MOTHERHOOD IS NOT EASY.
SOBRIETY MAKES IT BETTER.
CONNECTION MAKES IT POSSIBLE.​
The Sober Mom Squad is just as it sounds: a Squad of Moms who are already sober, those who are just dipping their toes in exploring an alcohol free lifestyle, and everything in between! We share. We connect. We talk about the hard shit. We create community in the lonely pockets of motherhood. We don’t shy away from the hard topics, and we nod our heads in solidarity.
Watch Emily’s TEDx talks: Why Sobriety is a Superpower for Women (TEDx Boston), and Second Hand Drinking (TEDx Bozeman).
