Mommy wine culture is booming. You don’t have to go far to find memes about the “quarantini” and “mommy’s juice box” being a box of Rosé. Today we are asking the question why? Drinking can be a coping mechanism for stressed out moms - but what moms really need isn’t wine. What we need is support. And that is unfortunately difficult to ask for. 
 
We are interviewing Michelle Kapler. She is  a Certified Life Coach, specializing in overdrinking and alcohol freedom. She works with high achieving women, who want to explore their relationship with alcohol, without judgement and without labels. As a highly successful entrepreneur, multiple times over and a mother, Michelle understands what it's like to have a big, full, wonderful life on the outside… but to truly feel like you need that nightly glass (or bottle) of wine to make it through life. To feel like sometimes you are drinking against your own will. To feel like you have lost control. Michelle has now been living an alcohol free life for over two years. To achieve this, she used tools based in cognitive psychology, thought work and coaching, to completely lose her desire for alcohol and create a beautiful amazing life, without identifying as an alcoholic or using a 12 step program. She now helps her clients do the same.
 
Nikki, Lexi, and Michelle talk about how much is “too much,” alternative coping mechanisms, and how to overcome many addictions in your life.
