The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast

There has been a lot of talk about "Mommy Wine Culture" in recent years. Specifically about how women are being sold a lie. A lie that says we should be able to do everything and if we don't we're failing, and that a glass of wine will smooth out the rough spots.    Today I'm speaking with Celeste Yvonne, author of "It's not about the wine: The loaded truth behind Mommy Wine Culture". She has real...

Today I'll be speaking with Kohn Glay, a gifted shadow work coach. I found Kohn on TicTok after his video on shadow work went viral…like 42M + viral.

Kohn started doing this work after the tragic loss of his son who was just 16 years old. He used his platform to pour love and bles...

If you're listening to this podcast, I'm going to assume that you either want to quit drinking or you already have. For those who want to quit drinking there are typically two camps. Those who think of themselves as alcoholics and everyone else.
