The Sober Mom Life

I recently returned from a trip to New Orleans for a friend’s wedding anniversary and while I was there, something happened. Today I’ll share about my experience and untangle my emotions around the fact that I’ve ‘outgrown’ so much of the drinking culture and habits that exist in cities like New Orleans and Vegas.  I am so grateful to The Sober Mom Life Cafe [https://the-sober-mom-life.mn.co/] for giving me (and so many other amazing women!) a community I can lean on.

Therapist, author of Not Drinking Tonight [https://amandaewhite.com/book], and ‘reformed people pleaser’ Amanda E. White joins me back on the show to give her nuanced insights into the wide range of reasons why people might people please.  She’ll help us understand what people pleasing is, when it can become manipulative, and how alcohol can play a role in people pleasing. Plus, she shares how relationships can actually become stronger through conflict, and how you can begin to cultivate a more nuanced view of people and situations.  Check out Amanda’s new podcast - Nuance Needed!  [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nuance-needed/id1769274006] Learn more about Amanda at www.amandaewhite.com [http://www.amandaewhite.com] Amanda’s first episode on Sober Mom Life: Creating a Sober Life You Love [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/creating-a-sober-life-you-love-with-amanda-e-white/id1631208632?i=1000593139617] Are you looking for community in sobriety?

Katie’s back with a fresh steaming cup of SobrieTEA!  Today we’ll dive into Summer House and share our thoughts about where we think the franchise and the cast should go from here.  Then, we’ll explore the messy world of The Valley, especially the habit of hypocritical finger pointing about alcohol that is so prevalent on the show. Why is this habit so common in friend groups? And what does it say about our society’s relationship with alcohol as a whole?  Plus - Trump pardons the Chrisleys, and the awesome summer reality show lineup.  Are you looking for community in sobriety?
