I’ve been thinking about where in my life I’ve accepted “less” than I deserve—whether out of fear, habit, or comfort. And I've noticed that when I stop settling, is when I start rising.

I used to think my emotions were endless… turns out, they only last 90 seconds unless I keep the story alive

We talk about how emotions work, why we hold onto them longer than we need to, and how to let them pass

I used to think my story was just mine to carry. Now I know it can be a guidebook for someone else walking a similar path

Sharing your story — even the messy, imperfect parts — can be the spark of hope someone else needs

I used to think if I just shut out shame, I’d be stronger. But the truth is, when we block the hard stuff, we block the good stuff too — including joy.

I’ve learned the hard way: we can’t love who we are if we’re still hating the story that shaped us

This week on Sisters in Sobriety, we sit down to talk about what it means to embrace every chapter

🌱 The forest begins with one seed.
For me, that seed was choosing to say no to alcohol—just once, just that day. One seed turned into roots, then branches, and now a whole new life is growing. 🌳

finally having all the sex and your body just won't cooperate. It feels like the universe is playing a cruel joke.

Is intimacy supposed to fade with age? @taboototruth shares, more connection can actually spark more desire — and sometimes midlife is when relationships get their boldest.

Talking about boundaries before sex doesn't kill the mood — it actually creates more confidence and connection.

Isn't sex after mdlife supposed to slow down? Talking with @taboototruth reminded me that we don’t have to stick to outdated scripts about our bodies, our desires, or what intimacy “should” look like

I can feel the growth lately — and it’s the best reminder that the hope I held onto was never wasted. 🌱 Looking back, I see the proof. The small steps added up.

If you’re in that in-between space, keep going.

If they can’t take accountability, that’s on them — not you.

Jessica Miller talks about standing firm after you set a boundary.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve set a boundary and immediately thought, “Did I just ruin everything?” 🙈

But I'm learning - I don’t need permission to protect my peace — period. ✋

I didn’t realize how much resentment was poisoning my relationships until I started setting boundaries. 💡 I noticed that I wasn’t silently keeping score anymore — I actually felt peace again.

I used to think guilt was the worst feeling in the world — but resentment is the one that will eat you alive. 🙃

Some days, change feels exciting. Other days, it feels like my whole life is being rearranged without my permission.

I used to think being sober meant I’d lose my edge, but what if it just made me bolder? @kristenmcguiness joins us to talk about trusting your gut, going after what (or who) you want, and living life unapologetically

This week has been a lot. There were moments I wondered how so many things could go wrong at once.

But maybe these challenges aren’t here to break me, but to show me a strength I haven’t met yet.

Love this conversation with Carleigh. Sometimes the “sparks flying” feeling isn’t the green flag we think it is. 💡

Taylor @embodiedsexualwellness explained something that really stuck with me: solo sex isn’t just about going from point A to point B. 🚦

Getting close to someone always comes with risk. The scary part is putting yourself out there. The beautiful part is that that is where real intimacy lives.

I believed intimacy was mostly physical—but in sobriety, I’ve realized it’s really built on trust. Vulnerability can feel scary, but it’s also where the magic of connection shows up.

Anxiety isn’t proof that you’re weak—it reminds you that you’re human. Instead of pushing through or pretending it isn’t there, what if you treated your anxious moments as a call for softness?

Throwback to our convo with Dr. Sharon —a reminder that not all stress is bad stress. Good stress can strengthen our bodies, sharpen our minds, and teach us how to rise instead of retreat.
