Welcome to the Alcohol-Free Mom podcast; a candid, front-porch style introduction recorded live in the car (because life is busy). I create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for women navigating life after alcohol, whether that means sobriety, moderation, or anything in between.

I share my personal drinking history, the challenges of parenting and marriage while changing habits, and practical tools that helped me (like HALT and short distraction techniques). I emphasize giving yourself grace and finding community instead of isolation.

Episodes will be released weekly and will cover rebuilding health, relationships, identity, and everyday life' offering support and real conversation for anyone looking to change their relationship with alcohol.
