In this deeply personal episode of “Life Sober and Shit,” I share my own journey through sobriety and the profound lessons learned in releasing what I cannot control. It's a reflection on the past decisions that have shaped me and how stepping forward from them has opened up new horizons and opportunities I never thought possible. This episode is close to my heart, as it’s also a candid conversation about the importance of self-compassion and the tendency we all have to focus on our flaws rather than our strengths.

I talk about my experiences with the harshness of self-criticism and how I've learned to give myself the grace and kindness I'd offer to others. It’s a reminder to all of us about the significance of recognizing our achievements, big or small, and acknowledging how fabulous we truly are.

I get into the pitfalls of comparison, especially in this digital age where we're bombarded with snapshots of perfection on social media that often distort reality. I share how grounding myself in my current reality, accepting where I am, and expressing gratitude for my journey has led to blessings and growth in unexpected ways.

Time’s relentless march forward has taught me the crucial lesson of refocusing my attention and being intentional about where I direct my thoughts and energy. In this episode, I discuss how embracing sobriety has become a metaphor for me—clearing my life of not just substances but also of any thoughts, habits, or distractions that do not serve my highest good.

Join me as I share the insights and truths I've uncovered on my path: that letting go, moving forward, and being kind to ourselves can transform our lives in beautiful, unforeseen ways.
