Ep 322: A Glass Half Empty with Clare Pooley

By Badass Women’s Hour

An end of the day drink can be seen as “mummy’s little helper” on this extra spill the badass ladies are discussing the “Wine mum” culture of social media.


Author Clare Pooley aka the "Sober Mummy” tells Harriet, Natalie and Emma how two glasses of wine a night turned into ten bottles a week, and the moment she started to realise this wasn’t quite right!


She started a blog “Mummy was a secret drinker” to document everything she was feeling about her drink habits, Clare paired her blog writing with extensive research on the effects of drinking.  


Clare hasn’t drank for 5 years now, and although she says she doesn’t blame any mother for having a glass of wine of an evening Clare admits she saw positive impacts on her life since going sober, Clare also talks about the negative impacts that drinking had on her life and how things have changed for her, with her career and her role as a mother.
