Today’s Real Sober Mom, Jennifer, is celebrating one year of sobriety! To celebrate, she is coming full circle and telling her story here on the podcast after feeling so supported by other women who have shared their stories in the same space. 

Alcohol found its way into Jennifer’s life through her older brother, and as they became adults a culture of partying became central to her family dynamic. This family dynamic weaved its way through her relationship with alcohol, even as she navigated liver issues in her twenties and cancer in her thirties. 

Jennifer began to question her relationship with alcohol after she completed treatment for colon cancer. Once she realized that she was a ‘gray area drinker’ she began to explore quit lit and hired a sober coach, but it took some time for sobriety to fully ‘click’ for her. The Sober Mom Life community served as a major turning point for Jennifer as she realized for the first time that she wasn’t alone. 

With a year of sobriety under her belt, Jennifer shares about how sobriety has impacted her family dynamic, and how finding new ‘tools’ to cope in place of alcohol has made all the difference in her life.

Therapy can be a life changing experience, but it can be so unclear on where to start and how to navigate the experience! So today, our resident therapist Susan (my mom!) is here to give us a crash course in Therapy 101. 

She’ll share insight into how to find a good therapist, the many different therapy modalities that you can consider trying, what it looks like to really feel your feelings with the guidance of a professional, and what to do if you feel like you need more from your therapist or if you are ready to move on.

Today we’re doing a deep dive into RHOC, where Tamara brought of the ancient drama of Naked Wasted at a lie decector party. We went back and refreshed our memories by watching Naked Wasted (Season 4, Episode 8 if you’d like to do the same) and we have some THOUGHTS! 

After we explore the toxicity of RHOC we’ll dip our toes into the palette cleanser of Real Housewives of Miami and recap our thoughts on their trip to Seville. 

Plus: Unknown Number, why Bravo is more enjoyable now that we’re sober, and our personal experiences with ADHD and OCD minds.

Author Jessica Guerrieri joins me for a chat about her incredible novel, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. This book is a must read for any woman who has struggled with Mommy Wine culture. 

Jessica shares openly about her own 12 year sobriety journey from alcohol, which included a relapse into addictive behavior surrounding THC and pills. We’ll talk about the similarities between alcohol and THC and the troubling trend within the cannabis market to market to sober and sober curious women. 

We’ll also touch on the intersection between addiction and OCD, the joys of sober motherhood, problematic representations of alcohol in media, and Jessica’s journey to publishing the book!

Texas born Lauren knew how to operate without alcohol. Though she was a heavy drinker in high school, she learned early on through her mother’s cancer journey that sometimes sobriety was necessary in order to attend to life’s challenges. It wasn’t until she was a mom of two that alcohol became a crutch that she consistently leaned on. Lauren chose to leave her career when she had her second child, and the resulting identity crisis she experienced was jarring. She turned to alcohol because it was one of the few things that helped her feel like herself. 

When Covid hit, alcohol became even more central to her life, but she continued to feel worse and worse. She had a turning point when she listened to the classic Huberman Lab podcast about alcohol’s effects. For the first time she wondered: what if alcohol was the problem? 

Twenty-six days of sobriety seemed to show her the truth. She felt so much better sober, in every way. A girl’s trip at the end of her sober stretch resulted in major FOMO, though, and alcohol slipped back into her life. This began a years long teeter totter of sober curiosity until she found Fresh 30 within the Sober Mom Life Cafe. The small group experience gave her the support she needed to feel seen and understood. 

Lauren has stayed sober since last summer, and has been a regular in the Cafe, Fresh 30, and on the retreat. She is so grateful for the support she’s received in this community!

Katie and I are back with another installment of SobrieTEA, where we spill the tea about our favorite escape: Bravo and Reality TV!

Today we’re talking about Scheana’s book, My Good Side. We highly recommend it! 

Then we’ll move to The Valley Reunion Part 1 and discuss the great news that Jax is leaving the show! We’ll discuss the why behind his departure and what can happen when reality plots stop being fun and start getting scary. Plus, we’ll touch on why Janet’s 'adderall and pilates’ comment was so problematic. 

Next up is The Real Housewives of Miami. What a great season! We’ll get into the screen shotted text message powerpoint, the narcissism party, and how a life of partying has likely contributed to Peter’s unexpected aging. 

And finally we’ll give our thoughts on the web of fights that are bubbling up on the Real Housewives of Orange County. 

Plus! Suzanne and Katie share their Bravolebrities Mount Rushmores. 

Tell us about your own Bravo Mount Rushmore by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts!
