Jen Butler, MBA, CPC, CPRC, SRCD, spent a decade as a stay-at-home mom before becoming a Certified Professional Life and Recovery Coach and SHE RECOVERS® Coach. To cope with the rollercoaster of motherhood and enabled by wine mom culture, Jen was stuck in the fog of gray area drinking until 2018.

As a coach, she provides connection and accountability – the very keys that helped her start her own journey to alcohol freedom – to gray area and heavy drinkers who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, and overwhelm. Jen empowers her clients to create change, nix negative self-talk, rediscover self-trust, and live with authentic purpose. A graduate of Brown University and the University of Cambridge (UK), Jen lives in Chappaqua, NY with her husband, two children, and three dogs.

In this episode, our team member Kelly Fitzgerald Junco has a lively conversation with Jen all about the perils of mommy wine culture, Jen's definition of gray area drinking, and how we can reach more people in these populations who may need help. Jen speaks about recovering from perfectionism and the benefits of helping women as a Coach.

Kelly McDaniel, LPC, NCC, CSAT, is a licensed professional counselor and author, specializing in treating women who struggle with relationships. As the first clinician to name an attachment injury as Mother Hunger, she explores the legacy of maternal deprivation. Her book 'Mother Hunger', speaks to the millions of women who suffer with a life-long emotional burden that adversely affects self-worth.

This podcast episode is Dawn Nickel and Kelly's live session of #MentalHealthMonday.

An endless ache to love and be loved. Periods of overeating or starving. A pattern of unstable moods and painful relationships.

Do any of these sound familiar?
Trauma psychotherapist and author Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors — and are unable to stop.

Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With Mother Hunger, Kelly McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood attachment injuries and their lasting impact.

In doing so, she de-stigmatizes the shame that can come with being under-mothered and misdiagnosed, and offers a healing path with powerful tools that include therapeutic interventions and lifestyle changes.

In this session of #MentalHealthMonday, Kelly McDaniel weaves her 30 years of research, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of mothering myths, to explore 'Mother Hunger' and provide an opportunity to understand and heal the misunderstood root of poor eating patterns, chronic relationship disappointment, and distorted self-image.
