    Colette Baron-Reid: Sobriety, Surrender, and the Art of Manifesting

    Sobriety didn’t just save Colette Baron-Reid’s life - it opened the door to the creative force behind 19 oracle decks, 8 books, and a whole new way of manifesting. If you’ve ever wondered how healing, intuition, and art can literally rewire your brain, this conversation will change the way you think about recovery and possibility. Colette joins Megan for a raw, expansive conversation about what it took to get sober, what it means to rebuild a life from the ground up, and why the path to manifestation is less about control and more about surrender. She shares the early experiences that shaped her, the hard-won lessons of recovery, and the spiritual awakening that began with a single quiet moment and a tree. You’ll discover: Why creativity can act as a tool for building new neural pathwaysHow doodling, symbols, and elevated emotion connect to manifestationThe difference between chasing an outcome and becoming the person who can receive itWhy gratitude and surrender matter more than forcing certaintyHow recovery created the conditions for Colette’s art, music, and intuitive work to emerge Megan and Colette also dig into the emotional reality of addiction, the “big ego and inferiority complex” Carl Jung observed in alcoholics, and why sobriety can reveal both the people and the patterns that are no longer for you. Their conversation goes deep into the difference between being dry and being truly sober, and why inner work, amends, and self-reflection are essential if you want a life that actually feels like yours. Colette Baron-Reid is the author of The Art of Manifesting, a longtime spiritual teacher, and an artist whose work bridges intuition, neuroscience, and creativity. Her new album, My Dark Church, is also part of that same fearless return to self. Essential listening if you’re sober-curious, in recovery, or standing at the edge of your own next chapter and need proof that it is never too late to begin again.

    Codependency, Sobriety, and Choosing Yourself with Deborah Santana

    After seven months away from the mic, Megan is back with a guest who matches the moment. Deborah Santana is the daughter of a pioneering interracial couple, jazz musician Saunders King and Jo Frances King, and she spent thirty four years as the wife of music legend Carlos Santana, raising their three children and helping run Santana Management from the inside. In this conversation, Deborah and Megan talk about what happens when the roles we build our identity around, wife, mother, caretaker, even drinker, start to fall away, and who we find underneath them. They dig into codependency, boundaries, meditation as a daily practice, the slow and sometimes decades long process of walking away from alcohol, and what it looks like to keep growing and reinventing yourself well into your seventies. Deborah also shares the story behind the "How to Walk Through Fire" section of her new memoir, a guide she wrote for anyone standing in the middle of their own flames trying to decide which way to go.

She left behind a marketing career and pursued her true calling, earning her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor over a decade ago. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ How sobriety creates clarity and opens doors to purpose✨ Navigating identity shifts after quitting drinking✨ Career changes and major life transitions✨ What it means to design a life around your values✨ Moving beyond survival and into a life that feels meaningful and grounded Nisha began her clinical work as a DBT therapist and has since expanded her approach to include hypnotherapy, brainspotting, and Life Design & Transition Coaching.

Her work helps clients anchor into their core values while stepping into new chapters with clarity, intention, and confidence. Through counseling, coaching, workshops, and speaking, Nisha blends evidence-based therapy with creativity and compassion to help people move beyond survival and into lives that feel meaningful, grounded, and fully lived.

    Episode 55: Logan hits 3 years SOBER- Pilates, Mocktails and a Dry December

    In this empowering new episode, Megan sits down with Logan Hutt, a long-time SobahSistahs community member and dedicated Pilates instructor, whose alcohol-free journey began with our Dry December Group Coaching Program. At the moment of recording, Logan was celebrating her 3-year sober birthday — that very day. Logan’s evolution over the past three years is nothing short of extraordinary. After spending nearly 20 years struggling with alcohol, she shares how sobriety helped her reconnect with her mind, body, and identity — both personally and professionally. Her story is filled with clarity, growth, and the kind of truth that inspires women everywhere who are questioning their own relationship with alcohol. In this episode, Logan reflects on the turning point that brought her into the SobahSistahs community and how she has remained sober for three years without a single relapse. She opens up about the fear she once had of being alone with her thoughts — and the powerful realization that, without alcohol, her mind is not the dark or chaotic place she once believed it was. As a Pilates instructor who teaches women to connect with their bodies, Logan explains how sobriety has amplified her personal alignment, emotional stability, and sense of purpose. She speaks about the freedom she’s discovered after dedicating decades to drinking and how she now sees the idea of ever going back as pure insanity. Her insight is real, relatable, and deeply moving — especially for anyone who is still in the early stages of rebuilding trust in themselves.
