The Truth About “Mommy Wine Culture”

The Truth About “Mommy Wine Culture”

Author: Dear Media August 10, 2026 Duration: 1:09:21
In this episode, I'm joined by intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland for a conversation about the emotional reasons so many women turn to alcohol. We talk about why drinking has become so normalized, how wine can quietly become a coping mechanism, the connection between loneliness, stress, and overdrinking, and why true change isn't about willpower; it's about understanding what's really driving the habit. If you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol or felt stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, this conversation offers a different perspective.For more on Colleen, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehangoverwhisperer Website: https://emotionalsobrietycoaching.com/ Listen to her podcast, ‘It’s Not About The Alcohol’: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-not-about-the-alcohol/id1654335817   Thanks to my Sponsors:Honeylove: Save 20% off Honeylove by going to honeylove.com/OVER50 #honeylovepodLola Blankets: Get 40% off select Lola Blankets products at Lolablankets.com by using code FLOURISHING at checkout.
