  • ADHD and self-medicating with alcohol

    Today’s episode is a heavy one. I’m opening up about my ongoing struggle with ADHD and OCD symptoms, and why I’m seriously considering medication to make everyday life more manageable. We also dive into a difficult but important topic: why people with ADHD are more vulnerable to alcohol misuse, and how that coping mechanism can quietly take hold. Most importantly, we talk about healthier ways to cope without alcohol.

  • No one warns you about THIS in sobriety...

    One of the things I struggled with in the beginning of sobriety was the abundance of time. My days basically doubled when I quit drinking, and it was really hard to fill my time when I was SO bored, yet also hyper and restless.

    What was once a burden on my life is now my favorite part about life!! Having the entire day to be productive and enjoy life has truly been a blessing. I went from "when is this day going to end?" to "I've done so much with my day."

    In this episode, I'll give you some advice for those tough early days and share how I transitioned from hating the extra time to absolutely loving it :)

  • Managing stress in sobriety

    In today’s episode, we’re talking about healthier ways to manage stress without turning to alcohol. For so many of us, drinking has been the go-to because it works fast -it takes the edge off and gives quick relief. But that relief is temporary, and it doesn’t actually address what’s underneath the stress. Over time, it can leave us feeling even more anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle.

    So today, I’m sharing simple, practical strategies you can use in those moments when stress hits -tools that help you actually move through what you’re feeling instead of escaping it. Because most of the time, it’s not that we truly want alcohol, we just want relief. And there are healthier ways to get there.

  • 10 sober hacks you need to know

    Jumping on (solo) to give you some of my most random, but useful hacks for sobriety :) I call these "hacks" because they're super small little things that only time and experience could have revealed. I don't hear a lot of other people talking about these, so hopefully they can help somebody out there -because I know they've helped me.
