Grey Area Drinking for Women and the Sober Community

A Conversation with Jenn Kautsch

What if that nightly glass of wine you feel you’ve “earned” has never really been about the wine at all, but about exhaustion, overwhelm, and the quiet autopilot patterns that build themselves into your life without your consent?

Jenn Kautsch, founder of Sober Sis—a global community of more than 40,000 women reframing their relationship with alcohol without shame or labels—shares her deeply personal shift from disciplined, wellness-minded mother by day to habitual “wine o’clock” drinker by night. She reveals how an innocent moment of relaxation can slowly transform into a routine that’s hard to undo, and how she found herself caught in the “detox to retox” cycle long before she realized it was happening.

In this episode of Inside the Wellspace with Cathy O’Brien, Jenn brings clarity to the often misunderstood world of gray area drinking and the subtle ways it weaves itself into everyday life. She unpacks the cultural pressures that glorify “mommy wine time,” the early signs that alcohol may be taking more than it’s giving, and why true change begins with awareness rather than willpower. Jenn also shares the origins of Sober Sis and the 21-day reset that has helped thousands of women break free from patterns that no longer serve them.
