Are you a parent in recovery struggling with your emotional sobriety & feeling anxious about whether or not you’re doing this parenting thing right? Are you a self-proclaimed perfectionist constantly worried about what others think of you? Do you feel childhood and family patterns repeating themselves in your marriage or relationships? Did the pink cloud fade a long time ago only to be replaced with the restlessness, irritability, and discontent of those familiar drunken days? 

Sobriety has given you the ability to be a high achiever, it’s given you your dream job and a beautiful family - but you’re still dissatisfied. People see success when they look at you but all you see when you look in the mirror is a person you don’t even recognize - just like those 3am accidental glimpses in the mirror when you were crying in the bathroom. Desperate for a solution & crying out to a God you weren’t sure you even believed in. OH desperation - what a gift that was!

In this podcast you’re gonna find solutions to emotional health, relationship and parenting conflict, and that critical inner voice as well as transparent and authentic conversations about navigating mental health, faith, and relationships in recovery. 

My name’s Felicia and I’m a 12-stepper turned therapist. I’m married and I have two littles under 5. I grew up in church but I didn’t find Jesus or understand grace until I found the rooms of AA in 2011. I love Jesus but have had my fair share of struggling with church culture and religion. I know what it’s like to be stuck in a restless, irritable, and discontent rut (drunk & sober). I know the mom guilt that says, “this is what you wanted, why aren’t you happy?” I know your perfectionism, your worry of what others think of you, and your critical inner voice. I tried to strive and achieve to find happiness but that only left me more anxious, angry, and disconnected. I finally realized I needed to discover my true identity and let go of perfectionism and lean into love, curiosity, and playfulness. 

I’m still learning to slow down enough to enjoy the ride.. will you join me? If you’re ready to embrace the desperation of earlier days and face the challenges of overcoming perfectionism, healing that critical inner voice, and improving your mindset & emotional health so you can experience peace in life, then welcome to Sobriety Checkpoint! 

**It’s time for that desperately sought after solo Target run.. Grab your keys and let’s go for a drive... There’s no judgment (or breathalyzer) at this Sobriety Checkpoint.**
