The Sunday Sweet Edit | No. 64

Happy Sunday, sweet friends! This Sunday Sweet Edit we’re up north in the middle of nowhere visiting family for the weekend and…man. It feels good to get away from the chaos of the end of the school year (that whole “Maycember” thing is real).

Heading home today and I have a lot of fun posts planned for the blog this week. Stay tuned!

on The Sober Mom Life podcast…

Laura Cathcart Robbins, the author of the excellent new quit lit memoir ‘Stash: My Life in Hiding’ joins me on the podcast. Laura’s story of recovery from a very secret and dangerous addiction is beautiful, heartbreaking, and brave. Her story is at the intersection of race, privilege and addiction. Laura is a trailblazer in the Quit Lit space, as she is the first black author to release a high profile book on this topic. Let’s show the publishing world that we need more recovery stories from people of color by supporting this book – More stories like Laura’s need to be told!

The Weekend Reset: Surviving ‘Maycember’ – The Sober Mom Life

We are smack dab in the middle of what I call ‘Maycember’, and the tidal wave of end of school year events feels unrelenting. Are you feeling the pre-summer pressure, too? You’re not alone!  I really lean on my parenting motto throughout May: Half Ass, Whole Heart. By choosing sobriety, you’ve gone a long way to showing up with your whole heart for your kids. The other stuff? ‘Half ass’ it wherever you need to (store bought cookies are great!). Check in with yourself: What can you say no to this week? How can you take care of yourself when you’re just trying to survive the month? What thing that doesn’t really matter can you gently set aside so that a glass of wine doesn’t sound like the solution at the end of the day? It might feel like you’re treading water this month – but trust me – you’ve got this. My 12- week Sober Summer Series is starting next Friday right here on The Weekend Reset! I’ll be going into more depth each week on my Substack, Sober for Good. Subscribe here! Community makes all the difference. Join The Sober Mom Life Cafe for 6+ Peer Support meetings each week and a private Facebook group to connect with sober and sober-curious women. Sign up for our next ‘Fresh 30’ and ‘Beyond 30’ cohorts.
