info_outlineEpisode Summary
Welcome back to the show!
Today Erica interviews Annie Robert - viral mommy TikTocker.
Annie shares all about making people around the world laugh, as well as about her recent recovery from alcohol addiction during COVID.
Today we discuss the close and often dangerous relationship between women and alcohol.
What often starts as clear lines, can escalate quickly into very blurry. Our "Mommy juice," and "Mommy needs her wine" culture does not serve women.
In This Episode
Annie, firstly, tell us a little bit about your background, how you grew up, a little bit about what your childhood and teen years were like.
Can you take us back to the time where your drinking went from in check, to not in check? How did you know that line had eroded?
Were you hiding your drinking? I have heard from many women with addiction on my blog over the years, and most of them describe hiding it from their friends or family.
Can you describe the moment you made the decision to get sober? I imagine there were many moments, as alcoholism or any addiction is tricky.
For our listeners who may be teetering on that line, what are some signs your drinking isn’t in check? What advice would you have for women who may be on that slippery slope.
Okay let’s lighten things up. You make moms laugh. Hard! How did that start? Because I am a content creator, I am always curious with how talented people come up with content. Take us through that process.
Tell me about this competition. You are ripped, Annie! What made you decide to do it, and I see you enjoy mustard? Is it hard to be so disciplined?
You’re a married working mom of 4 daughters! How do you juggle it all? Any tips?
Annie, what would u tell your younger self
What’s still on your bucket list?
About Annie Robert
Sarcastic girl Mama, fitness enthusiast, sober but will still pour you a glass of wine.
