Have you ever felt like something was missing from your childhood, even if everything seemed fine on the surface? You’re not alone. Many of us carry wounds from our early years, often rooted in what’s called "mother hunger"—the deep, often unfulfilled need for nurturing, protection, and guidance from our mothers. When those needs aren’t met, it can leave us feeling incomplete, even as adults. I asked Cybele Botran, a Professional Certified Coach, and a Mother Hunger® Trained Facilitator to walk us through the need for protection, nurturance and guidance we all have in childhood and the primary attachment wound that is created when those needs aren't met. She also shares how to take care of our own emotional needs, as adults, in the way a loving parent would, without placing blame on primary caregivers and practical ways to do reparenting and inner child work in the healing process. 4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

What do you want to know about sober travel? I just got back from Provence, where I spent two weeks with 3 sober girlfriends and we’re here to share everything you need to know to plan and enjoy an awesome sober vacation.Provence is a beautiful area of France known for its small hilltop villages, river valleys, markets, food, lavender and wine. All the wine. They’ve made wine for 2,600 years and have over 600 producers in the region.  But don’t let that scare you off! Even in an area famous for alcohol, you can travel alcohol-free and enjoy your trip so much more than you would if you were drinking. On this sober vacation I traveled with 3 girlfriends I met in sobriety. My friend Ingrid and I are both 8 years alcohol-free, Margaret is 7 years alcohol-free and Megan is 5 years sober. The 4 of us all met in sobriety, through various groups and podcasts and retreats and friends and decided to explore a region typically known for wine, alcohol-free and had the most fantastic time together. 4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

How do you get and stay sober when you have a partner or family member who drinks problematically? While quitting drinking can be difficult for everyone, it can be especially difficult if you don’t have the support of your spouse, partner or the closest people in your life. And if someone in your family has a drinking problem that they’re not willing to address or admit to, it can make your home, emotional and social environment a minefield of triggers to navigate.I asked Erinn O’Neill, a health and wellness coach and co-host of the 2 Sober Girls Podcast, to share her experience with Al-Anon and how it can support women if they’re dealing with a partner, family member or friend who is struggling with alcohol. Erinn stopped drinking 5 years ago by going to a 30-Day inpatient rehab program and attending 12-Step Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She also attends Al-Anon. In our conversation Erinn also shares her own experience with going to a 30-Day rehab program and what you might want to consider when evaluating and selecting a rehab if that’s right for you. 4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Did you know that stepping away from your smartphone can help you lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life? These days the devices in our pockets make us constantly connected, always available, overstimulated and interrupted by pings, reminders and vibrations. Our phones have increased the pace, efficiency and convenience of our lives, but studies show they’ve also increased our anxiety, depression, and loneliness.I remember the days before smartphones as a slower and more peaceful time in my life. But I love my phone and it’s the tool I use more than any other.It’s my credit card, address book, alarm clock, meditation app, sleep sounds, encyclopedia, map and dictionary. How did I navigate life without it?I asked Jennie Ketchum-Crooks, an anxiety and OCD specialist, to help me dive deep into the mental health impacts of digital overconsumption and how a digital detox can help us combat anxiety and foster healthier, more meaningful lives.4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

If you're not feeling 100% happy in your life, you might be surprised as to the reasons why. It turns out the "science of happiness" has found that a lot of the things we've been told will make us happy, don't actually bring us joy, contentment and satisfaction.And if you're a woman in midlife you might suspect that's true. We've been taught that if we accomplish and achieve the things on the external "measures of success", then we'll be happy.It might be climbing the corporate ladder, making a certain amount of money, getting married, having kids, buying the house, going on fancy vacations, eating and drinking at nice restaurants or dive bars with your girlfriends or partner, opening a bottle of wine to "relax" and "celebrate", having a perfect and aspirational Instagram feed (or insert your "thing that will make me happy when I finally achieve it" here).What if you're doing all that, you have all the blessings, and you feel overwhelmed, stressed out, dissatisfied, lonely, irritated, resentful or bored?I've asked Dr. Laurie Santos, a Professor of Psychology at Yale University, host of The Happiness Lab podcast and expert on the science of happiness to help us learn practical strategies to cultivate genuine happiness.4 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living MoreJoin The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.
