Mommy Wine Culture Hid Her Addiction w/ Olivia Flynn | The Hopeaholics Podcast

Mommy Wine Culture Hid Her Addiction w/ Olivia Flynn | The Hopeaholics Podcast

In this raw and deeply moving episode of the Hopeholics Podcast, Olivia Flynn shares her journey through generational addiction, early exposure to alcohol, and the quiet ways substance use became normalized long before anyone called it a problem, opening up about growing up with an alcoholic father, getting drunk for the first time and feeling relief, how bartending culture fueled addiction, and the internal unraveling that led to pregnancy, custody battles, and a moment driving home when she no longer wanted to live, before describing the turning point of admitting she was an alcoholic, praying to a God she didn’t yet believe in, and experiencing a radical shift through faith that led not only to sobriety but to confronting hidden addictions like weed, dismantling “mommy wine” culture, releasing shame tied to motherhood, and ultimately breaking generational cycles for her daughters while redefining what real freedom, healing, and identity look like beyond abstinence alone.
