The Sober Mom Life

I’ve been glued to The Lindsay Clancy Trial for weeks, and for me it feels personal. As a new mom, I was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety/OCD. As I listen to the testimonies of this trial all I can think is - thank god my help worked.
The Lindsay Clancy Trial is laying bare how much our system downplays the challenges of postpartum women. In today’s episode, I’ll share a bit of my own story, give my thoughts on the expert testimony in the case, and address all of the ways that alcohol is being left out of the conversation.
New moms, if you are struggling please know: You are not alone, and there is help. I know, I was there, and I’m so grateful the help I found worked for me.

One of the biggest worries that newly sober women have is how it will affect their friendships. We’re often told that the friendships that ‘matter’ will withstand our shift to an alcohol-free lifestyle. And the drinking buddies? Yes, they might fade away.

But honestly? It’s not that simple. Friendships are tricky, and sobriety can bring a lot of friendship challenges to the surface.

Today my therapist mom joins me to share her own story of a deep friendship that did not survive her choice to be sober. We’ll talk about what’s really needed from both friends in order to make the shift when sobriety becomes a part of your life, and we’ll lay out what to expect as you navigate this life change within friendships so that you feel as prepared as you can be.

If this is your first sober summer I just want to say - I am so proud of you! Summer delivers so many sober firsts, and it can be very overwhelming. You’ve done an amazing job!

No matter where you are on your sober journey, the end of summer is a great time to check in with yourself. So get out a journal, because today I’ll be asking you seven questions that will help you reflect on what you’ve learned through this summer.

Courtney is back! We’ve arranged our impossible summer schedules to do one of our favorite things - talk about Bravo and reality TV.

We’ll dive deep into our newest obsession - Married at First Sight - by sharing our thoughts on each couple. Plus, we’ll get into the latest developments on The Valley, from ‘Danny Darko’ to Kristen’s extremely relatable postpartum experience.

Plus - Is Bravo losing its reality crown to Hulu and Peacock’s superior production quality? And our catch phrases if we were on a reality show.

You guys, I can’t believe it - we’re reaching the end of summer! It’s very possible that all of your trips and barbecues and family events have now passed. You might be taking stock of how this summer of sobriety has gone for you. Yet, there’s one thing that trips up so many sober moms that most don’t see coming… the boredom that lurks within the dog days of summer.

Boredom can often feel triggering in sobriety, so today I’ll offer you a perspective shift to help you see the beauty and opportunity in boredom. It’s all rooted in going back to the moment you chose sobriety and remembering your ‘why’.
