This episode is a raw conversation with one of my best friends about her journey with sobriety. We talk the challenges that she faced at the beginning, the challenges she still faces six years later, the benefits, and everything in between. 

Alcohol has become very "normal" in our society. I left some food for thought in the intro, and I want to leave it here for you too...why is it that we question why people aren't drinking, but not why drinking is part of everything that we do?

If you are sober curious, just want to gain some pretty incredible knowledge, or ready to embark on your own sobriety journey, here are some of our favorite resources:

The podcast episode (below) on Huberman Lab is for EVERYONE that drinks ANY amount of alcohol. Huberman talks about the physiological effects that drinking alcohol has on the brain and body at different levels of consumption and over time. 

Listen to Huberman on Apple Listen to Huberman on Spotify:   This book is for anyone ready to get sober, identifies as sober curious, or anyone that questions the role alcohol plays in our society (guaranteed to make you feel "normal" for questioning alcohol):  This Naked Mind by Annie Grace   For anyone questoining their relationship with alcohol, this podcast, Recovery Elevator shares great resources, mindset shifts surrounding sobriety, and tons of stories from extreme drinkers to "normal" drinkers and their decision to get sober:    Listen to Recovery Elevator on Apple Listen to Recovery Elevator on Spotify   As a athlete and a runner, Lindsey felt very connected to the book: Finding Ultra by Rich Roll   Last but not least, Lindsey mentioned the Heart of Recovery in Boulder. They meet on a regular basis (online and/or in person)  and focus upon sharing support while bringing together contemplative practice and a commitment to sobriety.

There has been a bit of self-sabotage going on over here....but it disguised itself as "being professional and putting out quality content". It can be sneaky like that....

POST SHOW THOUGHTS: I will eventually only record ONCE per episode....but I am also ok with giving myself GRACE right now. There is a BIG difference between self-sabotage and grace, my friend.

 

Change is not meant to be nearly as hard as we make it. The irony is, the act of moving into something new or different isn't usually the most challenging part. For many of us, it's the moments leading up to it that stress us out to the max, make us doubt ourselves, and cause us to focus on all the reasons why maybe we shouldn't do it....or maybe just wait until next week (month, or year).

But here's the thing, if the change is calling you - what are you actually resisting? What is the thing that you are prolonging for yourself?

The best way to find out is to stop giving the concept of change all of your power, and to start embracing the fact that it is actually meant for you. This episode is meant to inspire you to do just that.

Welcome to the FIRST OFFICIAL Confession Corner! 

This is a trend that my friends and I started during quarantine. It's meant to be a time/space to share things that you might not be super proud of, but are processing or have moved through.

My intenetion is for these episodes to be lighthearted, super short snippets, so you can get to know me a little more and maybe be willing to open up about some of your own little confessions :)

 

 

I am a firm believer that this is a conversation that we ALL need in our lives. It is easy to tell ourselves that we "hold ourselves to a high standard" but are you doing it with love, patience, and understanding? Or are you making yourself feel like crap for not being able to achieve those "high standards"?

In this episode I share why it is SO important for our progress, our sucess, and our happiness to change this narrative AND, most importantly, HOW to do just that. 

You already know if this is a coversation you need to have.

Sending you SO much love and KINDNESS,

Sarah

In 2021, I made the decision to "start over" professionally while building a business from the ground up. This has meant more "firsts" than I can count. Through it all, I can confidently say, I have become an expert on the subject of being a beginner.

Today I'm giving you the same pep talk I have given myself time and time again. Because we ALL start somewhere and being a beginner is a phase. I promise it is temporary, and I hope this chat helps to put that into perspective while providing some words or encouragement.

For anyone just getting started - I am celebrating you and cheering you on SO HARD right now. I promise, I am your biggest fan AND you got this.

Be sure to stick around until the end for my LIVE ENERGY READING with Emily. I was surprised at what came through and the accuracy of what she shared.
