Michelle Smith, founder of Recovery Is the New Black, joins me for a unfiltered conversation about sobriety, shame, and breaking free from the grip of alcohol. We spill the tea about the truth behind mommy wine culture, the trap of moderation, and why drinking is so deeply ingrained in women’s lives.
Michelle shares her journey from working in corrections and addiction recovery to struggling with her alcohol use disorder, exposing the stigma that keeps so many stuck.
We talk about how to build real connections without alcohol, the hardest parts of getting sober, and why quitting drinking is the ultimate act of self-love.
If you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol or wondered, "Do I have a problem?", this conversation will bring you the answer you need. And can provide you with hope to end the guilt and shame cycle, once and for all!
