Alcohol & Motherhood

This week on the podcast, I'm adding the 20th episode in the "Alcohol &" Series. We're talking all about Alcohol & Motherhood. What is "wine Mom culture" and what does it mean beyond increased drinking amongst mothers? I'm also sharing some of the lessons I learned from my own mother about alcohol and how I hope that I'm changing her legacy with my own children.  Ready to get started on alcohol minimalist living?
