Alcohol isn't going to fix the systemic lack of support for mothers--and pretending it's the solution to surviving motherhood does more harm than good.
Jacqueline is joined by Celeste Yvonne, a sober mom advocate, writer, and certified recovery coach well-known across social media as @theultimatemomchallenge. She's an author of her new book It’s Not About the Wine: The Loaded Truth Behind Mommy Wine Culture and has been featured in The Washington Post, Good Morning America, and Refinery 29.
“I imagine a future where binge drinking isn’t an expected part of the college experience, where friends meeting up for drinks automatically includes both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options, and where a mother struggling elicits genuine concern and offers of support instead of jokes about wine being the solution to anything that ails her. What an inclusive, supportive, glorious world that would be.” -Celeste
