The Real Sober Moms with Jaime and Lauren

Today we’re bringing you a Real Sober Moms double header with two interviews - Jaime and Lauren! Jaime grew up in a drinking culture and by the end of high school she felt like drinking was part of her personality. This lifestyle continued into college when she attended a party school, and followed her into her marriage since drinking was the main way she and her husband would connect. Things became harder once she had kids, and she began drinking more to cope with the stress. As she neared 40, Jaime began worrying about her health and she realized that she had developed a worrisome dependency on alcohol. It was finding the sober moment online that led her to realize she could quit even if she hadn’t been rock bottom! The benefits she’s found in her newly sober life - better skin, lower stress, enhanced quality time with her kids and more - has made it so easy to never want to go back. Lauren, a Harvard and MIT grad, is a great example that anyone can be lured in by mommy wine culture. Lauren was an anti-drinking DARE representative in high school who began drinking when she entered college as a way to mask social anxiety. Drinking was also how she and her future husband bonded, but Lauren never knew how her body would handle drinking. After many blackouts and an incident at a resort pool that left her with a lot of shame, Lauren decided it was time for a change. Lauren comes chock full of great advice on how to handle friendships and social events in your transition to sobriety! Join The Sober Mom Life FB group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1542852942745657We have merch!!!!  Check it out here! This Naked Mind - (affiliated link) https://amzn.to/3PaCM7VAtomic Habits - Click here.Love this show?
