Description

What if alcohol isn’t actually the issue—but a symptom of something deeper?

In this episode, we dive into the spiritual and emotional roots behind drinking through the powerful lens of inner healing, identity restoration, and freedom ministry. Drawing from Encounter School of Ministry, Be Healed (Dr. Bob Schuchts), and Unbound (Neal Lozano), we walk through a transformative healing arc:

Identity → Wounds → Lies → Renunciation → Forgiveness → Authority → Blessing → Lasting Freedom

This episode is for the woman who is tired of just trying to stop drinking and is ready to understand why she reached for it in the first place—and how to finally walk in freedom that lasts.

💛 Want to heal, not just cope?

Inside The Sacred Sobriety Lab, we unpack these healing frameworks through a faith-and-neuroscience approach, helping Catholic women reduce or eliminate alcohol from a place of peace, not pressure.

If you’re ready for deeper, personalized healing support, explore my 1:1 Catholic sobriety coaching, where we walk through identity healing, emotional regulation, and spiritual freedom step-by-step.
