Mommy Wine Culture: Why It’s Not About the Wine with Coach Celeste Yvonne
Manage episode 376705408 series 2907674
There’s a very pervasive social narrative that moms need alcohol in order to survive motherhood. This is what is known as “mommy wine culture” and chances are, you’re all too familiar with this messaging because the marketing behind it is really unavoidable.
On this episode, I’m joined by life coach and author of It’s Not About the Wine, Celeste Yvonne to help us uncover the real reasons moms want to escape and why alcohol as a coping mechanism is just adding to the mayhem. We will talk about the challenges for mothers returning to the workforce, the insane lack of postpartum support, and the pressure to regularly achieve impossible parenting standards. But we’re not just exposing the problem. Celeste gives us some practical advice for how to start redistributing the mental load with your partner or support system and why being active in a sober community can transform your perspective on motherhood.
In this episode, you’ll learn
- Why it’s important to get curious about your defensiveness about drinking
- The moment that Celeste learned she didn’t have to gaslight herself any longer
- Why the pressure to enjoy every moment of motherhood is unsustainable
- The first step to take towards redistributing the division of labor in your home
- Why you don’t have to identify as an “alcoholic” (or hit rock bottom) before you get curious about your relationship with alcohol
