Wine About It

New Years resolution number 2; finding peace and creating boundaries! Saying yes is not a requirement in life. Accepting negative energy is also, not a requirement in life. It’s ok to draw lines and stand firm. Just like “you are what you eat”, your body carries the weight of your mental luggage. Drop the extra bags and be ok saying naw-I’mma-stay (namaste) right here in my happy place! 🧘🏽‍♀️

Kicking off 2026 with the New Year’s resolution that always seems to be on the list…to loose weight!! We all know how it goes; January the gyms are full of good intentions. But come April, we spring back into old habits already deciding to “try again next year”. Let’s start by being realistic and mapping out achievable goals. Let’s find ways to hold ourselves accountable. And let’s show our scale that we’re not backing down without a fight! 🥊

2025 has been full of excitement and struggles. As we head into the new year, let’s take a look at fads, trends, convos and more to decide should they be included in the new year…or should they be OUT! Or just maybe there’s things that simply need to make a blast from the past arrival. 2026…take note and don’t let us down.

This is an episode of transparency and vulnerability. Exploring mom quilt, regret, and shoulda coulda wouldas. Am I giving enough of me? Why does it feel wrong taking time for self? How do I get rid of this built up anxiety that somehow I’m parenting my kids all wrong? Am I the only one that feels like they can’t keep up? I mean, I know I’m not the only one thinking all these things, but why does it still feel lonely?

Yes, you guessed it! This week I’m giving my 2 cents on the recently dropped Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning. This had multiple of my mental tabs consumed; so much to discuss and unpack. But the big question at hand; “Did he do it?”, I certainly think so! Grab a glass and bring a bottle, because 1 pour won’t be enough to cover this topic! Let’s wine! 🍷

Parenting at 40 is just different! What made me think I had patience to handle a toddler in their terrible 2s? Tantrums almost daily, refusal to poop in the toilet, the intense recognition of “mine” and “no” as vocabulary, the “I can do it myself” phase, and a diet of charcuterie style snacking…even though I cooked. 😑 Something tells me the wine budget is about to increase exponentially. 🍷

This week I cover the Chicago story of a pregnant mother and her 9 year old son who were jumped by a group of kids while walking home. Let’s take a moment to question what’s happening in the world around us. What happened to “the village”? Why are situations like this become the norm? And my thoughts on how to help hold accountability where accountability starts…the parents.

Moms, I know you’ll feel me on this! It’s not just the physical, but also the mental juggling that’s soo exhausting. We’re the cleaner, the cook, the chauffeur, the house manager, all while working our 9-5. And don’t forget the who has what doctors and dentist appointments when, and picture day is on the calendar, meanwhile you forgot to pick up something to cook for dinner. How are you staying sane? Let’s wine!!
