About this episode

Personal growth after quitting drinking can reach far beyond your relationship with alcohol—it can change the way you think, feel, and care for yourself.

In this episode, you’re invited into Ralph Waldo Trine’s 1897 book In Tune With the Infinite and his surprisingly relevant ideas about aging, bodily health, and the connection between our inner lives and our physical experience.

You’ll explore how fear, shame, worry, and chronic stress can affect the body—and, just as importantly, why none of this means you caused an illness or can simply “think” your way out of a health problem. Becca also shares Trine’s simple practice of sitting quietly, breathing, and creating a little space to connect with something deeper within yourself.

This isn’t about pretending everything is fine or chasing perfect health. It’s about giving your body less emotional weight to carry and becoming more aware of how you’re living with yourself.

If you’re curious about the connection between your inner world and your body as you age, settle in and listen.
