Intoxicating Lies (with Meg Geisewite)
Manage episode 359161042 series 2907674
As a best-selling author and speaker, Meg Geisewite is changing the narrative on the mommy wine culture, hustle culture, and our pro-drinking culture. In Meg’s debut book, Intoxicating Lies: One Woman's Journey to Freedom from Gray Area Drinking, Meg flips the script on the five most intoxicating lies we tell ourselves about alcohol.
In this episode, Meg shares her story of being an ordinary, working mom who found herself trapped in the mommy wine culture, and how her love of science led her to discover the real truth about alcohol and its seductive lies as she embarked on a journey to becoming alcohol-free. Wendy and Meg discuss the common lies women tell themselves including that “we deserve a drink” and that we “don’t have a problem” as gray-area drinkers. They review the common signs of gray-area drinking and Meg shares her “just one sip” story. They also discuss the shame cycle, the detox to retox myth, the critical role of community for women in sobriety, the importance of self-compassion, and the non-linear path to becoming free from alcohol that is normal for most people.
