The Sunday Sweet Edit | No. 38

Hi, sweet friends! This (and every) Sunday Sweet Edit I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. Our fall adventures continued yesterday with a trip to the pumpkin patch. It was the perfect day for it – sunny and 60’s. You know those days when you just know…this is it. These are the days I will miss one day? It was that.

on the pocasts…

If you love true crime, this episode is for you. First, Jay talks about what the ballot test results are telling us about the Dem’s midterm chances. (That’s not the true crime part. Ha.) And then… we talk about the Netflix’s new show Monster : The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and our childhood connection to a serial killer. Yeah. It’s creepy.

The One With #KateGate – Brand New Information

Where the Bleep is Kate Middleton? This burning question has brought Jay and Suzanne back to the mic for a special episode of Brand New Information! Suzanne catches Jay up to speed on the theories and developments surrounding the whereabouts of Kate Middleton, The Princess of Wales, while Jay shares his in depth knowledge of the royal family (exclusively gleaned from The Crown). If you want to dive deeper into #KateGate, Suzanne recommends listening to another sibling pop culture duo – Pop Apologists! Follow Jay on Instagram & Twitter, and Suzanne on Instagram!

My mom is on the podcast! She’s a (recently retired) therapist who specializes in substance abuse and addiction, so I thought she was the perfect person to come on The Sober Mom Life. We talk about how the conversation around alcohol has changed in the past 20 years, and she shares her personal sobriety story….

The Real Sober Moms with Ashlee – The Sober Mom Life

Today’s real sober mom, Ashlee, made a pledge to herself when she was young: she would never drink. Ashlee had experienced first hand the damage caused by a parent who drank, and she never wanted to be that mom. Yet, when she turned 21 and had her first drink, things got complicated. For her, it was ‘love at first sip’. Today, Ashlee tells the story of how the ‘attention seeking party girl lifestyle’ upended her life almost immediately. She details the intense drinking culture she experienced in the military, and shares how alcohol seeped into every corner of her life until it affected her ability to show up for her husband, her work, and her children. Ashlee experienced deep healing and recovery in AA, and she shares her opinions on the strengths and limitations of the program. Ashlee wants you to know: You can quit even when it feels like the world around you is centered around alcohol. Those who love you can adapt! Join us in the The Sober Mom Life Cafe!
