548: The Loaded Truth Behind Mom Wine Culture and the False Need to Wine Down with Celeste Yvonne

How often have you thought about committing weeks at a time to abstain from alcohol… but something came up so you caved earlier than you’d hoped?  It’s happened to all of us.  For me, even in my early to mid-thirties, I started to notice alcohol was NOT serving me. Drinking alcohol— even just a few glasses of wine at dinner— felt disruptive to my health. I put weight on fast, my brain felt scrambled, and I felt hazy and moody.  If you’ve been feeling rundown, numb, stressed, or you just know something is off, I highly encourage you to check out this week's podcast. Celeste Yvonne, now 5+ years sober and an AMAZING parent, shares the dangers of mommy-wine culture, and why it’s hiding an even bigger problem happening in our society.  Tap the link to LISTEN and finally take charge of serving yourself more of what your body really needs… less alcohol!
