Description

Alcohol and motherhood is an interesting topic for one that's so in the forefront of our lives but the margins of our conversations. In this episode I speak with Meg and Bella, cohosts of the She's Sober Sydney podcast. Our chat covers:

• Meg and Bella's personal stories with alcohol as mothers
• The pressures on mothers and normalising of "mummy wine culture"
• The cycle of alcohol to mitigate (but then raise) anxiety
• How their relationship with their kids has changed since going alcohol free
• How to start talking with kids about alcohol
• Does alcohol really help you relax or get to sleep, or is it a placebo effect?
• The big fear - losing friends by being the "odd one out" non-drinker
• What is grey area drinking and where can you go if you're sober curious?
