Ever wonder how your brain chemistry, protein intake, and blood sugar impact your relationship with alcohol? In this episode, I sit down with Lindsay Marie, a mental health nutrition coach and mom of three, as she shares her inspiring story of finding balance after giving birth. We dive into how brain chemistry shapes our well-being, the feelings of disconnection that can arise when it's out of sync, and simple ways to reconnect with our natural systems.

We also talk about the powerful connection between diet and cravings—especially the role of protein in stabilizing blood sugar and balancing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. If you’ve struggled with stress or addictive habits, this conversation is packed with insights, like how nutrition can naturally support your body and mind.

Join us as we explore personalized nutrition, the patience it takes to restore balance after challenges, and the tools you can use to reclaim joy, better sleep, and freedom in your habits.

What happens when you decide to lay down the wine glass for good, even coming from a culture where it's practically a staple? Join me for a compelling journey with Brooke Joiner, co-founder and CEO of Catholic Owned, as she shares her path to sobriety, inspired by her faith and the Blessed Mother. We explore how cultural expectations, particularly from her husband’s wine-making family, were gracefully navigated with a focus on spiritual growth and personal well-being. Brooke's story is a testament to how faith can profoundly transform lifestyle choices.

The pressures and societal norms surrounding drinking can be daunting, especially for Catholic women seeking to align their lives with spiritual beliefs. As we reflect on Marian consecration and its influence on our choices, we confront cultural stereotypes head-on, advocating for a life that prioritizes faith over fleeting social comforts. Let's unravel the complexities of facing social gatherings without alcohol and find strength in the solidarity of shared spiritual convictions.

Sobriety isn't merely about abstention; it's about balance and aligning with one's values.  This episode encourages honest self-examination, urging listeners to create space for divine presence, especially during reflective times like Advent. Let’s embark on this journey together, finding peace and joy in faith and purposeful living.

Ever wondered how faith can transform your journey to better health? Join us on the Catholic Sobriety Podcast as we sit with Janna Kerr, a certified integrative nutrition health coach, who reveals her inspiring path that began with a quest for family wellness. 

Through her unique approach that intertwines biblical faith with health coaching, Janna shares how she helps women make sense of the often contradictory advice in the world of nutrition. Learn about the origins of her business, At the Well Coaching, which draws inspiration from the biblical encounter of Jesus with the Samaritan woman, emphasizing the importance of meeting people where they are on their wellness journey.

Explore the profound challenges women face when they turn to alcohol or food as a form of self-care, especially after a taxing day. We introduce Janna's "setting the table" model, a transformative approach that encourages women to view their lives as a beautifully set wedding table, with prayer at its core. This episode delves into how examining key life areas—such as spirituality, creativity, and physical activity—can lead to healthier habits, replacing detrimental routines with nurturing practices that resonate with one's values and spiritual journey.

We underscore the importance of self-awareness, strategic planning, and establishing boundaries—all crucial steps towards empowering women to masterfully navigate life's unpredictability.

What happens when a mother’s battle with alcohol addiction becomes the catalyst for her son’s spiritual awakening? Eric Gallagher, a devoted husband and father, shares his poignant journey from the heart of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where the shadows of his mother’s alcoholism loomed over his youth. Eric recounts the turbulent days following an unexpected intervention, which marked the beginning of his quest for healing. Guided by his father’s encouragement to explore faith, Eric experienced a life-altering conversion at church camp, setting him on a path to ministry and helping him turn personal turmoil into a mission spanning two decades.

Eric’s story offers an intimate look into the complexities of family dynamics disrupted by addiction and the transformative power of faith. We explore how grace and forgiveness can guide families through adversity, emphasizing the strength found in open communication and understanding. Eric discusses the significance of breaking free from destructive patterns and embracing a God-centered approach to healing, offering insights into the role of love, support, and community in overcoming personal struggles. This episode highlights the spiritual dimensions of addiction and advocates for moving beyond blame to find true healing.

We also dive into the importance of presence and silence, particularly in the age of constant digital distractions. Eric shares how fostering intentional spiritual practices at home, such as moments of silence and engagement in prayer, can profoundly impact young people. We examine how parents can nurture their children’s spiritual journeys by being authentically present and creating opportunities for meaningful conversations. By sharing his experiences, Eric invites us to consider how vulnerability and authenticity can lead to healing and growth within families, ultimately enriching our spiritual lives and those of our children.
