Don't Wait For Rock Bottom - Find a Softer Place to Land (Featuring My Therapist Mom!)

My mom, Susan, is a therapist with a specialization in substance abuse, so I couldn't think of any better to join us on the pod this week! In this episode, she shares why it is so important to employ a non-judgemental approach to recovery. In her personal life she’s always been a casual moderate drinker, but recently that’s changed. After learning from me about the negative effects that alcohol (even in small doses!) has on our brains, she had second thoughts. So, she has recently stopped drinking and has joined the sober mom life community. My mom has always been a great role model. I’m glad I was able to return the favor...
