Welcome to the Set Free Sisterhood Podcast — where we ditch alcohol, heal deeply, and step into our God-given purpose. Hey Sister — let’s get honest. Are you tired of waking up at 3am with your heart racing, your mind spinning, and that pit in your stomach that whispers “What’s wrong with me?” You hide it well. You show up, you smile, you juggle all the things. But behind the scenes, you’re stuck in this cycle: Drink, regret, repeat. And deep down, you know it’s costing you — your peace, your purpose, your joy, and your connection with God. I’m Michelle Porterfield — a faith-fueled, no-nonsense coach who helps Christian women break free from the grip of alcohol, heal what’s underneath it, and create a life they actually want to wake up to. I’ve walked this road. I know the fear, the shame, and the lies the enemy loves to whisper. And I also know the freedom waiting for you on the other side. This podcast is your safe, faith-filled space to get real, do the work, and become the woman God created you to be — bold, healed, and completely set free. If you’re ready, let’s do this.

    364 \\ GLP-1 Medications, Alcohol Cravings, and the Real Work of Healing.

    You may have noticed more conversations around GLP-1 medications lately. And here’s the honest truth: many women are reporting something surprising. The noise is quieter. The cravings aren’t screaming. The constant pull toward alcohol feels… muted. That matters. For women who drank to cope, numb, or survive emotional overload, a quieter brain can feel like relief for the first time in years. But here’s the part we cannot skip. A quiet craving does not equal healing. If alcohol was your way of avoiding emotions, stress, loneliness, resentment, or old wounds, removing the urge doesn’t magically teach you how to live without avoidance. It just creates space. And what you do with that space matters more than anything. This is where therapy, coaching, faith, and nervous system work come in. This is where you learn: how to feel without escaping how to regulate instead of numb how to build a life you don’t need to check out from Tools can help lower the volume, and I’m not anti-tool. But transformation requires participation. If the noise has quieted for you (whether through sobriety, medication, or sheer grit), don’t waste this window. This is the exact kind of work we do inside my coaching and the Collective — not fixing you, not labeling you, but helping you understand why you drank and how to live differently going forward. Freedom isn’t just fewer cravings. Freedom is not needing the escape anymore. If you’re ready to do the deeper work, you know where to find me.

    363 // Why You Feel Numb (and How to Feel Alive Again)

    I want to talk about something that doesn’t get said out loud enough. A lot of women aren’t falling apart… but they’re also not fully alive. They’re functioning. Showing up. Getting things done. But inside? They feel flat. Numb. Stagnant. If that’s you, hear this with love: Numbness isn’t peace. It’s often unprocessed emotion. When we push down grief, disappointment, anger, or hurt, it doesn’t disappear. It gets stored. And over time, your heart stops feeling the lows and the highs. You don’t just numb pain, you numb joy, excitement, connection, and even your sensitivity to God’s leading. That’s what this week’s podcast episode is about. We’re talking about: Why emotional numbness happens The fear many women have about feeling their emotions The lie that emotions will “take you under” And how God designed emotions to move through us, not live trapped inside us Truthfully? Avoiding emotion is often what keeps women stuck, not the emotion itself. And if you’ve been wondering why joy feels far away or your spiritual life feels a little muted… this could be a big clue. If this episode hits home, I want to gently invite you into the Collective. This is a space where women safely learn what’s going on inside of them, with coaching, faith, and real support. You don’t have to overshare. You don’t have to be “a mess.” You don’t have to do it alone. You just have to be willing to grow. There are only a few spots left, and if you’ve been craving more joy, clarity, and alignment with what God has for you, this may be your next step. 👉 Join the Collective here: https://setfreesisterhood.thrivecart.com/set-free-sisterhood-collective/ You weren’t created to live numb. You were created to live alive, connected, and free. I’d love to walk with you in that. Michelle

    362 \\ Sober-Minded Isn’t Boring: The Biblical Power of Living Clear and Awake.

    There’s a word I don’t use very often because, let’s be honest—it sounds boring. Sober. But biblically, sober-minded doesn’t mean dull, restricted, or missing out. It means clear, awake, steady, self-controlled, and grounded in truth. Scripture tells us to be sober-minded and watchful—not because God wants to take something from us, but because clarity gives us access to discernment, peace, and wise decisions. Here’s what I see over and over again with women I work with: We don’t just numb pain—we numb guidance. We numb conviction. We numb connection. Alcohol, busyness, scrolling, over-functioning… they all create noise. And when there’s constant noise, it’s hard to hear God. It’s hard to trust yourself. It’s hard to respond instead of react. A sober mind is a powerful mind. And here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: You don’t sustain this kind of clarity alone. Sober-minded living requires support, truth-telling, and accountability—not labels, not shame, not perfection. That’s exactly why I created the Collective. It’s a space for women who want to live awake, grounded, and aligned—with faith, with their values, and with their lives. If you’re done numbing. If you’re craving clarity. If you want support instead of trying to do this on your own… You can learn more and join us through the link below. Sober-minded isn’t boring. It’s powerful. And it changes everything.

    361 \\ Healing Requires Movement: What Jesus Teaches Us About Freedom From Alcohol.

    This past week, I was reading Mark chapter 3 and something hit me hard. Jesus heals a man with a withered hand—but not the way we often imagine healing. He doesn’t pull him aside. He doesn’t do it quietly. He calls him forward. In front of everyone. And then He asks the man to stretch out the very hand that hasn’t worked in years. The healing didn’t happen while the man stayed hidden. It happened when he moved. And I see this all the time with women and alcohol. We pray. We hope. We ask God to take it away. But Jesus keeps saying, “Come here. Stand up. Stretch.” Grace isn’t passive. Healing requires participation. If you know God is calling you to stop overdrinking, to heal, to grow—but fear, comfort, or perfectionism keeps holding you back—this is your invitation. The Set Free Sisterhood Collective and my coaching are for women who are done hiding and ready to take real action with support. No shame. No labels. Just growth, faith, and forward movement. You don’t have to be ready. You just have to be willing to stretch. 👉 Join the Collective https://setfreesisterhood.thrivecart.com/set-free-sisterhood-collective/

    360 \\ Doing Dry January but Still Struggling? Here’s What’s Really Going On.

    If you’re doing Dry January and quietly thinking, “Why does this still feel so hard?” you’re not alone—and you’re not weak. Here’s the truth most people don’t talk about: Dry January removes the drink. It does not automatically remove the need the drink was meeting. Alcohol wasn’t just something you enjoyed. It was how you: unwound after a long day shut off your brain avoided feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or emotionally flooded So when you take it away, your nervous system is like, “Okay… then what?” That’s why you might be: more irritable emotionally raw restless at night craving relief, not alcohol This isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a habit loop and a nervous system that hasn’t been taught a new way yet. And white-knuckling your way to February won’t fix that. That’s exactly why I created the February Collective. This is not about labeling yourself. It’s not about sharing things you’re not ready to share. And it’s definitely not about perfection. It is about: understanding why your cravings and urges happen learning how to regulate without numbing breaking the cycle instead of repeating it and getting support so you don’t do this alone Dry January ends. But what you’re learning about yourself right now matters. If you’re realizing you want more than just “getting through January,” this is your next step. 👉 Join the February Collective here https://setfreesisterhood.thrivecart.com/set-free-sisterhood-collective/ There are limited spots, and we begin soon. You don’t need more discipline. You need support and tools that actually work. With you, Michelle
