In this episode of Till the Wheels Fall Off, we sit down with the brilliant Celeste Yvonne, celebrated author of It’s Not About the Wine and a powerful voice in the conversation on sobriety, motherhood, and societal expectations. Celeste shares her deeply personal journey of quitting alcohol, navigating the mental load of motherhood, and confronting the harmful messaging of “mommy wine culture.”

We explore how women often turn to alcohol to cope with the crushing responsibilities of parenting, the role of societal conditioning, and the deeper truths about emotional labor in traditional partnerships. Celeste candidly discusses her unconventional path to sobriety, the challenges of rediscovering herself without alcohol, and the importance of building supportive communities like the Sober Mom Squad.

This episode is both validating and thought-provoking as we challenge gender norms, discuss the necessity for systemic change, and explore actionable ways partners can better support one another. Whether you’re a parent, in recovery, or simply someone seeking more balance and authenticity in life, this conversation is a must-listen.
