Find Your ROAR on today’s episode.  Sobriety is a journey that’s different for everyone, and for today’s guest, it prepared her for one of the hardest things a parent can face. On this episode of Gin and Juiced, Judi and Amanda are joined by Melissa Wiggins (AKA Mumma Bear), a lawyer turned life coach! Melissa shares her story, from getting sober in her 20s, to receiving the news that her son had been diagnosed with cancer. But despite all this, she took on the challenge, and her courage and vibrancy is evident. Listen to hear  the ladies discuss sobriety, how this life-changing news helped her rid herself of people pleasing tendencies, and why having community as women is vital to our health. 

Today on Yes, And:

  • How getting sober unknowingly prepared Melissa for a family tragedy 
  • Why women struggle with asking for help
  • How a child’s cancer diagnosis forced Melissa to stop people-pleasing
  • How the name MummaBear came to be
  • How Melissa now works to empower women to figure out what they want

Top 3 Quotes:

  1. I just saw that everybody drank. And growing up with that, I had this belief in my mind that it was the way everybody drank. 
  2. I’m such a believer that when you go through hard things, it prepares you for the next hard thing. If I hadn’t gotten sober, I don’t think my son would be alive. 
  3. What does an empowered week look like for you? Don’t tell me what you do, tell me what time you’d like to stop answering emails. Tell me what time you’d like to get up in the morning. Because when’s the last time someone simply asked you, “What do you want?”
