Ever notice how you can want something with your whole heart — peace, consistency, freedom — and still keep doing the opposite?

You start to grow… then you pull back. You feel joy… then you create chaos. You commit to healing… then you numb out again.

That’s not because you’re weak. That’s self-sabotage — and it’s your brain’s sneaky way of trying to keep you “safe.”

See, your mind is wired for familiar, not for freedom. So every time you try to change — even in a good way — your subconscious sounds the alarm: “This feels unsafe!” And you slip right back into old habits and survival patterns.

But here’s the good news: You can rewire it. 🙌

In this week’s Set Free Sisterhood Podcast, I’m breaking down the science behind self-sabotage — what’s really happening in your brain, how to recognize it, and what to do when you catch yourself falling into the same old loops.

And if this hits home for you — if you’re tired of looping in the same patterns, saying “I’ll do better” but never feeling free — that’s exactly the kind of work I do as a coach.

I help women uncover the roots of self-sabotage, heal the old beliefs running the show, and step into who God created them to be — free, confident, and grounded in truth.

Welcome, friends! In this episode, I dive deep into the fears that come up when you start thinking about changing your relationship with alcohol—especially how it might impact your marriage and family. I know firsthand how easy it is to use alcohol as a crutch in the chaos of life, whether it’s to cope with stress, numb loneliness, or just get through the day. We talk about those scary “what ifs”—what if your partner doesn’t like the new you, what if you can’t handle stress without drinking, or what if your marriage actually gets worse? I remind you that these fears are normal, but they don’t have to hold you back.

Together, we explore the powerful possibilities on the other side of change. What if your relationships actually improve? What if your kids see a new model of emotional regulation? I share practical steps for regulating your emotions—like deep breathing, journaling, and prayer—and encourage you to let your family members be responsible for their own feelings. I invite you to imagine your future self: confident, free, and living with clarity. Remember, you’re not alone on this journey. If you’re ready for support, I’m here for you. Let’s take this one step at a time, and trust that you are worth the healing and peace that comes with living alcohol-free.

So many women are serving, giving, and fixing for everyone else—yet quietly running on empty. You’ve been told it’s selfish to spend money on coaching, therapy, or retreats… selfish to carve out time for rest, sleep, and soul care… selfish to set boundaries. But the truth? Neglecting yourself is what’s actually hurting you—and it’s holding you back from the life God created you to live.

In this episode of the Set Free Sisterhood Podcast, I’m breaking down:

• Why women struggle with guilt and unworthiness when it comes to investing in themselves

• The hidden costs of always putting yourself last (burnout, resentment, missed goals, unhealthy coping)

• How investing your time, money, and energy in YOU creates freedom, clarity, and purpose

• Practical ways to begin stewarding your health, your mind, and your spirit without guilt

When you say yes to investing in yourself, you’re not taking away from your family—you’re giving them a stronger, healthier, more purposeful YOU.

In this episode, I invite you to join me in reflecting on a powerful question: “How do you know when you’ve suffered enough?” I open up about my own journey with alcohol and the many ways it impacted my life—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Here’s what I share in this episode:

• The real costs of drinking—not just money, but your health, time, energy, relationships, and self-worth.

• The cycle of quitting and starting over, and why it’s so common (trust me, I’ve been there!).

• Why vague goals like “feeling better” aren’t enough, and how honest self-reflection can be a game changer.

• My own “bathtub moment” and how surrendering to God was the turning point for me.

• The importance of vulnerability and why being honest with ourselves is a true superpower.

I encourage you to:

• Journal and reflect on what alcohol is costing you right now.

• Pray and ask yourself: When will your “enough is enough” moment be?

• If you feel like I might be the right person to support you, email me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com and let’s set up a conversation.

Remember, freedom is absolutely possible for you. Take some time this week to get honest with yourself, seek support, and know that you are not alone.

Thank you for listening and being part of this journey with me. If this episode spoke to you, please share it with a friend or leave a review—I’d love to hear from you!

With love, Michelle

We’re living in a time when culture is loud, messy, and full of opinions. From politics to podcasts to people like Charlie Kirk making headlines, it can feel overwhelming as a Christian woman to know how to respond.

But here’s the truth: Jesus already told us how to live. He gave us a clear roadmap — be salt and light, love radically, seek God’s Kingdom first, and stay connected to Him.

In this episode, I’m unpacking:

• What Jesus says about how His daughters should live in this world

• Why staying “set apart” matters more than ever

• How to respond to culture without getting swallowed up by it

• Practical ways to stay grounded, focused, and kingdom-minded every single day

If you’ve been wondering “What do I do now, as a Christian woman in this world?” — this episode is for you.

Welcome to September, friends! In this heartfelt episode, I open up about the struggles we all face with self-doubt, unworthiness, and the belief that we should be able to fix things on our own. I share my own journey of learning that asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom, and it’s exactly how God designed us to live. Vulnerability has become my superpower, and I encourage you to embrace yours, too. We talk about the importance of community, drawing on scripture to remind us that we are called to encourage and build each other up. I invite you to consider joining the Set Free Sisterhood group, a safe and supportive space for faith-focused women who want to break free from the cycle of drinking and find true healing. You’ll hear real testimonies from women who have experienced transformation and freedom, and I share how our group meets every other Thursday night, with ongoing connection through our WhatsApp chat. If you’re tired of doing this alone, know that you are worthy of support and healing. Reach out to me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com if you have questions or want to schedule a one-on-one call. Let’s walk this journey together—because you don’t have to fight this battle alone.

Hey beautiful friends! In this episode, I’m diving deep into the truth that “thoughts aren’t the boss of you”—even though sometimes it really feels like they are. I share my own experiences with those moments when a thought comes out of nowhere and suddenly you’re spiraling into stress, fear, or cravings. We talk about how our brains are wired to keep us safe and how old patterns can pop up, even after years of growth. I want you to know you’re not alone in this, and there’s nothing wrong with you if you still get hijacked by old thoughts or temptations.

I walk you through what to do when you feel triggered—how to pause, breathe, and observe what’s really going on, both in your mind and your body. I share why it’s so important to give yourself grace, celebrate your wins (even the small ones!), and remember that you always have a choice in how you respond. We also chat about the power of community and support, and I invite you to join “The Collective,” my group starting September 11th, where we’ll meet every other Thursday to connect, be coached, and grow together. If you’re not on my email list yet, head over to setfreesisterhood.com to join and stay updated on all the latest.

Remember, you can’t always control what pops into your mind, but you can control what you do next. Give yourself permission to pause, breathe, and choose your next step with intention. I’m cheering you on every step of the way!

Check out the link in the show notes to sign up for the Set Free Sisterhood Collective, or email me anytime at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com if you have questions or just want to connect. I can’t wait to walk this journey with you, sister. You are not alone!
