You’re disciplined, successful, and in control of every aspect of your world… except this one. No matter how hard you try, drinking keeps slipping through your fingers. Why? And more importantly—what can you do about it? In this episode, I break down the real reason willpower alone doesn’t work in sobriety and what actually does. We’ll talk about the science behind cravings, why you feel out of control, and the exact steps you can take to start rewiring your brain for a sober life that feels empowering, not restrictive.

Hello! It's Gen, and I'd love to hear from you. Click here & send me a text :) Navigating difficult conversations is something we all face—whether in sobriety or everyday life. In this episode, we explore how to handle challenging interactions with grace, clarity, and confidence, even when the other person is resistant to change. I share a recent experience that reminded me of my own mindset before sobriety—when I wasn’t ready to listen and resisted help from others. Drawing parallels between that time and now, I discuss the importance of preparation, emotional grounding, and letting go of the need to control others’ reactions. Through tools like meditation, journaling, EFT tapping, and seeking support, I prepared myself for a tough conversation that ultimately didn’t go as planned. And that’s okay. The lesson here is about focusing on your own growth, letting people be who they are, and redirecting your energy to what truly matters: your peace and progress. If you’re a high-achieving woman navigating recovery or life’s complexities, this episode will inspire you to approach difficult moments with strength and grace. Let go of control, do the inner work, and show up as your best self—because that’s where true power lies.

Hello! It's Gen, and I'd love to hear from you. Click here & send me a text :) This past year has been one of the most challenging of my life. Since losing my dear friend Sarah, I’ve been on a journey of grief that’s shown up in ways I never could’ve anticipated. In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing what this past year has looked like—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. This episode is about the lessons I’ve learned on navigating loss, and the steps I’ve taken to stay sober through it all. I’ll talk about how grief has appeared unexpectedly, not just in the big moments like holidays but in the small, everyday routines that reminded me of Sarah. I’ll open up about how I’ve leaned on my support network, including my sober supports and professional help, to stay grounded and keep moving forward. I’ll also share some of the health struggles I’ve faced over the year and how, as the weight of grief began to lift, so did some of those physical challenges. You’ll hear about the importance of a close family circle during this time and how I walked my children through grief while processing my own. And in the midst of it all, we even formed some new friendships, which brought a fresh sense of connection and hope into our lives. This episode is a vulnerable one, but I believe that by sharing this experience, we can remind each other that it’s okay to lean on others, to feel our feelings fully, and to find light even in the hardest times. Whether you’re in the midst of your own grief, navigating sobriety, or just here to listen, I hope this conversation can offer you a sense of connection and strength on your own path.

Hello! It's Gen, and I'd love to hear from you. Click here & send me a text :) Perfectionism can feel like a double-edged sword, especially for high-achieving women in recovery. On one hand, it’s what drives you to succeed and push the limits of your potential. But on the other, it’s a constant inner critic that whispers, “You’re not enough,” leaving you exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected. In this episode, we uncover why perfectionism is more of a hindrance than a help—both in sobriety and in your professional life. We’ll explore how striving to be flawless actually stunts growth, increases stress, and even elevates the risk of relapse. By redefining imperfection as a source of strength and authenticity, you can free yourself from the impossible standards that keep you stuck. Join me as I share insights, real-life stories, and powerful strategies to start embracing imperfection. You’ll walk away feeling inspired and equipped to let go of the myth of perfection and embrace your beautifully imperfect self—both in recovery and at work. Perfect is an illusion.

Take which you please - you can never have both. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Denial is sneaky and hard to detect. Like a chameleon, a denied reality tends to change color until it blends right in and seems to fit. Since we don't have to deal with what we don't see, we camouflage some truths that we're afraid will hurt or challenge us. Some of us deny that anyone else ever lived in a family as dysfunctional as ours, or that our families were dysfunctional at all. Others insist only their siblings were affected, or only themselves. We may tell ourselves we're deliberating when we're really procrastinating. The varieties of self-deception are almost limitless. Our talent for denial is an important reason for making friends in the program. We need people we can trust enough to tell us the truth - loving people who will say what needs to be said, even if it's uncomfortable at first to hear. I recognize my need for honest feedback. I'm less afraid of openness than I used to be.” -Todays Gift from Hazelton From the meditation boo
