Episode 67: Recovering From Mommy Wine Culture with Jen Butler

Jen Butler, MBA, CPC, CPRC, SRCD, spent a decade as a stay-at-home mom before becoming a Certified Professional Life and Recovery Coach and SHE RECOVERS® Coach. To cope with the rollercoaster of motherhood and enabled by wine mom culture, Jen was stuck in the fog of gray area drinking until 2018.

As a coach, she provides connection and accountability – the very keys that helped her start her own journey to alcohol freedom – to gray area and heavy drinkers who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, and overwhelm. Jen empowers her clients to create change, nix negative self-talk, rediscover self-trust, and live with authentic purpose. A graduate of Brown University and the University of Cambridge (UK), Jen lives in Chappaqua, NY with her husband, two children, and three dogs.

In this episode, our team member Kelly Fitzgerald Junco has a lively conversation with Jen all about the perils of mommy wine culture, Jen's definition of gray area drinking, and how we can reach more people in these populations who may need help. Jen speaks about recovering from perfectionism and the benefits of helping women as a Coach.
