Twenty-two months ago, I put the drink down and nobody told me what was actually waiting on the other side. In this episode, I walk through the five things no one mentioned when I got sober. Why staying curious about WHY I drank was harder than quitting. How my faith got louder, not quieter. How my marriage got stronger even though my husband still drinks. Why motherhood became a ministry instead of an endurance test. And the single sentence that finally made sense of all of it. If you're sober curious, newly sober, or just tired of waking up at 3am wondering, this one's for you.

Have you ever felt completely invisible while building something you believe in? This episode is raw, real and recorded on one of the hardest nights of this journey so far.

I'm getting honest about what the invisible stage of building a brand actually looks like. The comparison, the doubt, the 392 followers after a year of showing up, and the moment I wanted to burn it all down and start over.

But I'm choosing to remember that building this brand feels exactly like getting sober. Nobody celebrates the hard part. The results don't show up before the commitment.

If you're building something right now, a business, a sober life, a better version of yourself, and you feel completely unseen, this episode is for you.

Because invisible doesn't mean insignificant and quitting is the only thing that actually ends the story.

In this episode we are diving into something that a lot of people don't talk about and that's the identity crisis you will face in early sobriety. That moment where you realize you are standing in the gap between your old identity and the person you actually are without alcohol.

You have to to do the rebuild to get there, to find out who you really are and it's uncomfortable but it's worth it when you get to the other side. This episode will help you get comfortable with being uncomfortable and work through the gap for a freedom you can't even begin to imagine is possible.

We spend so much energy trying to control our drinking. The rules. The limits. Only on weekends. Only two glasses. And when the rules don't work, we replay. We go back to the night before and try to figure out where it went wrong like that's going to fix something.

It's not. Going back will never change the outcome. And constantly living in that state of mind isn't living.

In this episode I talk about the illusion of control we had with alcohol, why dwelling on past decisions keeps us stuck instead of helping us heal, and what actually matters, the control we have right now, today. Not replaying the tape. Playing it forward. Knowing the outcome won't be worth it.

The decision to get sober is all the control you need. And you can make that decision today.

No Wine. Just Wins. drops every Friday.

I quit drinking twice. Both times I was pregnant. Nine months each, no problem. And I used that as proof I didn't have a problem.

But the second those babies were born I went right back. Because I wasn't choosing sobriety. I was just pausing.

In this episode I talk about the difference between quitting because you have to and choosing to because you want to. The countdown mentality of pregnancy sobriety. Buying test strips for my breast milk because I couldn't trust myself. And the moment I sometimes think about what it would feel like to be pregnant one more time without a countdown in mind. Not because I want another baby. But because I wonder what that version of me would look like now.

June 16, 2024 I chose it for me. Not for a baby. Not because a doctor said so. Because I decided I deserved the same version of me that my babies got for nine months.

If you've ever quit and gone right back, this one's for you.

No Wine. Just Wins. drops every Friday.

In this episode I talk about what happened when the noise finally stopped. What it felt like to hear God clearly for the first time without the static of alcohol blurring what He was trying to show me. This is for the woman listening right now who's been pouring wine and praying for change in the same night.

This isn't a sermon. It's a conversation from a woman who finally stopped running and ran toward the one thing that was trying to save her.

Have you ever stopped and honestly asked yourself, do I still find alcohol fulfilling?

In this episode I get real on the moment I woke up to what alcohol was actually doing to my life. Not a rock bottom or dramatic intervention. Just a quiet, honest realization that the fun I'd been chasing for 20 years wasn't fun anymore.

If you've ever laughed along at a story you had zero memory of, white knuckled through a morning you don't want to admit to, or found yourself questioning whether alcohol is still serving you, this episode is for you.

Because the life you want doesn't need a drink. And it starts with one honest question.

We have all been programmed to believe that celebrating with loved ones this holiday season has to include drinking. It comes at us from every direction, from marketing ads to friends and family offering us drinks.

Newsflash! The holidays do not require alcohol. In today's episode we're talking about how being present for the holidays with those we love the most matters way more than any drink ever will.

This episode is basically me calling out the weird circus act we all do around drinking. You don’t need a label. You don’t need a crisis. You don’t need twelve strangers in a circle nodding at you. If the thought “maybe I should chill with alcohol” keeps popping up, congratulations, that’s already the sign.

I’m talking about the quiet stuff. The tiny nudges. The mornings you’re annoyed with yourself for no dramatic reason. The way you Google “cutting back on alcohol” or "do I have a drinking problem?"

This isn’t a lecture. It’s the honest conversation. Just because your life isn’t on fire doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to want better for yourself.

In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what giving up wine really uncovered in my life. Sobriety didn’t magically make everything better, it just made things clearer.

I open up about the parts of my identity and motherhood that I had been avoiding with booze for years, and how learning digital skills became the unexpected path that helped me get my confidence, purpose, and direction back.

If you’re sober, sober curious, or just craving something more for yourself, this one’s going to hit home.
