Resentment used to be my excuse for everything - to drink, to argue, to numb. 

Sobriety forced me to face it differently, and in this episode, I share exactly how I release resentment now without bypassing my very real feelings. 

From the journaling prompts that help me name what I’m feeling, to praying for myself first, to setting boundaries that protect my energy, these are the five steps that help me process and let go. 

If you’re tired of carrying what someone else dropped on you, this is your reminder that you can choose emotional freedom instead.

Here are the highlights:

How to name your feelings without censoring them (6:10)

Separating what’s yours from what’s theirs (18:20)

Praying for yourself before anyone else (27:05)

Boundaries that protect your energy (34:10)

Releasing the need for resolution (41:30)

A simple daily reading from the 24 Hours a Day app stopped me in my tracks this week. It had me reflecting on my character, the changes I know I need to make, and why asking for help can feel so hard. 

I share personal stories, including one involving my daughter and a stubborn t-shirt, that reminded me how my higher power works in my life. 

I also talk about the sneaky damage comparison can do, how social media fuels it, and why I’m learning to see “never being satisfied” as an opportunity instead of a burden.

Here are the highlights:

Meditation for the Day and Its Relevance (1:52)

Challenges of Self-Reflection and Comparison (3:55)

Striving for a Better Life and Morning Routine (6:58)

The Role of Higher Power and Personal Responsibility (8:18)

In this episode I share the first part of my reinvention coaching framework, which covers vision, calibration, beliefs, and self-worth. Inspired by the quote “Shame dies when stories are told in safe places.”

I talk about how my own vision for sobriety started as a quiet whisper I was too scared to share. Once I voiced it, it began to grow, and I saw the same happen for my clients.

I share my journey of uncovering limiting beliefs, like the fear that telling the truth would cost me love, and how letting go of that belief was a turning point. Finally, I reflect on self-worth, how people-pleasing once felt like a way to belong, and how sobriety taught me that prioritising myself is sacred, not selfish.

Wherever you are in your journey - sober, sober-curious, or simply seeking clarity - I want you to know your vision matters, your beliefs can shift, and your worth is never in question.

Here are the highlights:

The Power of Vision (2:10)

Calibration and Incompletions (4:53)

Beliefs and Their Impact (6:14)

Self-Worth and People Pleasing (8:38)

In this episode, I’m sharing how The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz changed the way I show up in sobriety and life. 

Sobriety wasn’t just about quitting drinking - it was about learning to untangle old stories and build a healthier relationship with myself. These four simple principles became a foundation for that.

I talk about how each agreement helped me find emotional freedom and show up with more ease and self-compassion. Even now, years later, I still come back to them when life feels messy.

If you’re curious about creating more peace and clarity on your own journey, this episode will give you simple, powerful tools to start.

Here are the highlights:

Understanding the Four Agreements (1:52)

Agreement One: Be Impeccable with Your Word (3:36)

Agreement Two: Don't Take Anything Personally (5:41)

Agreement Three: Don't Make Assumptions (6:55)

Agreement Four: Always Do Your Best (9:00)

This episode is a really honest one, because I’m right in the middle of a tough personal decision - whether or not to move across the country for the sake of my co-parenting situation. 

It’s one of those moments where I have to ask myself, “Am I making this choice from fear or from faith?” And instead of speaking about it vaguely, I decided to share the raw truth in real time, because if sobriety has taught me anything, it’s to be honest.

I talk about what it means to trust spiritual guidance, especially when it feels like letting go might cost you something - your comfort, your relationships, your peace. 

I reflect on the 12 Steps, especially steps one through three, and how they help me process not just sobriety, but life and big emotions. 

This episode is a reminder that letting go isn’t losing - it’s choosing alignment over approval.

Here are the highlights:

Spiritual Will vs. Personal Desire (1:51)

Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (3:49)

Choosing Alignment Over Approval (5:56)

Steps for Making The Right Decisions (8:03)

This episode was sparked by something simple I heard at a meeting - one of those lines that hits you right in the chest and sticks around. 

It led me to reflect on how often fear feels real even when it’s not telling the truth. 

So today I’m talking about what happens when we open the door to fear, what faith can offer us instead, and how we can start choosing differently - even if it’s just one thought at a time.

Highlights:

(01:43) Fear knocked. Faith answered. No one was there

(04:08) When fear feels real but isn’t true

(06:22) Losing my dad and fearing I’d be next

(08:34) Faith is God’s will, fear is mine

(09:08) You can always choose again, even now

In this episode, I’m taking you back to my first 90 days of sobriety and sharing how I stayed grounded when no one else around me was changing. 

I talk about the messy, raw, but beautiful early days and how I learned that choosing myself wasn’t selfish – it was necessary. 

I share my three tools to remember your why when it feels hard, from micro rituals to micro actions that align you with the woman you’re becoming. I also dive into emotional honesty and why sobriety is never a punishment, but a path back to yourself. 

If you’re feeling stuck, lost, or just need a reminder today that you’re worth prioritising, this one is for you.

Balancing Self-Care and Social Life (2:09)

The Importance of Reminding Yourself Why (3:43)

This week, I sat down with Melissa McGovern, also known as The Sober New Yorker. 

Melissa shares her incredibly raw and honest story of what it looks like to live in the “gray area” of drinking. No dramatic rock bottom, just a quiet knowing that something needed to change.

We talked about everything from the sneaky shame that lives in high-functioning drinking to the beauty of choosing yourself, one small decision at a time. Melissa’s story is proof that it’s never too late to reinvent your life - and that there’s so much life on the other side of saying “I’m done.”

She shares what helped her finally let go of alcohol, how her health transformed in just 11 weeks, and why her NYC life feels more vibrant and full now than ever before.

If you’re even a little sober curious, this is your sign to just take the next step. Let’s go.

Here are the highlights:

Melissa's Journey to Sobriety (5:15)

Turning Points and Personal Losses (31:27)

The Final Straw and Commitment to Sobriety (31:41)

In this week's episode, I open up about the kind of fear that keeps us stuck - the perfectionist, overthinking, control-seeking fear that tells us we’re not ready. I’ve been feeling it deeply around launching a group coaching program, even though I know it’s needed.

I share how I moved through that fear - not by pushing it away, but by surrendering. I talk about how fear often masks old beliefs about not being enough, and how taking just one small step can create momentum.

Sometimes surrender is the bravest action we can take - and sometimes the action comes after we’ve truly let go.

If fear has been holding you back, this episode is your reminder: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to have it all figured out. Just take the next step.

Here are the highlights:

Struggles with Fear in Coaching (2:19)

Surrendering to a Higher Power (6:31)

The Role of Beliefs in Fear (9:39)

Taking Micro Actions for Forward Motion (11:04)
