The Sober Mom Life

Growing up in Ireland, Aisling came to understand that having an ‘alcohol problem’ required a really high bar. Either you were a raging alcoholic, or your relationship with alcohol was fine and not worth examining. As a child, though, Aisling disagreed. She found drunk people terrifying. Looking back? She thinks that young Aisling had it right. Today Aisling shares her sobriety story, starting as a college student who didn’t make it through school due to her habit, and culminating as a new mom who felt buried with shame each time that alcohol threw her off track. Aisling believes that sobriety is her superpower. It allows her to show up as her best self in every corner of her life and brings so much joy to her days. She wants you to know that this reality is available for you, too! Follow Aisling on Instagram!You can read Aisling’s story in my upcoming book!

So many women have told me that they wished a male version of this community existed for their husbands - and today I am so excited to tell you that I found one! Luc Zoratto is the creator of @marathon2sobriety. He is nine years sober, a marathon runner, and a 1-on-1 and group sober coach. Luc tells the story of how his ‘work hard, play hard’ mindset led him to a life that was ruled by alcohol and cocaine. He’ll detail the intense shame he felt in becoming sober, and how he eventually overcame it to be a proud public voice in the community! Then, we’ll talk about how important it is for him to be a sober dad for his daughter after growing up in a home negatively affected by alcohol, and his viewpoint on the fact that his wife still drinks. If your husband is sober curious or looking for sober support, check out Luc! IG: @marathon2sobrietyLuc’s coaching: https://www.marathon2sobriety.ca/Luc’s sober running club in Toronto: @soberstriderunclubI started The Sober Mom Life Cafe so women just like you can find connection in sobriety.

Katie’s back with a fresh steaming cup of SobrieTEA! Today we’ll dive into Summer House and share our thoughts about where we think the franchise and the cast should go from here. Then, we’ll explore the messy world of The Valley, especially the habit of hypocritical finger pointing about alcohol that is so prevalent on the show. Why is this habit so common in friend groups? And what does it say about our society’s relationship with alcohol as a whole? Plus - Trump pardons the Chrisleys, and the awesome summer reality show lineup. I started The Sober Mom Life Cafe so women just like you can find connection in sobriety.
