Trick or Treat? 🍬 This Halloween, let's talk about the common belief that a glass of wine is our "reward" or "treat" at the end of a long day. I used to fall into this trap myself, thinking I deserved that drink to unwind. But the truth is, alcohol is a trick, not a treat. It may provide a temporary escape, but it doesn't actually help us relax or cope with stress in a healthy way. In my latest podcast episode, I'm debunking this mindset and sharing how we can reframe our relationship with alcohol. It's time to explore new routines and rituals that bring us genuine, lasting fulfillment - without the guilt and negative consequences. If you're ready to break free from the alcohol reward cycle, I'd love to support you.

My Fall Support Sisterhood group is in full swing, and I'll be launching a new group in the new year.

In this episode, I discuss the crucial difference between confidence and certainty, and why cultivating certainty in oneself is the key to making lasting changes and achieving personal growth. I outline a step-by-step process for building certainty, including:

• Identifying your core values

• Developing strong self-awareness

• Building trust with yourself by keeping commitments

• Challenging negative self-talk

• Taking consistent, intentional action

• Surrounding yourself with a supportive network

I also share about the one-on-one support opportunities I have available for those struggling with issues like alcohol use, relationship challenges, and finding purpose. I encourage you to reach out if you called to this personalized coaching. Key Takeaways:

• Confidence is built on past experience, but certainty comes from a deep, unwavering belief in yourself.

• Certainty is the foundation that allows you to take risks and build true confidence over time.

• The path to certainty requires self-reflection, accountability, and a commitment to personal growth.

• Surrounding yourself with the right support system is crucial for sustaining your journey.

• I'm so grateful for all the love and prayers from my coaching clients and group members during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in South Carolina.

• While my family and home were spared, I'm deeply saddened by the devastation I've seen in the surrounding communities, especially inwestern North Carolina. Places I love and have made memories in have been destroyed.

• Navigating this physical storm has mirrored my own personal emotional storms, like the major transition I'm going through at work and past experiences of grief and sorrow.

• It's been important for me to allow myself to fully feel the range of emotions - from gratitude to grief - rather than suppressing them. Seeking support and creating moments of joy have been crucial coping strategies.

• I encourage listeners to do the same, whether they're directly impacted or not. Grief and empathy can coexist with gratitude and hope, especially when grounded in our faith.

• There is an ongoing need for aid, volunteering, and community support in the affected areas. I'll be organizing an opportunity for my family to go and help in the coming weeks.

• Above all, I pray listeners will hold fast to resilience, patience, and a deeper relationship with God during life's storms, physical or otherwise. He is our true source of hope.

Hey Sister,

If you're struggling with the habit of over drinking, this episode is for you. I opened my heart and shared my own personal journey of finally breaking free from that cycle of resolve, regret, and disappointment. The truth is, breaking habits isn't just about willpower - it's about understanding yourself, creating new routines, and having the right support. That's why I'm inviting you to join my Support Sisterhood program, launching on September 30th. Over the course of 7 weeks, we'll dive deep into:

• Building a personalized toolkit of coping strategies
• Exploring the emotional drivers behind your habits
• Cultivating a supportive community of women who get it
• Celebrating every small win along the way

This program is designed to give you the tools and accountability you need to finally break the habit for good. And the timing couldn't be better, as we head into the holiday season. If you're ready to make a change, I urge you to sign up today.

Y'all, I am so stinkin' excited to let you know that the Summer Support Sisterhood Group was an absolute hit, and I'm bringing it back for the fall!

This 7-week program is kicking off on September 30th, and we'll be meeting every Monday night at 7pm Eastern (that's 6pm Central for my friends in that time zone). Now, I know some of you lovely ladies are joining us from all over the world, so the timing might be a little different for you, but I promise I've tried to make it as accessible as possible.

Here's the deal - this group is going to be small and intimate, under 10 participants. Why? Because I want to create a safe, personal, and private space for us to really connect, support each other, and dive deep. No judgment, just pure sisterhood. So what are we going to be doing in this group?

We're going to be building our own personal "toolkits" to help us break free from this unhealthy relationship we've got going on with alcohol. I'm talking new routines, stress-busting strategies, commitment-making practices - the whole nine yards, baby.

And it's not just the weekly meetings, either. We're also going to have a private WhatsApp group where we can check in, ask questions, and celebrate our wins together. This is a collaborative community, and I can't wait for you to be a part of it.

Now, I know some of you might be a little nervous about taking this step. Heck, I was nervous too when I first started down this path. But can I just tell you - the transformation I've seen in the women who've gone through this program is nothing short of miraculous.

One of my clients, B, said it best: "I'm finally finding a sense of peace. I'm establishing stronger boundaries with others and myself, and I'm working on understanding the different sides of me." Y'all, that's what I want for you. I want you to feel empowered, to feel at peace, to feel like you're finally in the driver's seat of your own life. And I know that together, we can get you there.

So here's your next step: Email me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com and say I’m Ready! and let me know you're interested in joining the Fall Support Sisterhood Group.

Space is limited, so don't wait! I can't wait to meet you and support you on this journey.
