Brooke and I continue our conversation from last week today. We talked about the highs and lows with blood sugar and how that makes us not feel good or causes fatigue as well as depression and anxiety. Breaking the cycle needs to be our priority. We want the part of us that has the value of health and vitality to be in charge.We have more willpower when our blood sugar is in control.  Brooke talks about the use of protein and meal timing to help combat us getting into this situation. As well as preparation is key to combatting these times. This conversation is power-packed with content for healing the gut, inflammation, autoimmune diseases and cravings. Creating balance in the bacteria in the gut helps manage all of this. You can connect with Dr. Brooke Scheller on her website, www.brookescheller.com and on Instagram @drbrookescheller.Be sure to pre-order her book, How To Eat To Change How You Drink. Support the showSupport the showOh, and by the way, if you didn’t know, I have an awesome course called Creating Healthy Boundaries; it's affordable, easy to follow, and will make a big difference in how you feel.

Dr. Brooke Scheller was a heavy drinker for years as she earned a master's degree and a doctorate in the wellness field. She loves to use her functional medicine training to help people solve the “mysteries” of what’s wrong with them. Because of her background in health and wellness, Brooke knew she was living a double life, yet she couldn’t stop.She helps her client focus on “the one thing” of stopping drinking in order to change everything. She shares how just doing this one thing made such a big difference for her and of course for so many others. We talk about creating sustainable success in health by taking baby steps consistently every day to create huge change. We end of this first episode by discussing learning how to manage your blood sugar when it comes to changing your diet when you are alcohol-free. You are less likely to grab a drink when your blood sugar is balanced. We will pick up right there next week.Be sure to listen to the next part as this conversation is packed with so much goodness when it comes to our health.

Sobriety is ONLY the beginning. We do so much work to become alcohol free which is a miracle, but the emotional sobriety comes later.After I got sober in 2002 it became apparent that the biggest challenge I faced in those first few years was my negative thinking patterns. I was stuck in a cycle that had me continuously beating myself up every day. I was sober and of course, I felt a lot better and my life was getting better, because that’s what happens when you stop using substances. But the thought patterns had to be challenged.In this episode I share with you just how I did that and the 5 ways I use to show other women how to do the same.  I also mention the 5-day negative thinking challenge that is in the Guides section of the Confident Sober Women Facebook group. You can access it for free if you are a group member. Go ahead and join now!

Beth Anstandig was a sensitive kid. She realized young that the world had a lot of chaos that she did not understand so she gravitated toward her animals.  They were so different than the humans. We tell stories about how the loneliness of the human experience can feel socially immature, especially for moms. Beth talks about the self-care that is necessary to meet our needs. We first have to recognize what those needs are, and then share those with the people closest to us. This is a direct contrast to the animal world because they are giving their young feedback about how to behave including learning to listen to other people's needs. We overuse the term self-care so often in our society but what we are really talking about are needs. We are no different than pack animals we just think we are and our sophisticated brains allow us to talk ourselves out of our own needs We are not supporting parents the way we should in our society.  We talked about making the choice to take jobs far away from family and community to raise their kids.We can convince ourselves that we don’t have a choice but we do.  Creating a community of support with people who can meet my needs is self-care.   “What are the resources I need to be a mammal in balance."You can reach Beth on her website https://www.thecircleupexperience.com/Check out her amazing book https://www.thecircleupexperience.com/thehumanherdbook/Support the showSupport the showOh, and by the way, if you didn’t know, I have an awesome course called Creating Healthy Boundaries; it's affordable, easy to follow, and will make a big difference in how you feel.

And if you are a survivor your one job is to not repeat it. Your home is like an umbrella. If the home is not safe then you are dealing with things like trafficking, sexual abuse, school bullying, public violence, and addiction. Like Sabrina says, we go towards what we are used to even if it's bad. Osso safe is changing systems, and saving lives. They are working with the real estate industry where safety becomes a required standard of residence.

Gayani is a psychiatrist who specializes in educating parents and teens about addiction specifically about prevention and the author of A Psychiatrist Guide: Stop Teen Addiction Before It Starts.Gayani has had many clients die from addiction, and she recognized the difficulty it takes to get into recovery and the support that is necessary. In doing her research she noticed there was a lot of content about how to treat addiction but felt there was nothing regarding preventing addiction.We talk about the power of EMDR therapy and trauma work which is critical for healing the brain and reducing the desire for people to use substances to escape life. Substances actually stop the development of the brain. Things like marijuana use will stop the brain development and you don’t catch up. You can't get that back. Gayani is a huge promoter of learning how to deal with things like anxiety without the use of highly addictive substances. It is such a big risk. Help them learn to delay their gratification, to self-soothe when they can’t/don’t get what they want, to manage their uncomfortable feelings. They don’t have to satisfy those feelings right away, they can live with it, sit with it, distract themselves etc. They do change and the feelings will go away. www.Drgayani.comSupport the showSupport the showOh, and by the way, if you didn’t know, I have an awesome course called Creating Healthy Boundaries; it's affordable, easy to follow, and will make a big difference in how you feel.

Valier J Walsh is the author of Shattered to the Core, a memoir.  Valerie shares how through a tremendous amount of adversity she was searching for a solution. She tried it all and what she realized was what she needed to reach for was sobriety. Valerie wasn’t an athlete as a young person but now has a health and fitness career. She discovered the beauty around her when she started running and it stuck. She also needed an outlet and physical activity became her thing. We talked about our journeys into the fitness world and its correlation to recovery. Valerie wants movement to be accessible to all people and refers to it as functional training. I love that language. We break down the barriers of our negative thinking patterns and how that helps to make actual sustainable change. Valerie shares that her general philosophy on nutrition is talking yourself through it. Similar to when we were getting sober, thinking it all the way through. So practical.You can find Valerie on her website www.valerijwalsh.com, Facebook group Core Method or on Instagram @valeriejwalsh.Mentioned in the episode:Martin Rooney creator of Training for WarriorsSupport the showSupport the showOh, and by the way, if you didn’t know, I have an awesome course called Creating Healthy Boundaries; it's affordable, easy to follow, and will make a big difference in how you feel.

Jill Haire-Constantini and I are both therapists and entrepreneurs.  We sit down for an intimate look at her terribly unhealthy relationships for years. She got sober, went back to school, and got her divorce and her bachelor’s degree on the same day.Jill had a defining moment while in the midst of a car accident when she heard a voice “Relax on Impact” which later became the title of her book. Sobriety afforded Jill the opportunity to not only reclaim her life but become an author, therapist, and coach.Jill shares the connection she made between her growing-up years and her pattern of unhealthy relationships. She found herself and her other half through extensive trauma therapy and building emotional sobriety.Her entrepreneurial spirit has allowed her to help so many others with her program, to heal their past and build healthy relationships. We shared the process of writing our books and our passion for bringing hope and relatability to as many women as possible.Support the showSupport the showOh, and by the way, if you didn’t know, I have an awesome course called Creating Healthy Boundaries; it's affordable, easy to follow, and will make a big difference in how you feel.

Today, I am thrilled to have my friend Meg Daly as my guest. Meg is a speaker, podcast host, and the founder of the Live More Drink Less 30 Day Reset. She specializes in helping gray area drinkers and empaths discover ways to find more calm in their every day lives.In this episode, Meg shares her personal journey of learning to face her emotions head-on, rather than running away from them. We explore the common compulsion to escape from heavy feelings and emotions through various coping mechanisms, such as alcohol, food, shopping, and sex. Meg emphasizes the importance of allowing emotions to simply "be" - recognizing them, naming them, and letting them pass through.Highlights:Embracing emotions: Why acknowledging and sitting with our emotions, rather than running away from them, is a key component of healing and personal growth.The power of choice: Recognizing our ability to decide how we want to feel and taking charge of our emotional well-being, even in the most difficult circumstances. Change and mourning: Understanding that change is a natural part of life and allowing ourselves to grieve and process the emotions that come with it. Asking ourselves the right questions: Learning to check in with ourselves and determine what we need in the moment to move forward and create a more fulfilling life. Join me for this deeply insightful and empowering conversation as Meg shares her wisdom on navigating emotions, embracing our personal power, and living a more balanced and fulfilling life. Links:https://megkdaly.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/2710231689214768https://megkdaly.com/category/podcast/Support the showSupport the showOh, and by the way, if you didn’t know, I have an awesome course called Creating Healthy Boundaries; it's affordable, easy to follow, and will make a big difference in how you feel.
