In this farewell-for-now episode of Sobriety Checkpoint, I reflect on the journey of hosting this podcast and how it has been a vessel of growth and learning in both my personal and professional life. As a sober mom and therapist who has navigated the complexities of mental health, spirituality, and sobriety, I've been blessed to share insights and stories that hopefully inspire and resonate with others living a sober lifestyle. Today, I'll share a deeply personal meditation from "Jesus Calling" that emphasizes the beauty of imperfection and the importance of not being overly harsh with oneself. This message is particularly poignant as it mirrors my own experiences of overcoming perfectionism in sobriety and the abundant growth that follows when we embrace progress over perfection.

As I pause this podcast to focus on expanding my therapeutic practice, remember that Sobriety Checkpoint's past episodes will remain available for guidance and inspiration. Whether you are a sober dad, engaging in tough relationship communication, or a parent striving for fun in sobriety without resentment, there's something here for you. I cherish every story shared and lesson learned with you all, and I hold onto faith that this isn't the end but a new beginning. Revisit the insights on communication, faith, and parenting whenever you need a reminder of your strength in sobriety. Thank you for allowing me into your lives; let's keep in touch through social media and continue supporting each other in our journeys. God bless.
