14. Truth and Turning Points: A Raw Conversation on Motherhood, Sobriety & Starting Over

New episodes every TUESDAY sharing real stories, expert insights and honest conversations. Come and say hi at ⁠Mama's Flightpath⁠⁠⁠.

This episode of Mama’s Flightpath is something special. My friend Jazz popped round for a cuppa — and kindly let me record our raw, powerful conversation as she marked one year of sobriety. What unfolded was an honest and emotional chat about motherhood, identity, addiction, and starting over with her career.

Jazz opens up about what led her to question her relationship with alcohol, how sobriety has transformed her life, and the deep shifts that come with being a mum trying to find her place in the world of work.

If you’re a mum feeling lost, stuck, or like you’re running on autopilot, this is the story of what it looks like to choose alignment over expectation.

Key Takeaways:
🦩 One year sober — and why it feels like a phoenix moment
🦩 The invisible pressures working mums face returning to work
🦩 Alcohol as a coping tool — and how Jazz reclaimed her power
🦩 The reality of identity loss and career shifts after having kids
🦩 Why support, gratitude, and curiosity can change everything
