11. Mommy Juice: Are They Trying to Turn Us Into Alcoholics?

Are we being taught that we need to drink in order to cope with motherhood? 

Today, Nikki talks with Emily Paulson, a mother of 5, author, entrepreneur, and certified recovery coach. They discuss this culture of "mommy should get drunk" that we are in the midst of and how it could be impacting us and our children. 

In this episode, we cover:

* Emily's experience with hitting rock bottom and becoming sober

* Whether or not Nikki drinks and what she has observed about messages we are given about alcohol

* How alcohol companies target moms

* What our kids could be learning from our drinking habits

* What alcohol memes are doing to our motherhood culture

* One small thing that can make a big impact in supporting our sober friends and family (or those who are trying to get sober)

* This is not about shaming and prohibition, but about awareness
