**Trigger Warning: PPD, PPA, and suicidal thoughts mentioned**

In this raw and real episode, Anne opens up about her postpartum journey—the expectations she had going in, the tough realities that followed, and the emotional toll of navigating postpartum depression (PPD) and anxiety (PPA). She shares what it looked like to hit low points, lean into her support system, and slowly find her strength again.

Addi and Anne talk openly about the pressures new moms face, the importance of honest conversations, and the power of giving yourself grace in the chaos. Anne offers heartfelt advice to moms in their postpartum era, plus some of the tools and shifts that have helped her through the fog.

Stay tuned for this week’s Swig Grief and a Sweet Wine to wrap things up with a little sugar.

In this empowering episode, your favorite hosts uncork a much-needed conversation about reinvention—what it means to take back control of your life when everything feels off course. From personal stories of major pivots to painfully relatable rants about the guilt, shame, and social pressures that come with choosing yourself, this episode is the equivalent of a glass of red after a long day—bold, healing, and a little tart. They pour out real advice on how to challenge the limiting beliefs and cultural narratives that keep so many people stuck.

In this episode, they uncork:

• The messy, liberating moments they took control and started building something better

• How insecurities and shame try to sabotage personal growth—and how to shut them up

• Why saying “yes” to yourself often means saying “no” to everyone else’s expectations

• Building small, daily habits that align with who you want to be, not who you’ve been

• Rewriting the narrative: positive affirmations that actually stick

• Challenging cultural norms

• Book recommendations for shame resilience, personal growth, and radical self-love

• Building shame resilience

Book Pairings (because wine isn’t the only thing best enjoyed in a pairing):

• “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brené Brown

• “Atomic Habits” by James Clear

• “Think Like a Monk” by Jay Shetty

• “You Are a Badass” by Jen Sincero

Whether you’re mid-crisis, post-breakdown, or just tired of playing by someone else’s rules, this episode will leave you feeling like the main character—with a to-do list that includes more self-worth and less guilt.

With wine in hand, they whine (lightly) about baseball games that feel longer than most existential crises, the blue-collar husband dilemma, and the slow, soul-sucking chaos that is the modern Post Office.

Pour yourself something strong, hit play, and get ready to toast to the best version of you.

As always, thanks for wine-ing with us! 🍷
