Sobriety isn’t just about quitting—it’s about what comes next. In this episode, Amanda and Melissa, dive into the difference between stark, raving abstinence (just quitting the substance) and actually doing the deeper work of recovery.

Amanda shares a five-question daily journaling practice that’s helping her build self-respect, break free from external validation-seeking, and recover from burnout. Melissa opens up about her own struggles with self-doubt and the ongoing nature of inner work, even after years of sobriety.

If you’ve ever felt like sobriety should feel better or wondered why old patterns keep showing up, this conversation will help you shift your focus from just abstinence to true healing.

Tune in for honest insights, real talk about self-worth, and practical tools to support your sober journey.
