In this episode, Casey McGuire Davidson, a life sobriety coach, shares her personal journey with alcohol and its profound impact on her relationships, parenting, and well-being. Casey discusses the societal pressures and stigmas surrounding alcohol consumption, especially for high-achieving women and mothers, and how "mommy wine culture" perpetuates harmful coping mechanisms. She opens up about her struggles with drinking, the resentment it created in her marriage, and how quitting alcohol led to a more peaceful home, stronger boundaries, and greater self-awareness.

  • The challenges of navigating societal norms around drinking, especially for mothers juggling work and family responsibilities.
