Is alcohol affecting your mental health, physical wellness goals and motherhood experience? Bestselling author Samantha Perkins shares her story and that you don’t have to “hit rock bottom” to recognize that alcohol is causing issues in your life.
Samantha considered herself a normal drinker until her anxiety spiraled after becoming a mom. She noticed that alcohol was contributing to unpleasant physical and mental health symptoms that diet, supplements and other wellness detoxes just couldn’t help her overcome. Without any support or knowing exactly how long it would last, she cut out alcohol and felt so good that she never looked back.
Samantha encourages us to get curious about the role alcohol plays in our lives and pay attention to how it makes us feel and why we may be grabbing our next drink. We discuss the Mommy wine social media culture and motherhood and alcohol knick knacks that are constantly marketed to us. Do we actually need that drink to get through the tough days?
