What if that nightly glass of Chardonnay wasn’t really relaxing you—it was slowly unraveling you? In this powerful episode of the Feel Lit Alcohol Free Podcast, Ruby and Susan sit down with guest Allison Barber: former Division I gymnast, mom of three, Christian woman, and one-time Chardonnay queen who looked like she had it all together—until the cracks started showing.

Allison shares her raw, unfiltered story of using alcohol to cope with parenting, perfectionism, and pain she didn’t even know she was suppressing. From hiding her drinking to navigating a failing marriage, her journey is a masterclass in emotional courage, self-responsibility, and faith-led freedom. How do you reclaim yourself when wine feels like your only escape? Tune in to find out—and prepare to laugh, cry, and feel deeply inspired.

Allison shares powerful insights about becoming a role model for her daughters, the importance of emotional honesty, and why choosing yourself is the first step toward helping everyone around you.
