No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Mental Load & Parenting Tips for Moms

The kids are asleep, you’re done with work for the day, everyone has successfully attended their afterschool activities, and it’s time to watch your favorite show and have a glass of wine… or three.

It’s no secret that “Mommy Wine Culture” has become completely normalized; Mom’s joke about using wine to “get through the day” but the truth is - it can be a little scary. Today we’ve got Casey McGuire Davidson, Mom of two and Life & Sobriety Coach, on the show to talk about Dry January and how to do it right. In addition to helping women who do all the things (and drink to forget all the things) change their relationship with alcohol, Casey is also the host of The Hello Someday Podcast for Sober Curious Women. She will be sharing her expertise today in an episode you do not want to miss!
