#518: My Journey With Sobriety

In this episode, I want to talk about sobriety, and not the kind that starts with a rock bottom. The kind that starts with a whisper. A quiet voice inside you that says, what if life was better without this? We explore why the truths we know but refuse to live actually block us from receiving the next level of guidance we need, why quitting drinking is so often less about the alcohol and more about the fear of what other people will think, and why sobriety might just be the most radical act of presence you can choose. Because staying numb is not neutral. It is a choice to stay in the aquarium when the ocean is right there waiting for you. 00:06 – Heeding the "Small Voice" 01:13 – Simple "Life Math" 03:16 – Alchemizing Your Truth 05:05 – Aquarium vs. Ocean 06:21 – Breaking Social Codependency Resources: Need a digital detox?
