**Wild Sobriety**

Wild Sobriety is your weekly touchpoint of remembrance — a return to your body, your truth, and your pleasure.
This podcast is for women ready to release alcohol — not because something has gone wrong, but because she feels a deeper whisper asking her to come home.
We go beyond alcohol, removing distortions that keep us stuck, and reclaiming the authentic self beneath over-functioning and people-pleasing. Expect radical reframes, mindful embodiment episodes, short meditations, and conversations that bring you closer to your truth: a woman who is both wild & divine.

Ep #135 Alcohol Exhaustion Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

The conflicting beliefs about alcohol are confusing and EXHAUSTING.
Something you once loved, is revealing its self as no longer useful.
The gap between being a drinker and no longer wanting to, is getting bigger and the conversation is getting louder.
The narrative says if. you can’t hang, you're broken.
So where do you turn?
How can something that is causing you pain be something you still want?
And the answer and solution you seek doesn’t appear to exist yet in the current narrative.
Until now.
I know the way out and it works.
It’s turning what feels like a BOULDER in your life, into a PEBBLE,
and it can happen quickly with the right tools and support.
It’s simply a shift in perspective.
To shift from conflict to clarity.
From pain to ease.
From shame to confidence.
It’s simple and it’s free.
In today's episode we explore WHY you can't seem to rest from this obsessive thinking and how to find peace through self authority, awareness and awakening.

Ep. #134 The ONLY thing you need, to be good at NOT drinking. Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

You don’t need to be a previous version of yourself.

You don’t need to be highly motivate.

You don’t need to be excited about sobriety.

Getting good at not drinking is about how you TALK TO yourself, no matter what decisions you make.
You don’t need a morning routine to quit drinking.

You don’t need to ADD anything to your day.

You don’t need to meditate more, exercise more, journal more.

These things create positive impact, but they aren’t necessary.

All you need to get alcohol out of your way, is to change the way you talk to yourself.

Ep. #132 Client Spotlight: Elevating Abundance, Making Space and Igniting Passion with Amanda Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

Get ready to be inspired! My fun and inspirational client, Amanda started her journey with a year of curiosity listening to the podcast.
Things started shifting for her when she realized there was in fact a new and maybe desirable way to drink less, forever.
Once she gave herself permission to dive into the coaching, it was the SPARK that ignited her passions for life.
The work she did around alcohol was really the door the spiritual deep dive she was longing for in all areas of her life, to align with her true values and bigger purpose.
She very intentionally, day by day, grew her emotional awareness that had been on the back burner, and hidden by alcohol.
She also realized a lot of the reasons she was drinking, weren't actually true for her anymore, she just needed to ask WHY?
Amanda intentionally made the work of unlearning alcohol a priority in her life and she expedited her results because of it.
The impact has opened up possibilities of for deeper connection in her relationships, new career, habits, interests, and more importantly, connection to self and this life.
Amanda's story is your story.
She too thought she would always want to drink, she identified with being a "drinker", and now, a short 6 moths later, it's the furthest thing from what she even thinks about or desires in her day to day.
Amanda, you are a rock star! Thank you for taking the leap to change the narrative and being a trail blazer in the next phase of human liberation through SELF AUTHORITY!
From today's podcast guest and program client, Amanda, speaking to what was "freed up" from the work we did together:
"I think it's two things really, first of all, alcohol was taking up a lot of space in my in my head and it's not that I was you know, constantly craving it by any means it was just I was always negotiating with myself or trying to set rules or thinking about when I

Ep. #131 Peek Inside: Why I Am Starting The Stop Drinking & Start Living Program Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

The narrative of what you think it means to drink or not drink is one of the biggest things keeping you stuck in your relationship to alcohol.
What I want you to know, is it's all made up and you get to decide from your brain what BELIEFS you want to keep and which one's are no longer useful.
Today on the podcast, I talk about why I am starting the stop drinking and stop living program. (YAY!!!)
You are still evolving, is it important that you have access to new structures, beliefs and paradigms in our culture that are relevant and up to date with your needs.
Mental health, self development, coaching, spiritual connection and the desire to change one's relationship to alcohol are quickly becoming necessities to have access to for all people.
Not because the person has the "problem", but because alcohol is no longer useful and is taking up more thought time than it needs.
This program is designed to support internal Innovation so you can begin to recognize your WHOLENESS, vs the need to fill a hole with anything outside of yourself.
This is what ultimately reduces your desire to drink.
Find out how you can blaze the trail of the next phase of human evolution and show up unapologetically ready to rock being YOU more fully.
Let's GO!

Show notes

If you have been on the fence at all about joining the program, you DO NOT want to miss today's episode on the podcast.
I interview my super fun and ambitious client, Laura Jelinek.
It's PACKED with wisdom and next steps for you and your journey.
Though the process of coaching Laura speaks to how she put alcohol in it's place and is keeping it there:
💖Turning resistance into curiosity through embracing the feminine, being part of life. That in our modern world we are simply not taught to FEEL, but it's the door way to EVOLUTION.
💖How new beliefs take time to create.
💖Why moderation takes up more time and energy than not drinking.
💖The freedom of clarity of mind and SPACE after alcohol.
💖What it mean to take it down to the STUDS of your beliefs around alcohol.
💖What is possible for her CARPE DIEM mentality now that alcohol is out of her way.
💖How the answers you seek are truly inside.
💖Where she is now continues to allow alcohol to be " such an easy trade from this vantage point".
YES!!!! This is possible for you too. Thank you Laura for your bravery and curiosity. We can't wait to see more of you magic in this world. xxoo, Mary

Ep. # 129 Learning A New Way, Step 10 Of 10 Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

Your attention span is your advantage to success.
Learning takes time to get you from where you are to where you want to go
vs. jumping around from one thing to the next because it "didn't work."
Anything will work if you work it and give it time, anything.
Circumstances don't create your outcome, your thoughts do.
Where are your thoughts?
They are on an "easier" way.
A way that's not the one in front of you.
Don't get sucked in.
Pick ONE distention and put your blinders on.
Don't stop until you get there.
Eliminating your desire for alcohol, getting it out of your way and being free of the burdens of alcohol is no different.
This episode is the first break down of how the Stop Drinking and Start Living Program will meet you ever step of the way on your learning journey.
In the Stop Drinking and Start Living Program you will gain all the Clarity, Confidence and Commitment you need to be successful.
I break down:
-Why you need to give yourself time.

-How the stop drinking and start living program overcomes all of your objections and fears.
-why you already have what it takes to be successful.
-how the tools and process you learn in the program can be applied to every other area of life.
-why the stop drinking & start living program is the last time you will ever start the process of stoping.

Ep. #128 Step 9 of 10 Love & Abundance vs. Fear & Scarcity Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

The energy of emotions fueling your decision has a bigger impact on the result than the decision itself. We make decisions for two reasons: to move towards pain or away from pleasure. This is why it is challenging to change your relationship to alcohol because it does both of those things at the same time.
What we water grows.
Where you place your attention, energy flows.
Today we grow awareness around the place in your mind where you are making decisions from. Love and abundance or fear and scarcity.
It's a powerful facet to awaken to that will have a huge impact on how your move through circumstances you would have drank in in the past. This is how you want to set yourself up for success to plan ahead of time so the mind you bring with you is one of POSSIBILITY vs. PRACTICALITY.
This is how you get new results.
