Ep 90 - Alcohol-Free in Motherhood: Vanessa's Story
<p>Mommy wine culture is pervasive and drinking while parenting has been normalized in recent years. For many people, having a drink at night can feel like a reward for a hard day of parenting. Some parents find their alcohol consumption actually increases after kids as a way to not only reward themselves, but to reconnect with their relaxed and carefree past. There is a debate about how mom wine culture could be a troubling trend and is proof that the pressures of modern parenting are simply too much.</p><p>On the podcast to share her story is Vanessa Garcia. Karen got to know Vanessa at The Family Room in Toluca Lake. She took Parent & Me with her daughter Scarlett, graduated and just recently aged-out of Toddler & Me. Vanessa has always been very open about her sobriety and shares her story and what being alcohol- free in motherhood looks like for her.<br/><br/>Vanessa specifically discusses: </p><p>· How long she has you been sober and what caused her to make a change.</p><p>· How she navigates social events centered around drinking. </p><p>· Advice she would you give someone who feels like their drinking may be problematic. </p><p>Love the show?
