Sobriety Snippets for Ambitious Women Over 40 - Gain Confidence, Clarity & Success With An Alcohol-Free Mindset

The Compliment Trap: How Dismissing Praise Signals Emotional Immaturity in Sobriety


Listen Later

What’s your first instinct when someone compliments you? Brush it off? Downplay it? Laugh it away? If so, this episode is for you.

Today, we dive into the subtle—but powerful—connection between how you receive compliments and your emotional maturity in sobriety. If you're a high-achieving woman building a sober life and still find yourself uncomfortable with praise, it's not just a social quirk—it's a reflection of your inner recovery work.

In this insightful episode, you'll

  • recognize why learning to say “thank you” is a key marker of emotional sobriety—not a sign of arrogance.
  • uncover how difficulty accepting praise often stems from the lingering self-doubt tied to your drinking past.
  • experience the unexpected boost in confidence that comes from fully owning your strengths, successes, and sense of self.

We’ll also talk about the origin of Becca’s signature hairstyle (spoiler: it involves a compliment from someone in deep psychosis!) and why style, identity, and acceptance all play a role in your sober journey.

Hit play now to learn how a simple “thank you” can become one of your most powerful tools in recovery.
