In this honest and inspiring episode of Self Care Is My Job, host Samantha Long sits down with Amanda May, a sober mom living in wine country, to talk about what happens when we stop numbing and start feeling.

Our culture glamorizes alcohol, especially for moms, but behind every “mommy needs wine” meme lies exhaustion, overwhelm, and disconnection. Amanda shares how she went from numb to powerful after deciding to quit drinking 10 months ago, and why sobriety has brought her more peace, clarity, and presence than she ever imagined.

In this episode, we explore:

- The truth about mommy wine culture

- What “sober curious” really means

- How alcohol impacts your nervous system and emotions

- Reclaiming self care without the wine glass

- Finding community, connection, and clarity in sobriety

If you’ve ever wondered what life might feel like without alcohol, or if you’re just ready to stop numbing and start living, this conversation is for you.
