“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Maya Angelou

We are pulling the reigns on Sober Freedom Sisterhood.

What?!?!

Yes, what I’ve experienced in my sober freedom journey is it’s always best to recognize and honor when something is not jiving. I learned from being badly beaten, bankrupt, and my spirit feeling nearly broken to never hold on to something just to save face or just because I have put an extraordinary amount of time and effort into a project or relationship.

I’m listening to my inner wisdom.

Now, with that said, the membership is not going away. I’m refining it and possibly redefining it. I listened to the early members, and I heard YOU! Some of you were fine the way it was, while another was ready to move on. And that’s perfect!

When you know in your gut something needs to change – listen! Regardless of what others may think or say.

Of course, we all hope that out of the gate, everything will be fabulous. There’s no reason to believe it couldn’t be. There’s nothing more that I want than for you to plug in and start shifting your thoughts, energy, and intentions.

But just as I remind every woman I talk to or work with about not accepting “what everybody thinks or does” because they are not you and don’t possess your You-ness...we don’t know what we don’t know until we explore and experiment. Life is about enjoying the experience of the process, not just what develops.

It’s never too late to change... your mind, your path, your habits, your life.

I learned SO much and am excited about the FREE Christmas gift available to everyone interested in learning more.

Thank you to all of you who supported the first rendition membership, and I love you for your patience, kindness, and feedback. I would not be able to do better without knowing how to do better.

Of course, there are life lessons from this experience.

Change, pivot, a shift is always an option.  No matter how far we’ve gone, how old we are, how long we have carried a belief, we can make a course correction and become the woman of our dreams with Time, Intention, and Practice.

Don’t be afraid to fail. How can we learn and grow if we are unwilling to try? Smile 😊 collect your wisdom, and keep moving forward.

Ask for feedback from the ones you love. They know you best, and you may be surprised that they think you are pretty spectacular and can offer insight into how you could be even better.

Offering Sober Freedom through

Alcohol Autonomy

Following is my takeaway from the first two chapters that I posted in the book study forum for Pink Cloud Coaching membership

Mindset by Carol Dweck

What is your mindset around alcohol?

I chose this book because it’s essential to understand the difference between fixed and growth mindsets. Carol Dweck has done extensive research, and although it’s not specific around alcohol, that’s how I learned my way to sober freedom. I didn’t follow the traditional path. It wasn’t a good fit for me, and I would have ended up drunk. I couldn’t adapt to the belief system that I was told to accept. I felt like I was not in charge of myself.

How many people do you think delay the process of living in sober freedom, finding a new way of experiencing life without alcohol, or learning to experience alcohol differently because they believe it’s all or nothing?

How many believe there is only one way to think about alcohol or see themselves with alcohol?

Following are questions I address in the full summary. Click here to go to the article.

Are you a learner or a nonlearner?
