Self-Healing and Conscious Motherhood with Jennifer Gardner

There are tons of ways to cope with the inevitable challenges brought about by motherhood, and it doesn't always have to be something that involves alcohol. When you have a very demanding job and very demanding kids plus a husband you need to take care of, it can get very overwhelming. You're tired and sometimes, you just turn to drink alcohol to help ease your burden a little bit. Wine is a good way to treat yourself for a job well done but turning to alcohol to deal with your kids and responsibilities at home ain't funny. You want to raise your kids the best way possible but you're unsure of how to do it with everything that you got on your plate. What should you do?  In this episode, I'm joined by Jennifer Gardner, a lovely member of our community and a mother of two.
