In this episode, I step away from my usual tips and advice to share my personal story with alcohol and sobriety. I open up about the life events that led me to my lowest point (Covid, a narcissistic relationship, and an injury), how I knew it was time for a change, and the very first steps I took after quitting drinking. If you’re sober-curious, in early recovery, or just looking for encouragement, I hope my story reminds you that you’re not alone and that change is possible. Join our online ...

In sobriety, some changes happen immediately, whereas some take time. In today's episode, we are discussing a few benefits that happen right away when you quit drinking.

In today’s episode, I’m going back to the very beginning of my sober journey and revisiting the ‘why’ I wrote down in my sobriety app on day one. Knowing our 'why' is such a powerful tool -it keeps us grounded, helps us stay focused when things get tough, and reminds us of the results and life we’re working toward.

I hate the feeling of being bored, and the old me would have just drank away that feeling. Now in sobriety, we have to face that feeling and sit with our thoughts. It's a tough adjustment, and I honestly don't have a ton of advice to offer. Today, I am venting... sharing something I still struggle with. Sobriety gets easier with time, but I'm still learning every day. Join our online support group for free: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1G4KhSoxBx/
Did you know that 43% of people with ADHD will develop a problem with alcohol? It is SO common for people to self-medicate with booze, and unfortunately... it works. That's why so many people fall down a bad path with alcohol -because it's an immediate band-aid fix, but it's not a long term solution. In today's episode, I provide some life hacks for living life with ADHD, and we discuss why it's so common for ADHD'ers to turn to the bottle. Join our online Support Group: https://www.facebook....
I'm not going to lie, dating feels so weird without my comfort blanket. I used to drink alcohol in order to feel comfortable flirting with guys, making the first move, or to get through the first date jitters... and now I don't have that. So dating and flirting feels weird. I've had a lot of "firsts" in sobriety, but dating is still not crossed off the list. I am loving life right now on my own, so it's tough to get in the mindset of bringing someone else into my little world. But I know it'l...
Alcohol used to be my number one interest. Everything I did revolved around booze, and I didn’t even know who I was without it. If you’re feeling that way too, today’s episode is for you. I want to show you that life in sobriety is not only possible, but so much better than it ever was when we were drinking. If you don’t know what to do with yourself as a newly sober person, sit back and listen — because I’ve got a whole list of fun, exciting things you can try that don’t involve alcohol. Sup...
TW: In today's episode we talk about body image and outward appearances, so if that is a sensitive topic for you, consider skipping this episode. If you're sticking around, today's episode is about getting MORE beautiful with age. The sober glow makes your eyes sparkle, your skin bouncy, and your smile brighter. Healing on the inside reflects on the outside, whether you notice it or not. You can make the next decade of life better than the prior -physically, mentally, financially, and beyond!...
Cravings and temptations are bound to happen in sobriety, so I want to provide you with some tools to get through those successfully.

I used to set the bar SO low -in relationships, jobs, and the way I let people treat me. I stayed stuck and drank to distract myself from the mundane life I was living. But sobriety changed that. I stopped settling and started choosing better. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve outgrown and what I simply won’t accept anymore. Drop a comment and tell me what you’re done putting up with as a sober person :) Online sobriety support group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1B1Ha4LWfX/?mibext...

It's never just one... Today we're going to talk about why the idea of having "just one drink" creeps into our heads in sobriety and why it's NEVER worth it.

Today we're talking about getting to the root issue of WHY we drank so heavily in the first place. If we heal and work on the root issues, we won't crave alcohol as much -making sobriety feel easier. Simply eliminating the substance will make sobriety feel HARD. Because you're eliminated your vice, but all the issues remain. In today's episode, we break down how to analyze your past and begin to heal. You got this!! Thank you for listening and for being a part of this community. Facebook supp...
If you find yourself drinking for life's most mundane situations like the grocery store or WORK or your morning walk... you're not alone. I used to love drinking in inappropriate situations, where you really should not be consuming alcohol. So today, we're diving into why I did that and how I manage those same situations as a sober person. Facebook Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/15Uz6zeKCd/?mibextid=wwXIfr
