Even in the midst of holiday cheer, it's possible to safeguard your sobriety or manage your drinking. By developing a "party protocol" you'll be able to navigate social events and parties without compromising your goals.

This bonus episode is all about empowering you to attend those holiday gatherings with a peace-filled plan and a steadfast plan.

In this episode, I'll walk you through creating a protocol specific to social events, focusing on four critical aspects: what to do, what not to do, how to ask for help, and how to talk to yourself. Remember, "no" is a complete sentence, and peace is possible, especially as we navigate the holiday season.

With these strategies, you can enjoy your celebrations while staying true to yourself and your commitments to yourself.

Let's embark on this journey together, by inviting the Lord to partner with you in creating a more fulfilling experience.

Join me and my friend and Catholic Life Coach Roxsan de Vera, as we explore the power of meekness and humility. Roxsan shares her personal journey of overcoming busyness and boundary issues by striving to become meek and humble of heart inspired by the scripture Matthew 11:28-30. She sheds light on the transformative power of humility and meekness in understanding our relationship with God.

Trust and surrender are not just words; they are actions. Roxsan and I engage in a discussion about leaning into God's grace and recognizing what is within our control. We further delve into surrender and she offers practical strategies and resources to enable you to let go and let God. Furthermore, we discuss the value of mentorship in our spiritual journey, underscoring the critical role a coach can play in identifying areas for growth and healing.
