe, steady place for our kids. And for me, sobriety is the key. Community makes all the difference.

Katie and I are back with another installment of SobrieTEA, where we spill the tea about our favorite escape: Bravo and Reality TV! Today we’re digging into RHOSLC and Southern Charm. We’ll talk about the weird in-flight drama that Meredith created. Then, we’ll discuss why the men of Southern Charm get a constant pass on their behavior and choices. Plus - Katie shares the upcoming releases, Katie’s childhood growing up in Potomac, and that one time Suzanne unexpectedly found herself in a bar fight. Community makes all the difference.
