Talking Sober Parenting with Kiola Raines, MS, Pn1
Description
Mommy wine culture is one of the more common representations of parenting we see in modern media and society. Stressed after a long day of arguing with a toddler? Have a glass of wine (and believe me I do). But what happens when it goes too far? Kiola Raines, wellness, nutrition and lifestyle coach is flipping the script on how we cope with the stresses of modern day parenting. She shares her story of alcoholism and realizing she was in over her head, and how easily that can manifest in the lives of parents in a culture where we are taught to reward a hard day's work with alcohol. Kiola uses her background in Kinesiology and Exercise Psychology to facilitate a well rounded, science-backed approach to educate and empower parents everywhere on the effects of alcohol on an emotional as well as cellular level. While she acknowledges that many people can drink responsibly, we also must have clearer and smarter conversations around what "drinking responsibly" means and how to spot the difference.
