In this episode, we explore the topic of how to identify your personal core values and use them to reinforce your decision to live an alcohol-free life in a positive and meaningful way that sustains your sobriety over the long-term. 

Core values are fundamental beliefs that can guide our behavior and decision-making in life. They serve as a compass, giving us direction and helping us to prioritize what is truly important and meaningful in our lives. 

Once you know your own personal core values you can use them to evaluate how you’re spending your time, money and energy as well as using them to make decisions. For example, you can ask yourself “Does this move, job, habit, behavior, connection or decision bring me closer to my values or take me further away?” 

Identifying your core values is important personal development work to do when you decide to stop drinking.

When I was drinking I used alcohol to check out after a hard day, numb out from irritation and resentment, make the monotony of adulting less boring and as a reward to look forward to for getting through another week. 
And when drinking left me with too many hangovers, sleepless nights and crushing anxiety I finally decided that I didn’t want to feel that way anymore and (slowly) pieced together 30, 60, 100, 180+ days alcohol-free. 
It’s not easy, but it is pretty clear how to do the “sobriety” thing. When you don’t drink, you’re sober!
But in order to “stay” sober, learning how to practice emotional sobriety can keep you balanced and happy in an alcohol-free life.
Emotional sobriety is all about handling your emotions in a healthy, balanced way without turning to alcohol to cope with life’s challenges. 
It’s really important for long-term recovery because ignoring your mental and emotional health can get you in a place where it’s really attractive to escape with alcohol.

Ep. 216: Why Emotional Sobriety Is Key to Navigating an Alcohol-Free Life

Rekindling romance and managing conflict in intimate relationships is something a lot of women struggle with—whether it's why they drink or a challenge they face after stepping away from alcohol. 
Figuring out how to handle conflicts, set boundaries, and connect with your partner can be really tough, especially when alcohol has been your go-to for socializing or managing stress.
Whether or not you realize it, drinking has probably influenced the ways you are used to connecting, communicating and managing conflict with your partner. 
So if you feel disconnected from your partner, don’t know how to manage conflict or get back the spark you used to have, we’re here to help!
I asked Anna Aslanian, a marriage and family therapist, for her guidance on how to rekindle romance and manage conflict in your relationship.

Ep. 215: How to Rekindle Romance and Manage Conflict in Your Relationship

In this special anniversary episode, I’m celebrating four incredible years of the Hello Someday Podcast, marked by 214 episodes and 1.5 million downloads. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm deeply grateful to each and every one of you who has joined me along the way.
To mark this occasion, I'm thrilled to revisit my top guest interview of all time: my conversation with Holly Whitaker, author of The New York Times best-selling book Quit Like A Woman, The Radical Choice To Not Drink In A Culture Obsessed with Alcohol.

Holly's book holds a special place in my heart as she was a big part of my own sobriety journey. 
In this episode Holly and I talk about the role of alcohol in society and its impact on women, why to embrace the trial-and-error nature of quitting drinking and why phrases like "Never Question the Decision" (NQTD) can serve as powerful mantras on the journey to sobriety.

We also dive into how much the recovery movement has shifted in the last 10 years as more women are speaking out about their decision to stop drinking.

Quit Like A Woman has been described as a groundbreaking look at drinking culture and a road map to cutting out alcohol that will change the way you look at drinking forever. I know you’re going to love this conversation with Holly.

Ep. 214: Quit Like A Woman with Holly Whitaker

I describe myself as an ex-red wine girl and a recovering people-pleaser. And if you’re wondering how those two things are connected we’re going to dig into that because as you start to navigate sobriety, boundaries are going to be your very best friend.
Have you fallen into a people-pleasing pattern? 

Maybe you’re an overachiever who takes care of everything and everyone. 

Maybe you’re the happy, agreeable girl who spends a lot of time “reading the room” to anticipate the emotions of others so you can put them at ease. 

Maybe you’re uncomfortable with conflict and would rather stuff down negative emotions than share them with the people in your life. 

Maybe you’re afraid to say no because you want people to like you.

Maybe you’re terrified of disapproval so you’re anxious, self-critical and a perfectionist. 

Maybe you’re so busy meeting others’ expectations that you have trouble identifying your own wants, needs and feelings.

Maybe you’re externally motivated, anxiously seeking the validation of your parents, teachers, boss, spouse, children or friends. 


It even sounds exhausting. And those ingrained patterns of behavior can make you want to drink to check out from overwhelm, resentment, sadness, loneliness, stress, irritation, unhappiness or feeling unappreciated. 

I asked my good friend Hailey Magee, a certified coach who helps people around the world break the people-pleasing pattern and master the art of self-advocacy and author of the book, Stop People Pleasing and Find Your Power to help me unpack people-pleasing, boundaries and why they matter in sobriety.

Ep. 213: How To Stop People-Pleasing In Sobriety

Are mindfulness practices part of your sober toolbox? If not, they should be. Mindfulness in sobriety can help you manage cravings, reduce stress and anxiety, regulate your emotions, increase self awareness, support your overall well-being, mental health and prevent relapse. 

I know those are big promises, so let’s break down what mindfulness is, how you practice it and apply it to your sobriety. 

So if you’re ready to dive into all things mindfulness in sobriety I asked my friend Deb Masner, host of the Alcohol Tipping Point podcast, to dive into what mindfulness is and how to use it to support your recovery and alcohol-free life.
