    Anxious Attachment & Alcohol: The Hidden Link No One Talks About

    Hey beautiful Warriors of Love, it’s Mary — and this week’s episode goes deep into something so many of us experience but rarely name out loud. Have you ever noticed that even when you’re usually grounded, there are certain relationships or moments that throw you off balance — where you start overthinking, over-explaining, or trying to control what you can’t? That’s what we’re talking about today. I’m opening up about a recent personal experience that cracked my heart open in new ways — and how even through uncertainty, alcohol never once crossed my mind. I share how my sobriety and the Five Shifts I teach gave me the tools to meet that moment with softness, not shame. You’ll hear how anxious attachment and drinking can feed off each other… and why the real path to peace isn’t about “fixing” anyone else, but coming back to your values, your boundaries, and your truth. This episode is about resilience, emotional maturity, and learning to be with yourself — even when everything feels uncertain. Takeaways: The surprising link between anxious attachment and drinkingHow over-explaining keeps you disconnected from your powerWhy saying “no” can be the most loving thing you doWhat it means to find safety in silence instead of distractionHow to start trusting yourself again — no matter what’s happening around you💬 I’d love to know what resonates most for you — leave a comment or message me on YouTube so we can keep this conversation going. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the full episode on YouTube: 👉 Wild Sobriety — Feminine Freedom Beyond Alcohol Connect With Me On YOU TUBE!

    Why You Should Stop Chasing Solutions

    Calm isn’t just a mood—it’s the baseline your body must return to if you want to break free from the cycle of drinking. When you’re stuck in overwhelm—overthinking, overworking, and over-giving—your nervous system never resets. That constant stress is exactly what makes pouring a glass of wine at the end of the day feel so tempting. Here’s the truth most sobriety methods miss: alcohol was never the problem. It was just your body’s quick fix for a frazzled nervous system. The deeper issue is self-abandonment—constantly outsourcing your energy, trying to hold everything together with willpower, and disconnecting from your feminine wisdom. That’s what fuels the decision fatigue, the mental load, and the endless responsibilities that make you want to check out. The feminine way flips the script. Instead of piling on more rules, tools, and self-improvement hacks, what if you simply learned to generate calm from within? A few small shifts—like softening your breath, feeling the support of your back body, and asking, “How would my Calm Queen respond here?”—create the safety your brain has been chasing in a bottle. ✨ Key Takeaways from this episode: Calm is your true superpower—it dissolves the urge to numb.Alcohol is not the root problem—it’s a nervous system coping mechanism.The feminine way isn’t about doing more, it’s about feeling safe enough to do less.Simple daily practices can rewire your body to choose calm over craving.When you feel safe in your own skin, you don’t need a drink to take the edge off—you have a the CALM codes with in you.  👉 Ready to test this out in real life?
