Uncorked: Mary Alice Stephens on getting honest with a side of humor

This week on The Happiest Hour, I’m joined by author Mary Alice Stephens for a conversation that felt like sitting across from a friend who just gets it.We talk about her incredible book, the stories behind it, and the moments that made us both stop and question what had become so normal.We get into:• Mommy wine culture and the messages women absorb about alcohol• The “witching hour” and using wine as a reward or coping tool• Our experiences with AA and how it positively impacted both of us—even though neither of us are active today• The gray area between “I’m fine” and “this isn’t working anymore”• Humor, honesty, identity, and creating a life that feels good without alcoholMary brings so much warmth, self-awareness, and humor to this conversation, and I think so many women will see themselves in parts of her story.Grab your coffee, your walk, or your quiet moment—and join us.🎙️ The Happiest Hour with Paula Devine
