Wine mommy culture seems pretty normal, or even encouraged in our society—actually, alcohol is a central part of most every social event we attend as adults.
So many of us have used alcohol as a crutch to cope, as a reason to get together with friends, to celebrate, to commiserate… today we are opening up the conversation around casual alcohol use through our guest’s story. Full transparency—this may be an activating episode. It definitely was for us.
Meet Drew Davis, wife, mama, entrepreneur, and front runner of the sober curious movement. She’s the owner of Gemlife & Bar, NJ’s first booze-free bottle shop and bar and second nationwide. The sober curious movement has really picked up speed over the last few years, and so too has the need for alternatives for those choosing to be alcohol free or more intentional about alcohol use.
During this episode, we chat about what led Drew to an alcohol free life and how she navigated through the new territory that came with it, like shadow work, hard conversations, and even leaving her corporate career. You will Hear about the birth of her new baby, Gemlife & Bar, and how it creates space for people to come as they are, wherever they are in their journey.
As always, we invite you to reflect on the topics talked about today without judgement. Check in with yourself, and if you’re feeling up to it, reach out to us with your thoughts!
