In this special episode, I share the raw, pivotal moment I quit drinking—forever—and how that single decision became the catalyst for my mind renewal journey. I read from my personal journal entries written in the early months of sobriety, when discomfort, grief, and resolve collided. Choosing to feel instead of escape wasn’t easy, but it was the beginning of a new life. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to make a deep, lasting change, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Renew Your Mind Podcast, we’re talking about what to do when life or growth feels hard. You’ll learn the difference between reacting with “Oh no!”—which brings fear, overwhelm, and self-doubt—and choosing “Okay,” which invites calm, confidence, and strength. If you’ve ever felt like hard things meant something was wrong, this episode will help you shift your thinking and stay grounded through it all.
