Description

If you’re waiting for sobriety to be easy, you’ll be waiting forever.

I say that not to discourage you — but because the moment you stop chasing the quick fix is the moment real freedom begins. There’s always a cost: either the short-term comfort that keeps you small, or the long-term peace that expands every part of your life.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three brutal — but liberating — truths that changed everything for me and every woman I’ve coached

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “I just wish this were easier.”
  • “My partner still drinks — how can I do this alone?”
  • “I’ve tried everything, what if I fail again?”

Then this episode is for you. I’ll show you why the “other side” of drinking isn’t unknown — it’s the most familiar place you’ve simply forgotten how to access.
