If you're scared to quit drinking because you’re not sure who you’d be without alcohol, this episode is for you.

I’m taking you back to my first day of sobriety—not the polished version, but the shaky, uncertain moment when I wasn’t sure I could do it, or if I even wanted to, because alcohol still felt like comfort, connection, and relief.

In this episode, I share:

• What I believed alcohol was doing for me
 • Why quitting felt terrifying and the moment staying the same became even scarier
 • How understanding the brain changed how I viewed cravings and shame
 • Why AA helped me get sober but didn’t fully restore my identity
 • The shift that happened when faith became the source of healing, not just part of my life
 • How removing alcohol often uncovers deeper wounds that need care, not condemnation
 • Why freedom isn’t just “not drinking”—it’s no longer needing alcohol to feel okay

I also share why I now coach Catholic women through this process—not by pushing willpower, but by helping them build awareness, rewire their identity, and heal through faith and neuroscience.

If you are sober-curious, newly alcohol-free, or simply wondering whether your relationship with alcohol is costing you peace, you are not alone.
