Join us for a deeply moving episode as we welcome our dear friend Rina Bowring to the podcast. As a fellow alcohol-freedom coach, Rina brings a wealth of wisdom and vulnerability to our conversation, sharing her unique journey of overcoming alcohol addiction and postpartum rage.

Rina recounts her early struggles with alcohol, using it to feel liberated and accepted. However, as she transitioned into motherhood, her relationship with alcohol spiraled into a destructive cycle, prompting her to confront the harsh reality of her addiction. With unwavering determination, Rina embarked on a journey of self-discovery, navigating the turbulent waters of postpartum rage and finding peace and hope with Jesus in sobriety.

Rina underscores the transformative power of self-reflection and the importance of embracing vulnerability in the journey towards healing. She shares invaluable insights on the role of faith in finding solace and strength amidst trials and emphasizes the profound impact of choosing authenticity and connection in motherhood.

From the pitfalls of societal expectations to the liberating power of self-care, Rina's journey is a testament to the resilience we can access when we bring God along on this freedom journey.

Meet Your Host
We’re Christy Osborne and Meade Holland Shirley—co-hosts of the But Jesus Drank Wine podcast and co-founders of a faith-based ministry helping women break free from alcohol and walk boldly into the freedom Jesus offers. Our paths to freedom looked different, but led to the same truth: Jesus offers more than sobriety—He offers deep, lasting transformation.

Join our BJDW Community!

Christy, a former lawyer with a background in law, business, and politics, experienced radical renewal after choosing sobriety. Now a senior sobriety coach and author of Love Life Sober (Penguin Random House), she helps women renew their minds and rediscover joy through a powerful blend of faith, neuroscience, and practical tools.

Meade, a former pharmaceutical rep and stay-at-home mom, looked like she had it all together—but felt stuck in a nightly-ish wine habit. Once she realized the issue was less about drinking and more about thinking, everything changed. Now a senior certified coach and creator of the Change-Your-Thinking-to-Change-Your-Drinking method and The Missing P.E.A.C.E. framework, Meade helps women ditch shame, reclaim purpose, and live with peace and joy.

Together, we create loving, Spirit-led spaces where women can explore their relationship with alcohol, renew their minds, and pursue the freedom they were made for.

Christy lives in Surrey, England; Meade outside Atlanta. We're just two women who surrendered our wine glasses, found something far better in Jesus, and now have the joy of helping others do the same.
