"From Wine Mom to Free Mom: A Journey of Sobriety and Self-Discovery"
Seth sits down with Alicen, a real estate broker, military veteran, and mother of three who celebrates over 800 days of continuous sobriety after decades of battling alcohol dependency. Alicen shares her deeply personal story—from her first drink at 14 that led to being suspended from her high school basketball team, to becoming a "wine mom" who secretly pre-gamed dinner with friends, to finally finding freedom in sobriety at age 40.
With refreshing honesty, Alicen recounts how she hit her breaking point not with a dramatic rock bottom, but through quiet desperation. The conversation delves into her transformative journey through early sobriety's challenges, including navigating going to downtown Nashville with friends, an all-inclusive resort trip, and becoming an owner of a bar at a lake - all while alcohol-free.
Now thriving in her business, marriage, and motherhood, Alicen offers hard-won wisdom about breaking habits and dependency, the dangerous normalization of "mommy wine culture," and why simply removing alcohol wasn't enough—she had to rebuild her identity. Her story is a powerful testament that you don't need to lose everything to gain everything.
