Welcome to this episode of The Sober Butterfly  podcast where we'll be discussing the importance of  the 3 D's: detox, declutter, and destress for the spring season. As the weather warms up and the days get longer, many of us feel the urge to clean up our homes, but spring cleaning can go beyond just tidying up your living space. In this episode, we'll explore the benefits of detoxing your body, decluttering your mind, and destressing your life this spring.

Segment 1: Detoxing 
Spring is the perfect time to give your body a break from the heavy, warming foods of winter and detoxify your system. We'll discuss the benefits of a social media cleanse, cleanses to try and some tips for making the process easier and more enjoyable.

Segment 2: Decluttering 
Just as we accumulate physical clutter in our homes, we can also accumulate mental and spiritual clutter that weighs us down. We'll talk about the importance of decluttering your mind and soul, some common sources of mental clutter, and techniques for clearing your mental space to improve focus and productivity.

Segment 3: Destressing 
Stress can be a major factor in our overall health and wellbeing, and spring is the perfect time to address it. We'll discuss some simple lifestyle changes that can help reduce stress levels, such as exercise, mindfulness practices, and time management techniques.

Spring is a time of renewal and growth, and by focusing on detoxing, decluttering, and destressing, we can create a solid foundation for a healthy, happy year ahead.

Thank you for tuning in to our podcast, and we hope you'll join us again next time.

In this podcast episode, we hear the heartbreaking story of a woman who was sex trafficked by her own husband. She shares the chilling details of how her ex-husband manipulated, coerced, and controlled her into the sex trade, and how she eventually managed to escape and reclaim her life.

Adriann talks in detail about the psychological and emotional abuse she endured at the hands of her ex and step-father, and how growing up in a strict  Morman community led her to getting married at 16 years old.  

Adriann also shares how her current husband's addiction  impacted their relationship and how she has   learned to support him through his recovery. She also offers practical advice for other spouses who may be supporting their partners through addiction, including the importance of compassion, patience, and support for those who are struggling with addiction.

Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of speaking out against the horrific crime of sex trafficking. Adriann's podcast is called Crime Theories podcast where she highlights small cold cases of those often forgotten in society.

In this episode, we will be discussing some essential tips and information you should know before traveling to Paris. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this guide will help you make the most of your trip to the City of Light.

Key Points:

1. French Language: French is the official language of France, and while many Parisians speak English, it's still a good idea to learn some basic phrases before your trip, for example, always greet people with "Bonjour" (Good morning) or "Bonsoir" (Good evening). Learning some French is particularly helpful because a lot of menus at restaurants are in French so I'd hate you for to make a sober social faux par by ordering a cocktail instead of a mocktail.
2. Drinking Culture: There is a lot of drinking but *caveat* not so much seeing people drunk.
3. People Watching as Sport: Not so much a sober thing but a good to know before you go thing. The french love to people watch; 
4. Cultural Etiquette: It's important to be aware of French cultural etiquette   and proper dining etiquette. Most likely, you will be presented with a wine list at dinner. Some restaurants have non-alcoholic options but not really an extensive list. 
5. Popular Attractions: Paris is home to many famous landmarks and museums, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Notre-Dame Cathedral. It's important to plan ahead and book tickets in advance to avoid long lines and crowds.

Welcome to our special Valentine's Day episode, where we celebrate love, faith, and sobriety. 

In this episode, we have a lighthearted conversation with a Christian couple where one partner has chosen to live their life without alcohol. While this may seem like a serious or restrictive decision, our guests prove that a life of sobriety can be fun, fulfilling, and full of laughter.

Our guests, Ahmad Rashad and Toya, share their personal stories of how Ahmad came to the decision to give up alcohol. They talk about the challenges they faced in a world where drinking is often seen as a social norm, and how their faith played a role in their decision.

Despite the challenges, Ahmad and Toya have found that living without alcohol has opened up a whole new world of possibilities. They have discovered new purpose, found deeper connections with friends and family, and learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

We discuss the misconceptions and stereotypes associated with being sober, and Ahmad and Toya challenge these stereotypes by sharing their own experiences of joy and fulfillment without alcohol. They also provide tips and advice for others who may be considering a sober lifestyle.

I’m beyond grateful for sobriety and wish to illuminate all the ways in which it has positively impacted my life, but I also don’t want to gloss over the hard parts. The reality is if sobriety were easy, more people would be sober. So   here are the things I wish I would have known before getting sober. This is not an exhaustive list but the biggest takeaways:

Chapters:
Intro: 00:00 - 01:26
Alcohol is Everywhere: 01:27 - 07:52
Your relationship with others will change: 07:53 - 13:42
Dating is different: 13:43 - 18:25
Your relationship with yourself will change: 18:26 - 24:17
Outro: 24:17 - 25:40
