  • Ep 154: Why Drinking Didn’t Fix the Pain—and What Finally Did
    Dec 18 2025

    There was a time in my life when I didn’t think I deserved better than what alcohol was doing to me.

    I knew — intellectually — that God loved me.
    But I didn’t love myself.
    And somewhere along the way, I started believing the lie that this mess was mine to clean up alone.

    In this episode, I’m speaking to you the way I speak to a woman sitting across from me in coaching — honestly, gently, and without pressure. We talk about the real battle beneath drinking: the voices in your head, the shame that fuels the urge to numb, and how the enemy works through lies when we’re at our weakest.

    You’ll hear parts of my own story of breaking free from alcohol, how I learned to discern God’s voice from the voice of accusation, and why alcohol often shows up as a “cheap substitute” right when healing is about to happen.

    We talk about:

    • Why drinking often has more to do with shame than willpower
    • How the enemy whispers lies about your identity when you’re most vulnerable
    • The difference between conviction and condemnation
    • Why alcohol promises relief but ultimately deepens the pain
    • What it actually means to “take every thought captive”
    • How learning to reject lies and claim truth changes everything

    This is a conversation about healing, identity, and freedom — not perfection.

    If this episode resonates with you, this is the kind of work we practice together inside the Sacred Sobriety Lab. You’ll find more details in the show notes, along with a special listener discount available through January.

  • Ep 152: 5 Simple Tricks to Stay Alcohol-Free (or Drink Less) During Advent & Christmas
    Dec 4 2025

    The holidays bring joy… but they also bring stress, pressure, old patterns, and sneaky cravings that seem to appear out of nowhere. If you’re trying to drink less (or stay alcohol-free) during Advent and Christmas, you are not alone — and you are not doing anything wrong.

    In this episode, I’m sharing five powerful faith + neuroscience tools to help you stay grounded and intentional this season… even when the emotions, triggers, and holiday chaos hit hard.

    You’ll learn:

    • What’s really happening in your brain during a craving
    • A simple reset technique you can use anywhere, anytime
    • Why the holidays stir up old patterns
    • How to find peace and clarity without relying on alcohol
    • The small shifts that make the biggest difference

    If you want to move through Advent with more calm, more presence, and more confidence in your alcohol-free (or sober-ish) journey, this episode will give you exactly what you need.
