    Ep 66 - How Going Alcohol-Free Can Help You Find Your Purpose

    30/07/2026 | 19 mins.
    If you've been wondering how to find more purpose after quitting alcohol, you're not alone.

    Many women discover that once they stop drinking or even begin questioning their relationship with alcohol they start asking deeper questions about who they are, what they truly want, and how they want to spend their life.

    In this episode of the Soulful and Sober Podcast, I share why purpose isn't something you have to figure out overnight. Instead, it's something you uncover as you become more present, build self-trust, and start living in alignment with what truly matters.

    We discuss:

    * Why quitting alcohol often opens the door to a more meaningful life
    * How to stop putting pressure on yourself to "find your purpose"
    * The connection between sobriety, self-discovery, and personal growth
    * How your nervous system influences clarity and decision-making
    * Why fear and limiting beliefs keep you stuck
    * Practical ways to reconnect with yourself and take the next right step
    * How your healing journey can become part of your purpose

    Whether you're sober curious, taking a break from alcohol, or have been alcohol-free for years, this episode will help you stop chasing the perfect plan and start creating a life that feels authentic, peaceful, and deeply fulfilling.

    Ep 65 - Why You’re Afraid to Quit Drinking (Even When You Want To)

    23/07/2026 | 14 mins.
    What do you think Why does the thought of never drinking again feel so scary, even when you know you’re tired of the cycle?

    In this episode of Soulful and Sober, I’m answering a question so many women struggle with: Why am I afraid to quit drinking if I know I want to be healthier and feel better?

    The truth is, the fear often isn’t about alcohol itself. It’s about what you believe alcohol gives you: relaxation, fun, connection, stress relief, confidence, or a way to let loose.

    We’re talking about why “forever” can feel so overwhelming, the deeper fears that can come up when you change your relationship with alcohol, and why you don’t have to have this entire journey figured out today.

    If you’re sober curious, taking breaks, trying to moderate, or questioning your relationship with alcohol, this episode will help you look at the fear differently and start asking a more powerful question: What could I gain if alcohol was no longer in the equation?

    Ep 64 - The Power of Intuition: How to Stop Doubting Yourself

    08/07/2026 | 51 mins.
    Have you ever had a quiet feeling that something in your life needed to change... but talked yourself out of it?

    In this episode of Soulful & Sober, I'm joined by intuition coach Heather Alice Shea for a powerful conversation about learning to trust yourself, quiet the outside noise, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

    We dive into what intuition really is (and what it isn't), why so many women struggle to trust themselves, and how alcohol, overwhelm, fear, and constant busyness can disconnect us from our authentic voice.

    We also talk about:
    * How to tell the difference between intuition, fear, and overthinking
    * Why your intuition often tells you things you don't want to hear but need to
    * The connection between emotions, the nervous system, and intuitive guidance
    * Simple practices to strengthen your intuition without spending hours meditating
    * Why slowing down, walking, journaling, and learning to feel your emotions can completely change your life
    * How intuition plays a role in healing your relationship with alcohol and creating lasting transformation

    If you've ever questioned yourself, ignored those quiet nudges, or wondered if there's something more waiting for you on the other side of alcohol, this episode is for you.
