SOBER & CONNECTED
FROM WINE O'CLOCK TO CONNECTION
Break the wine mom habit and become the present parent you want to be
The Two Cycles
The cycle you might recognize
Parenting is hard → Wine takes the edge off → But wine creates distance → Distance makes parenting harder → You need more wine to cope → (repeat)This is what "mommy needs wine" culture doesn't talk about. The wine isn't actually helping. It's quietly making the hard parts harder.
The shift we're here for
Ditch the drink → Put that energy into connection → Connection makes you teammates, not opponents → Parenting feels lighter → You don't need to escape it → (repeat)Sobriety serves connection. Connection serves sobriety. It doesn't feel like you're missing out — it feels like you finally showed up.
If you're sensing that something needs to change,
you're probably right.

THE 7-DAY PRESENT PARENT RESET
You don't need a rock bottom story. Maybe you're just noticing wine o'clock has become automatic, or you're curious what life feels like without it.Every day for a week, I'll send you one email. A reflection, a small action. You decide what resonates. After 7 days, you'll have clarity on whether this is your path. Either way, you'll have tools you can actually use.Day 1: Notice the pattern. When does the urge show up, and why?
Day 2: Count the real cost. Not just money, but time, energy, and the quiet cost too.
Day 3: Question the default. Why is drinking considered "normal" anyway?
Day 4: What connection actually means. Being there vs. being there.
Day 5: The trust your child deserves and what you're really building.
Day 6: Handle social pressure. Putting our focus on scripts that actually work.
Day 7: What's next? Let's figure out your path forward.

CONNECTING THE DOTS
Hey you! I'm Maria
My path to sobriety didn't start with parenting. It started over a decade ago when I realized drinking consumed the best of my energy, money, and time.But it wasn't until I had my own child, six years into being alcohol-free, that I connected the dots back to my own childhood. I remember those moments of disconnect around tipsy adults, and I knew I wanted something different for my own child. ❤️Sober & Connected was born from that promise. It's for the parent who feels that same quiet pull, not for a 'problem,' but for deeper connection.
