The musings of a former wine mom, diet culture survivor, recovering perfectionist, and sometime supermom maintaining my sobriety, sanity and self. I am a recovery coach-in-training and proudly alcohol-free since July 5, 2018.

Does this resonate with anyone else when pondering pre-pandemic life versus our ever-evolving new normal? Join me for my final episode of season one where I discuss how this idea applies to so many stages of life (hello, drinking days versus sobriety), yet is particularly relevant right now.

Contending with Our Inner Critic
Do you struggle with staying present in discomfort? How do you face your inner critic? In the past, I have tried drinking, eating, and scrolling her away... all to no avail. But today, on a rainy Monday while sitting at the car dealership enduring the world's longest oil change, I invited her to ride in the backseat.
Join me as I discuss contending with our inner critic. It can be icky work, but it's worth it.

Isolation Island
In this episode, I share a homework assignment for my Neuroscience of Joyful Recovery course: "Isolation Island," a story that explains the brain, joy, and addiction in a way that is easy for others to understand. I would love to hear what you think of this story, which I plan to use in my coaching, and how it impacts you. Please drop me a line and let me know your thoughts!
Also, I have a new microphone. Also, much to the chagrin of my inner perfectionist, the mic cuts out right at the start of the story so here is how it starts:
This probably started out as a vacation. A trip you were looking forward to, once upon a time. Honestly, it's been so long since you've seen family or friends you can't remember exactly how or when you got here. This is Isolation Island.
The full story is also available on the blog: https://maintaining-mama.com/2021/06/07/isolation-island/ (https://maintaining-mama.com/2021/06/07/isolation-island/)
