Alcohol is everywhere - social events, mommy wine culture, a drink with dinner. So how many drinks is too many? Do I have a problem?  Gillian Tietz is the host of the Sober Powered podcast and recently left her career as a biochemist to become a full time podcaster. When she quit drinking in 2019, she dedicated herself to learning about alcohol's influence on the brain and how it can cause addiction. She used that knowledge to free herself from the shame she had about being unable to control her drinking. Today, she educates and empowers others to assess their relationship with alcohol, and provides coaching and support to podcasters looking to grow their show.Follow Gill HERE (@sober.powered)Website HEREPodcast HERE________________________________________________________________Did you love this episode?

Putting your marriage over your kids seems wrong, but keeping your marriage a priority is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your partner, and your kids. A strong marriage gives your kids stability and a foundation to model healthy relationships after. It is okay to schedule a little less kid time and a little more date time! Amy Kiefer and I talk about how we can have a better connection with our partners after kids through open and intentional communication. Amy Kiefer is the owner of 3 online businesses: Expecting and Empowered, HERself Podcast, and Pursuing HER Purpose. She built her 3 businesses while also having 3 little boys with her husband Drew. After figuring out how to tame her own mom guilt and live her life on purpose, she felt called to help other women do the same. Instagram: @ameskiefer@herselfpodcast@pursuingherpurpose@expectingandempoweredWebsite: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/, https://www.herselfpodcast.com/, https://www.expectingandempowered.com/e-e-appPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/herself/id1489878793________________________________________________________________Did you love this episode?
