Hiding Your Drinking: Lauren’s Journey From Mommy Wine Culture to Freedom / EP 82

Welcome back to the Sober & Lit Podcast! In this episode, Ruby and Susan sit down with guest Lauren O’Hanlon—better known as Coach Lo—a certified life coach, former bartender, and ex-mommy-wine-culture enthusiast. Lauren opens up about her personal journey from hiding her drinking behind closed doors to creating a life of clarity, confidence, and genuine connection. Together, they dig into the realities of mommy wine culture, why alcohol became such a normalized coping tool for mothers, and how tolerance and secrecy can creep in without us noticing. Lauren shares the vulnerable moments in her marriage and social life that prompted her to get curious (instead of judgmental) about her relationship with alcohol, and how that curiosity ultimately transformed everything. Plus, the trio discusses the power of a supportive community, embracing imperfection, and finding new ways to “feel lit” and fulfilled—alcohol free.
