Summary
: From targeted social media marketing to the isolation of modern motherhood, Christian women are constantly told that a glass of wine is the ultimate reward for surviving the day. But what happens when a culturally normalized coping mechanism turns into a silent dependency? This week on Faith and Feminism , we sit down with journalist and author Ericka Andersen to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith . Together, we tear down the "Mommy Wine Culture" narrative and look at the structural pressures that cause so many women to over-function and self-medicate. Ericka shares her own journey into sobriety and invites us into a space free of legalism, labels, and shame. Whether you are entirely sober, completely "sober-curious," or simply trying to navigate gray-area drinking, this episode offers a refreshing, compassionate look at how true autonomy and spiritual renewal go hand in hand.
