Ep. 188: How To Talk With Your Kids About Why You Quit Drinking (A Conversation With My Daughter Lila)

Today my 9 year old daughter, Lila, is joining me on the podcast to chat about how I talk to my kids about alcohol, why I quit drinking and what she thinks about her mom being a sober coach (and a podcaster!) 

A lot of women in early sobriety wonder how to discuss their drinking or not drinking with their kids, and of course every family is different.

But since I get asked this question a lot I decided to ask my daughter to chat with me about it.

​As we talk you’ll hear from Lila that she… ​

✅ Knows that mom used to drink a lot and stopped and that dad still drinks a bit and both are OK

✅ Is aware that when mom was drinking she woke up at 3am and was anxious and sometimes it made her throw up because alcohol is poison to your body

✅ Understands that alcohol is addictive and how that works (using a metaphor that makes sense to her)

✅ Knows that sober milestones are a big deal and a “Soberversary” is something to celebrate

✅ Thinks it’s cool that I help women stop drinking

​Lila also shares that she thinks I can seriously up my TikTok and YouTube game, her take on the patriarchy, women getting paid less than men, Taylor Swift, diet culture + a whole lot more. 😊

I hope you enjoy this one. It was pretty special to record with my girl!
