Author: Ellen Scanlon September 23, 2025 Duration: 30:13
More and more women are rethinking their relationship with drinking — not by going completely sober, but by finding their own middle ground. In this episode, host Ellen Scanlon talks with Katie Nessel, the woman behind Soberish Mom, the hugely popular blog and Instagram account that’s reshaping how women think about alcohol, motherhood, and everyday rituals. Katie shares how the nightly glass of wine became her “easy button,” why she started to question it, and the small shifts that helped her sleep better, feel calmer, and show up with more patience as a mom. If you’re looking for an alternative to alcohol, Cycling Frog is offering you a free THC seltzer — Ruby Grapefruit, Black Currant, or Wild Cherry. Here’s the link, and the flavors are all so tasty!

Ellen Scanlon’s How to Do the Pot is an award-winning conversation that demystifies cannabis with a focus on women’s experiences.

The podcast explores how cannabis can intersect with health, well-being, and daily life, tackling questions that often go unasked. You’ll hear specific discussions about finding the right strain for relaxation or intimacy, using CBD for menstrual discomfort, and the nuanced differences between varieties like Harlequin and Gelato. There’s a deliberate and thoughtful choice in language here, too, favoring the term “cannabis” over other outdated labels. At its heart, the series amplifies personal stories and expert insights, creating a resource that feels both informative and deeply relatable. Whether you’re seeking relief, exploring for fun, or just want to understand the landscape better, this podcast provides a welcoming and smart guide through the often overwhelming world of cannabis, all from a perspective that is genuinely for women and by women.
