Katherine Rhadans was a mom of three young children when drinking slowly became part of how she coped with motherhood. What started as wine at the end of a long day, a way to unwind, take the edge off, or reward herself for making it through another day, eventually became alcohol dependence.

Together, we unpack Mommy Wine Culture and the messages that can make drinking feel like self-care, connection, empowerment, or even part of being a good mom. When alcohol becomes the way you cope with exhaustion, stress, or difficult emotions, how do you know when you’ve crossed a line?

Katherine shares how she got sober, what helped her quit drinking, and how God helped her find a way forward.
