About this episode

Sobriety and self discovery begin when you question the stories you've been telling yourself about who you are and what you're worth. If you've ever felt ashamed of your drinking, wondered what's wrong with you, or believed you're somehow less worthy than other people, this conversation is for you, my dear.

Becca gets personal about the painful beliefs she carried from her own past, including addiction, isolation, and hiding her drinking. She knows how easily those experiences can become an identity you mistake for the truth.

But what if those harsh inner voices are the real lies? And what if you could intentionally choose a different story?

In this snippet, you'll explore how affirmations, imagination, and a little willingness can help you begin changing your internal narrative. Becca offers a simple practice: choose one or two statements that make your heart sing, even if they feel impossible right now. Imagine what it would feel like if they were true, and gently redirect yourself when the old voice pipes up. (It can have a seat. It doesn't need the microphone.)

You don't have to force yourself into sobriety through shame or willpower. You can begin by believing that a different life is possible.

Take a breath, open your mind a little, and listen in.
