Happy Sunday, sweet friends! This Sunday Sweet Edit we’re up north in the middle of nowhere visiting family for the weekend and…man. It feels good to get away from the chaos of the end of the school year (that whole “Maycember” thing is real).

Heading home today and I have a lot of fun posts planned for the blog this week. Stay tuned!

on The Sober Mom Life podcast…

Laura Cathcart Robbins, the author of the excellent new quit lit memoir ‘Stash: My Life in Hiding’ joins me on the podcast. Laura’s story of recovery from a very secret and dangerous addiction is beautiful, heartbreaking, and brave. Her story is at the intersection of race, privilege and addiction. Laura is a trailblazer in the Quit Lit space, as she is the first black author to release a high profile book on this topic. Let’s show the publishing world that we need more recovery stories from people of color by supporting this book – More stories like Laura’s need to be told!

Perimenopause 101 with Monica Leonard, LPN The Sober Mom Life

It feels like talk about perimenopause is everywhere these days, but I have so many questions. What is perimenopause, actually? How does it differ from menopause? Is hormone replacement therapy safe and effective? How do we find a doctor who will actually help us with our perimenopausal symptoms and not just tell us it’s ‘normal’ to feel this way? Is there any way for us to feel well in midlife?! See, it’s a lot of questions! Monica Leonard of This Is My Midlife is here to help us understand it all. She’ll talk us through the symptoms of perimenopause, the treatments available, how to advocate for yourself in the medical system, and how lifestyle elements like alcohol are making perimenopause even more complicated. Learn more about Monica’s coaching and retreats at www.thisismymidlife.com, or follow her on Instagram @thisismymidlifePre-order your copy of The Sober Shift in paperback!Community makes all the difference.
