In episode 229 of the Sober Vibes podcast, I welcome Raechelle Embrey to the show, and we chat about how to heal from Perfectionism and People Pleasing, why so many women turn to alcohol, and how energy work, inner child healing, and setting boundaries can break the cycle.

Perfectionism, high achievement, and alcohol often go hand in hand, especially for high-functioning women who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed and disconnected on the inside. 

Raechelle shares her personal story of growing up with a mother who had borderline personality disorder and how that experience shaped her perfectionism, people-pleasing, and eventual reliance on alcohol as a way to soften the pressure. 

Raechelle Embry is a Business & Wealth Astrologer and Energetic Alchemist for audacious, highly sensitive high-achievers. She is a podcast host and energy coach.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why perfectionists often use alcohol to “soften” and feel less rigid
• How unhealed childhood trauma manifests as people-pleasing and self-abandonment
• The connection between borderline mothers and high-achieving daughters
• What “energetic boundaries” are and why they’re essential for recovery
• Inner child work as a tool for healing energy stored in the body
• How astrology can help identify patterns of self-abandonment
• Why it’s hard for high-achieving women to trust their own perception
• How codependency and control can show up even after quitting alcohol

If you’ve been doing all the work but still feel like something’s missing, this episode offers a new lens on emotional sobriety and healing at the energetic level.

Thank you for listening, and I hope it helps you today!
