Ella shares her unique insights on the controversial “mommy wine culture” and the ethical challenges of alcohol marketing in parenting. 

We also dive into the creative and challenging journey of writing and publishing her book, High Tolerance, and discuss how social media is reshaping the public image of alcohol.
