Pouring a glass of wine may seem like a reward after a tough day with the kids, but did you know alcohol is actually a depressant? And it could make your anxiety worse, not better. The normalization of alcohol consumption peaked during the pandemic, and with phrases like "mommy juice" and "wine mom" culture, the trend is clear among moms, too. In this episode of Being Different, host Liz Durham sits down with her friend Aubrey Arms to shed light on the pressure to indulge in alcohol as a means of coping with the challenges of motherhood. They discuss Aubrey's decision to quit drinking alcohol and the changes she has seen in her life since quitting, like increases in productivity and overall improvement of health. Liz shares her thoughts on the stigma surrounding not drinking and how to normalize sobriety for herself. Plus, Aubrey shares advice for how to move forward with your own decision.
