Have you ever found yourself numbing out just to get through the day? Maybe it’s scrolling endlessly on your phone, pouring that extra glass of wine, or filling your schedule so full that you don’t have time to feel. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the moment I realized that numbing out wasn’t helping—it was only making the noise in my head louder. I’ll share my own journey from using substances to cope to embracing sobriety long before I became a mother. And if you’re a mom who feels stuck in this cycle, I want you to know: there is hope, and you are not alone.

But we’re not stopping there. We’re also unpacking the wisdom of the Proverbs 31 woman—a biblical example of strength, purpose, and faith. What can we learn from her? How can we apply her principles to modern motherhood without feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to be "perfect"? This isn’t about doing more—it’s about stepping into who you were created to be.

If you’re ready to trade self-loathing for self-acceptance, numbness for clarity, and exhaustion for true joy, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ The moment I realized that numbing out wasn’t working—and what I did next

✅ How sobriety is more than just quitting—it’s about reclaiming your peace and purpose
