In this episode, I’m diving into the truth that no one tells you about getting sober: the real work starts after you put down the drink.

For many of us, the next layer of recovery is learning how to navigate our relationships without numbing, fixing, or losing ourselves in other people.

This one is for anyone who is navigating sobriety with a partner who still drinks.

• What happens when your nervous system finally stops buzzing
• Why peace can feel threatening after a lifetime of survival mode
• The sneaky ways people-pleasing and codependency show up post-sobriety
• Setting boundaries without guilt (and why it’s so damn hard)
• Healing the real root of addiction: disconnection from self

If you’re sober (or sober curious) and finding that your relationships are now the thing taking up all your emotional bandwidth, you are so not alone.
