Inclusive Merchandise Launch: Celebrating non-drinkers, G-Rex introduces an innovative adult sippy cup designed to foster inclusion in social settings, challenging the stigma of not drinking.

The Personal Impact of PTSD: The traumatic birth of her first child left the KK with PTSD, underscoring the conversation about the critical need for self-care and the value of seeking professional guidance.
Self-Value and Second Chances: The experience with KK’s second child becomes a point of contrast, illuminating the journey towards self-acknowledgement and the importance of recognizing one’s worth.
Alcohol and Regret: Reflections on past alcohol use bring to light the KK regret about its impact on her life. A call to action is made for more research on women and alcohol, especially post-childbirth.
The Importance of Support Systems: The KK discusses the difficulty in moderating drinking habits and the resulting shame cycles. Emphasizing the need for support during emotional hardships, the conversation turns towards the value of community and understanding.
