• Building Your Power Pattern

  🎙 Episode 4 – Building Your Power Pattern: Creating the House You Want to Live In A Tribe Sober × Lynette Le Roux Mini-Series — “Becoming the Butterfly” Music: “Remember” by Sutherland |   🦋 Episode Summary In this fourth episode of Becoming the Butterfly, Lynette returns from the Tribe Sober 10-year celebration in Bali, filled with gratitude, inspiration, and connection. She reflects on Triber Sober members sharing their own Power Pattern—a personal mantra or energetic blueprint that helps hold them steady when life feels hard. From “Too blessed to be stressed” to “There’s only ever one Day One,” to “Choose your hard”, these mantras became the foundation for a deeper teaching about how to rebuild the inner home of the mind. Drawing on the work of Dr. Julia DiGangi, Lynette explains how the brain predicts safety through familiar patterns—and how recovery means gently interrupting the old sequence (“long day → wine → regret”) and installing a new one (“long day → breathe → rest → peace”). Through simple, sensory Power Actions, Lynette invites you to build your own Power Pattern—your new emotional house filled with light, space, and freedom.   ✨ In This Episode A heartfelt reflection from Bali Why your brain keeps choosing “apple, apple, apple” — and how to switch it to “apple, apple, pineapple” The “house you live in” metaphor for rebuilding your inner world How to design your Power Pattern — a mantra that feels like home in your body Everyday examples of replacing old alcohol cues with new rituals Why repetition redecorates the brain — and how to make calm your new familiar Journal prompts to help you create your own Power Pattern 🪶 Listener Reflection Prompts 1️⃣ What pattern feels most familiar after a long day? 2️⃣ What new pattern would feel like home in my body? 3️⃣ What sentence helps me remember who I am when life feels hard? 4️⃣ Complete: “I am the butterfly emerging, and freedom is my beautiful name because…”   💡 Takeaway Quote “Your Power Pattern is the house you live in. Build it with intention, fill it with peace, and you’ll never want to move back into the old one again.”   💌 Invitation 2026 is around the corner, and if you want to start the new year feeling fabulous, join Lynette and Janet for the free Tribe Sober Webinar on 16 November. They’ll introduce the brand-new six-week Accelerate Program — designed to help you build momentum, confidence, and joy as you keep growing your wings. 👉 For more info, visit www.tribesober.com or email [email protected].

• Episode 3 - Breaking the Sound Barrier : Living at the Edge

  Episode 3 — Breaking the Sound Barrier: Living at the Edge A Tribe Sober × Lynette Le Roux mini-series Music: “Remember” by Sutherland  |  Length: ≈ 18 min   🦋 Episode Summary Recorded on the morning Lynette set off for Bali to co-host Tribe Sober’s 10-year celebration, this episode explores how every real transformation passes through turbulence.  From Brooke Castillo’s “currency of growth” to Phil Stutz’s “doorway of pain,” from Julia DiGangi’s edge of emotional power to the Positive Intelligence truth that we need to grow our mental six pack—each teacher reveals that the edge is not our enemy. Through her personal story of “surfing the urge,” Lynette shows how to stop taking the edge off and instead expand your edge—to move through fear like Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier and to emerge, like the butterfly, into calm air and new freedom.   ✨ What You’ll Learn Why discomfort is the currency of growth How to use Phil Stutz’s Reversal of Desire—“Bring it on”—to walk through pain now, not later How Julia DiGangi’s Edge of Emotional Power expands your capacity for energy and balance How Positive Intelligence helps you grow your mental six pack The Three F’s practice: Feel it → Feed it → Focus forward The dramatic true story of Chuck Yeager’s sonic-boom breakthrough as a metaphor for personal freedom How to turn the thought “I need to take the edge off” into “I’m expanding my edge and growing my wings.” 🧭 Reflection & Practice Try this: 1️⃣ Pause before the old habit or coping behaviour. 2️⃣ Breathe and whisper, “This is the edge.” 3️⃣ Feel it. Feed it. Focus forward. 4️⃣ Repeat the thought: I’m expanding my edge. I’m growing my wings.   Journal Prompts: Where am I trying to take the edge off instead of listening to what the edge wants to teach me? Dear Edge (or Dear Urge), what would you have me know?

• I'm Sober Now What with Lynette le Roux

  My guest this week is a very special member of our Tribe Sober Team I first met Lynette LeRoux when she came to one of our workshops more than 8 years ago She was in a dark place back then but the workshop was the catalyst she needed to change everything Lynette has been transforming and enriching her life for the last 8 years – she’s found her passion and qualified as a Coach and for the last 3 years she has been working for Tribe Sober as a Coach In this episode Lynette first tasted alcohol at the tender age of 9 – she’d got hold of some tiny bottles of whisky and brandy which she kept near her bed.  She would take a sip when she went to bed as it comforted her Going off to boarding school at the age of 5 left her with lingering feelings of isolation – a feeling that those little sips chased away. As she reflects back she realises it was a way to feel nurtured and held She didn’t drink much in her teens but in her 20’s she met a guy who loved his whisky and she began to drink regularly Lynette had never really felt comfortable in her own skin so alcohol helped her to socialise Her relationship deteriorated due to her partners drunken rages and he left her when she was pregnant She coped well over the next few years and began to develop her career The usual after work drinks culture prevailed and Lynette fell back into her old patterns She would drink excessively at the weekends as well as after work sometimes Like many of us she would resolve to stop or cut down but nothing really changed Then she met her current husband who hardly drinks at all He thought she drank too much so she tried hard to make a change She managed some sober stretches but as she got into her 40’s the alcohol came back into her life Even though she was drinking Lynette tried a lot self development programs during this period Looking back she realises that she never tried to integrate her learnings into her daily life If we don’t apply the learnings then the courses are really a waste of time and nothing will change As she moved into her 50’s Lynette became more dependent on alcohol She felt she was losing connection with her husband and her friends Always looking for the quick fix she decided to study plant medicine As part of Lynette’s ongoing odyssey for a quick cure for her problems she came across our one day workshop She attended the workshop but true to form she never really engaged After the workshop she didn’t apply the tools or connect via the chatgroups So nothing really changed and three months after the workshop she hit her rock bottom Driving to work and struggling with an awful hangover she had a “not this” moment Followed by a “if not this then what?” moment Out of desperation she looked at her Tribe Sober workshop notes and decided to reconnect Lynette went to the coffee meetup and engaged on the WhatsApp group After reading other peoples messages for a while she decided to reach out She posted a message that she felt really low Another member explained that she felt that way because her brain was recalibrating and healing This really resonated with Lynette and became her mantra She began to study coaching and started to see that a different way of life was possible As Lynette has been coached herself and has coached many people I asked her to explain why coaching is so valuable She explained that coaching helps us to get perspective on our life and our mind Coaching enables a growth mindset as we move towards our future self We talked about the benefits she has gained from 5 years of sobriety The biggest benefit for Lynette was reconnecting with herself and then developing her passion for coaching She’s learned so much about her beautiful brain and she’s learned how to feel She’s learned that emotional pain is a sign of growth and she must learn to get comfortable with being uncomfortable That's a lesson she’s taught us all here at Tribe Sober We agreed that there is so much more to recovery than “not drinking” As Lynette said tha's just 10% of the work – and we will never thrive in sobriety if we don’t tackle the other 90% We talked about anhedonia which is the low mood that sometimes hits us in early sobriety For more on dealing anhedonia check out Lynette’s video on our you tube channel and the Tribe Sober podcast interview with Dr Loretta Breuning, episode 55 on Apple Podcasts We talked about the Path to Purpose which is Lynette's membership program We discussed the synergy between Tribe Sober and Path to Purpose memberships and our plans to bring them closer More Info MASTERCLASS with Ann Dowsett Johnston in Cape Town on 9th November For more info click HERE   Tribe Sober subscription membership – you can join up HERE.
