Think about the BIG moments that shaped your life.  Who are you because of that experience?
Now imagine doing that with your fullest attention, awareness, conscious intention and a team of like minded women who are there to support you and help you write the next chapter of your story, without apology?

It's beyond transformative. 
Add in a luxury retreat, the Pacific Ocean, miles of untouched beach, like minded women, embodiment, and the elements of a solar eclipse... The list goes on!

• Cultivate community and create a sacred space for people to steep themselves in their vision. 

• There is a wound of receiving the presence of others, being witnessed and being held. It is a safe container to explore and dream as big as you possibly can. 

• The importance of being in the creative process in some capacity to know what you really want. 

• The solar eclipse is a massive acceleration portal to get there faster and to create something brand new to ignite your vision. 

• The power of sisterhood and retreats to give permission for what might feel completely illogical to come through and be fully seen and fully welcomed in by and witnessed. 

• The alchemical container of retreats, how retreats are shaped and dependent on who is in the container. 

• There is a calling for all of the people who are supposed to meet to meet. There is a force pulling us together, and it is something to contribute to the world and bring into relationships. 

• You don't need to already have it all figured out. The only type of person who needs this is someone looking to connect with themselves and connect with sisterhood. 

• When a place becomes a different culture and a different experience outside of the norm, there is an added layer of curiosity, getting outside of comfort zones and seeing how one fits in as a global citizen.

Today we explore the profound relationship between addiction and the lack of connection. We'll uncover how addiction is all about seeking connection, both externally and internally, and how it stems from a disconnection with our true selves.

In this podcast, we'll challenge conventional beliefs about addiction, especially when it comes to alcohol. Let's break free from the stigma and explore the notion that addiction is a product of behavior and beliefs, not a permanent identity. Today you'll discover how connection and self-awareness can lead to lasting change and liberation from alcohol.

Here's a glimpse of what we'll explore in this episode:

• The deep connection between addiction and a lack of connection to oneself.
• The intersection of behavior and belief in understanding addiction.
• Exploring the idea of moderation and its ties to addiction.
• Dissecting the outdated notion of addiction as a permanent identity.
• The impact of beliefs on our experience with alcohol and how they can be shifted.
• Dismantling the social stigmas around alcohol and its addictive nature.
• How true connection with oneself can lead to a life beyond alcohol.

If you're seeking freedom from the narrative of alcohol and a deeper connection with yourself, this podcast is for you.  Tune in and get ready to embrace your sober self and reconnect with the most natural part of you beyond the constructs of culture.

The wait of alcohol lives in your head, natural sobriety lives in your body...it's your birth-rite. In this episode, I delve into the journey of natural sobriety and the profound impact of reconnecting with our bodies. I discuss how alcohol acts as a dissociative, pulling us away from our body's natural cues and sensations. By embracing natural sobriety, we can uncover the innate wisdom our bodies hold, guiding us towards what truly serves us. I share a personal experience of attuning to my dog's energy, grounding both of us, and experiencing a profound release of neuroses. Through this journey, I invite listeners to explore their body's wisdom, tap into their intuition, and make decisions aligned with their naturally sober selves.

The biggest difference between deprivation and liberation is creativity.  Today, I delve into the profound connection between creativity and living an alcohol-free life. Sobriety has opened up a wellspring of creativity and cognitive abilities for me, allowing me to tap into a level of inspiration that was previously untapped. 

By removing alcohol from our lives, we can awaken our brains and experience a constant flow of new ideas and content creation. Sobriety is not a guarantee for everyone, but it has been a transformative experience for me personally. 

I explore the concept of the "alcohol brain" and how accepting the presence of an addictive neurotoxin is essential in our journey towards sobriety. Fostering a creative environment and embracing new perspectives can lead us to a naturally sober life filled with inspiration, personal growth, and meaningful experiences.

In this episode we explore the thought you are telling yourself  on repeat in some form or another, alcohol is a problem, I've got a problem, there's a problem! This ONE thought is compounding your desire to drink.  
Today I pose the question, what if the only problem is you thinking there is one?

Oftentimes, the bigger problem lies in our own perception rather than in the alcohol itself.

Here are the key points discussed in the episode:

1. Challenging the notion of alcohol as a problem.
2. Polarized views and societal expectations: The episode highlights the black-and-white thinking prevalent in society, where individuals are categorized as either "normal" or "alcoholic" drinkers. This binary approach fails to account for the complexity of people's relationships with alcohol.
3. Unseen struggles and hidden behaviors: many individuals who drink regularly may be addicted to alcohol and face personal challenges that are not immediately apparent to others.
4. The power of self-perception: the impact of labeling alcohol consumption as a problem and suggests reframing it as a desire for a different outcome. Shifting the focus to seeking new results can be empowering and inspiring.
5. The conditioning and association of alcohol: the conditioning of the brain and the association of alcohol with positive emotions, celebrations, and various experiences. This conditioning contributes to the difficulty of making changes in one's relationship with alcohol.

The episode also touches on topics such as the biological response to alcohol, the importance of good sleep for regulating the nervous system, and the transformative journey of going beyond alcohol. It encourages listeners to embrace the liminal space, where personal growth and self-discovery occur, and to recognize that emotions are temporary and cannot harm them.
