This week on Sober as F*ck, we sit down with Alex Kern, and she does not hold back. From breaking free from toxic circles to calling out the insidious normalization of drinking as a coping mechanism for moms, Alex shares what it’s really like to parent sober in a world that tells you to pour another glass and keep quiet.We talk about what it feels like to be the only one saying no thanks in a world built around yes, please. Alex opens up about being married to someone who still drinks and how she’s navigated that dynamic with honesty, grace, and boundaries. Most importantly, she’s learning to figure out who the hell she really is underneath the trauma, expectations, and performative perfectionism.
This one hits hard and heals harder.
