MOMMY NEEDS A DRINK! The Shame-The Secrets of Midlife Drinking
The Hart 2 Harts with Erika M Podcast
She’s not at the club. She’s not sloppy. She’s not posting about it.
She’s the mom( or Pops ). The caregiver. The over-functioner.
And she’s pouring “just one” every afternoon — sometimes by noon.
In this Episode 15, Erika M gets brutally honest about midlife drunks, and the women hiding booze in a boot in the closet, for the IG Moms, the Tik Tok Moms, the bored housewife in her early 30's married to Pro Golf hubby that's old enough to be her actual Father. For the Divorcee that just can't get over him leaving you for younger her. The hidden epidemic of daily drinking — the polished exterior, the wine-in-the-Stanley culture, and the emotional chaos many are trying to hide quietly., has gotten so loud with Jose, Rosé and Xani it's its own secret culture.
With truth, compassion, clarity, and zero judgment, Erika shares hard statistics, real stories, and her own journey through sobriety and the shame of relapse.
Whether you’re sober curious, in recovery, or silently wondering if your “normal” drinking isn’t so normal — this one’s for you. It's for anyone with a desire to stop drinking.
💔 Why are so many midlife women drinking more than ever before?
What are the lies we tell ourselves to keep going?
This isn’t about shame — it’s about waking up. It's about NOT being so "Anonymous" its about not feeling ashamed and reclaiming your place, maybe for the first time ever.
