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 The Matrix and Jock Jams – Brand New Information

Today, Jay and Suzanne revisit the deep messaging and allegory in 1990s media with The Matrix and… Jock Jams. Plus – It’s May Day! Jay reminisces about the adorable May Day Baskets of our youth and Suzanne marks the anniversary of when George Mallory’s body was found on Everest 75 years after his fateful climb. 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….

Make Sobriety Yours With Real Sober Mom Meagan – The Sober Mom Life

As the child of a parent in recovery, today’s Real Sober Mom Meagan was always aware of the dangers of alcohol. It served to keep Meagan away from drinking… until college, of course, when suddenly everyone was doing it. In college and grad school, Meagan kept drinking to a weekend activity. Slowly but surely, though, it found its way into the role of her daily ‘best friend’ during a heavy period of loneliness and heartbreak. After a difficult conversation with her current husband, and his recommendation of Quit Like a Woman, Meagan got sober for three years! Motherhood came rushing into Meagan’s life when, through foster and natural birth, she became a mom of three… all in one year. Challenges with one of her children wore her down, and she found herself reaching for that old ‘best friend’ alcohol to cope. After three years of sobriety, moderation felt possible. Yet, moderation showed itself to be a lie, and addiction took hold. After a terrible experience when she almost lost it all, Meagan knew: alcohol must leave for good. Meagan now attends AA and The Sober Mom Life Cafe! She’s crafted the sobriety support that she needs. She wants you to know – don’t ever be afraid of starting again… and again… and again. Sobriety will click, and each step you take on the journey is so worth it. Community makes all the difference.
