The Sunday Series | No. 06
Permission if you need it, fun and a new series on IG
Happy (Super Bowl) Sunday!
I hope that no matter what your plans are today, you know that alcohol is NOT required. (More on that in this post 😉)
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
Just a reminder: You don’t have to drink today. Even if everyone around you is drinking. Even if alcohol has always been a part of your Super Bowl Sunday. Even if you have a special tradition with your friends and you all drink.
You don’t have to drink today.
What if this is the year you decide to give yourself a chance to see that alcohol was never the magic of a situation?
My princess-loving girl turned 8 last week. EIGHT! I remember hearing that it goes by in a blink, and as a new mom of two I didn’t believe it. But, man. It goes by in a blink.
If there’s one thing that keeps me up at night, it’s this. I’m trying to hold onto every single precious moment, and I know I can’t. I’ll always look back and think I should have done more. Should’ve taken it in more. Should’ve held on tighter.
So, I’m trying. And meanwhile, I’m resting a bit easier knowing I’m not losing any of this to alcohol. I’m not inviting it in to steal my memories, cause chaos and replace my mundane mom guilt with searing hot mom shame.
Because alcohol makes motherhood so much fucking harder.
Speaking of my girl’s birthday, we had her party at a rock-climbing, jungle gym activity place and WHOA it was so fun.
Mom and I got in on the action - we went down the giant slide ride and felt like kids. If you’ve been one to sit on the sidelines while the kids play, what if you joined in next time? I’m never going to encourage you to play Barbies or make believe (ugh), but having true, childlike fun is…FUN.
I’m pretty sure the kids had fun, too. 🙃
I started something exciting last week!
I’ve had a few people reach out to me wanting a small sobriety tip each day, and I’ve been trying to figure out for awhile how I can make that work. I love the idea of it, but it has to make sense for my workload. Also, I wanted to make sure the tips are easily accessed for those who want them.
And so…
I’ve started a subscription on my Instagram!
I’ve seen other creators offer a subscription, and I was never interested. I didn’t know what I would offer that would make it valuable for my followers. Until now.
I’m sharing a Daily Sobriety Tip for anyone who joins (it’s only $2.99/month and you can cancel anytime). You’ll get access to all of the reels I’ve made so far, and then get a fancy little purple crown by your name, so I’ll see you when you comment on any of my posts or send me DMs.
Some of the tips are general, and some are specific. Some are serious, some are silly. But they all add up to helping you build a life too full for alcohol and find freedom in sobriety.
Just head to my profile and click the 👑 to join.
And thank you, as always, for supporting me!
