When Addiction Gets in the Way of Your Dreams

August 25, 2025

Meet Suzanne

Suzanne is the host of the popular sobriety podcast, The Sober Mom Life. Suzanne quit drinking more than 4 years ago and has found freedom from moderation, a message she proudly shares with the world. When she's not glamorizing sobriety, Suzanne enjoys spending her time with her 3 kids, her husband, and her dog, Georgia, all while reheating her coffee, until she eventually forgets it in the microwave.

with Author Jessica Guerrieri

Author Jessica Guerrieri joins me for a chat about her incredible novel, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. This book is a must read for any woman who has struggled with Mommy Wine culture. 

Jessica shares openly about her own 12 year sobriety journey from alcohol, which included a relapse into addictive behavior surrounding THC and pills. We’ll talk about the similarities between alcohol and THC and the troubling trend within the cannabis market to market to sober and sober curious women. 

We’ll also touch on the intersection between addiction and OCD – when addiction gets in the way of your dreams, the joys of sober motherhood, problematic representations of alcohol in media, and Jessica’s journey to publishing the book!
