Parenting Winn Lisa Jacobus

During this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with mental health clinicians, Jessica Lyons and Ben Hillyard. During this show, you will hear how to support your children and yourself during this pandemic as well as how to create a "new normal" within your family. Ben and Jessica answer lots of great questions such as how to handle disappointment, create a schedule, and manage expectations.

During this episode, I chat with Celeste Yvonne. Celeste is a wife, mom, and popular writer who writes about all things parenting.  While many listeners may not recognize her name, her writing has been read by almost every struggling mom out there. Her “Dear Husband” post went viral to tens of millions of readers around the world. Her writing is honest and real, giving voice to the pressures of motherhood and the unrealistic expectations to do it all. In 2018, she began speaking openly about her struggles with alcohol and her commitment to becoming a sober mom.  In this episode, Celeste tells her journey to becoming sober and we discuss the problems with the "mommy wine culture." To read more of Celeste's work, visit her website at: www.andwhatamom.com or find her on IG @theultimatemomchallenge. She also has a private Facebook group called, "The Ultimate Mom Challenge - Alcohol Free Living with Celeste Yvonne" for those mom's interested in learning how to become and stay sober from alcohol. 
During this show, Celeste's provides us with recommendations for several books, which are listed below:
