Alcohol isn't going to fix the systemic lack of support for mothers--and pretending it's the solution to surviving motherhood does more harm than good.

Jacqueline is joined by Celeste Yvonne, a sober mom advocate, writer, and certified recovery coach well-known across social media as @theultimatemomchallenge. She's an author of her new book It’s Not About the Wine: The Loaded Truth Behind Mommy Wine Culture and has been featured in The Washington Post, Good Morning America, and Refinery 29.

 “I imagine a future where binge drinking isn’t an expected part of the college experience, where friends meeting up for drinks automatically includes both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options, and where a mother struggling elicits genuine concern and offers of support instead of jokes about wine being the solution to anything that ails her. What an inclusive, supportive, glorious world that would be.”  -Celeste

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to start your sober journey
• Female drinking: What are we doing to ourselves and why are we doing it?
• How Mommy Wine Culture distracts us from the real issue: getting support for mothers who are truly struggling
• Why growing up in a family of addiction doesn’t give you an advantage to not fall into the same patterns
• Why Celeste kept her sobriety secret for a year

Thanks to social media, pregnancy announcements are all the rage. The cute photos, gender reveals, curated videos... but if you've struggled with infertility or are experiencing pregnancy after loss, you may be wondering when "should" you share the news? Spoiler alert: there's no wrong answer.

Take a listen as Jacqueline shares when and how she announced her pregnancies (all five of them!) and how her different experiences can shed some light both on the pros of sharing your news early and waiting until you're further along.

Positive test? Go for it! First ultrasound? Sounds like a plan. 12 weeks? Classic. Anatomy scan? Great!
