Mommy Needs Wine—or Does She?

from Parenting and Personalities · host Kate Mason, Stories and Strategies

Ever asked yourself, “Why do I really drink?” Kate sits down with award-winning podcaster and author Victoria Vanstone for a no-holds-barred conversation about her 25-year journey with alcohol, identity, anxiety, and ultimately, sobriety. From teenage mischief to mummy wine culture, Victoria unpacks the emotional roots of her drinking, the societal pressures that glamorize alcohol, and the transformation that came with finally letting it go. Full of humour, heart, and hard truths, this episode invites listeners to reconsider what “normal” drinking looks like—and whether it’s truly serving them. Listen For04:45 – Teenage Beginnings: Party Culture and the Need to Belong13:56 – The Moment She Knew: “I Think I Need Help”18:27 – Sober Curious: The Gentle Reframe That Helps People Start26:31 – How Sobriety Made Her a Better MomLeave a rating/review for this podcast with one clickConnect with guest: Victoria VanstoneInstagram | Sober Awkward Instagram | Website | LinkedIn | Facebook | TikTok | Podcast | Book Contact Kate:Email | Website | Kate’s Book on Amazon | LinkedIn | Facebook | X
