    Was it even fun anymore?

    This week Ashley & I get honest about the thoughts, fears, and mental gymnastics that came with drinking. Waiting for a reason to stop, hoping something external would make the decision for us, the anxiety after the nights out, and the realization that so much of what we called fun was actually exhausting us. If you've ever wondered why you kept going back even when you knew something felt off, this conversation will probably hit home.

    "How did I get here?" with Wendi

    Wendi and I go there. From “How did I get here?” to actually doing something about it. If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “This isn’t how I thought it would be…” — this episode is for you. Wendi shares her journey through divorce, motherhood, and working as a first responder—all while navigating her relationship with alcohol. We talk about sober dating, identity shifts, and what it really takes to surrender and seek help. Because the truth is..nothing changes if nothing changes, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit something isn’t working anymore.

    It “worked”… until it didn’t with Jaime Andersen

    In this episode, I sit down with Jaime Andersen—founder of Amazingly Alcohol-Free, podcast host, retreat leader, and sober mom. We talk honestly about what our drinking days looked like behind the scenes while raising kids, and how much heavier life felt than we wanted to admit. Jaime shares her experience navigating motherhood, including raising a child on the autism spectrum, walking through miscarriage, and how alcohol quietly weaves itself into all of it. This is a real conversation about what it was like then… and what life feels like now. And on the other side? It’s not perfect—but it’s clear, present, and so much more beautiful than we imagined.
