Show Notes
Today, I’m sitting down with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, author of the book Drunk-ish and host of the Drunk-ish Podcast.
If you’ve ever tried to “moderate,” justified blackouts, or worried you wouldn’t be fun without alcohol, this conversation will hit home.
Stefanie shares how her drinking escalated after becoming a mom, the mental gymnastics of rule-making, and the moment she knew she couldn’t keep going. We talk openly about shame, driving drunk, mommy wine culture, and what it really looks like to quit with young kids.
In This Episode We Cover:- The classic “Are You an Alcoholic?” quiz and how easy it is to talk yourself out of the truth
- Why moderation became more exhausting than quitting
- The turning point that changed everything
- Parenting sober and talking honestly with your kids about alcohol
- Navigating sex, social life, and identity without drinking
- The fear of losing your personality and why it doesn’t happen
Stefanie proves what so many of us eventually discover: alcohol was never the source of the personality. It was just a crutch.
