– Reflections on One Year of the Sober Mom Life Podcast
It’s a big week! This week we’re celebrating the one year anniversary of The Sober Mom Life podcast.
In this episode, I share what I’ve learned, what we’ve been through, where we go from here, etc. I wanted to start by thanking all of you, who keep coming back to this podcast, sending lovely messages. You are so vulnerable and open to me even if we never met. I hear your stories, and you trust me with them. You leave podcast reviews, sends/share the podcasts to friends, and has grown so much in just a year.
I just cannot thank you enough. You make being vulnerable easy for me. And that’s not a little thing – that’s a BIG thing!
One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that our shame goes away, the more we talk about it.
“The more you say what you are ashamed of, or what you feel ashamed about, the more you say out loud, the less power it has. The less scary it seems, the less shameful it seems.”
In order to do that, in order for me to feel comfortable to do that, I need to feel safe enough to do that, I have to be in the arms of someone who feels safe. And you guys make that possible for me to do.
The first year of the Sober Mom Life podcast has been a beautiful whirlwind of experiences, and starting it felt so much like starting my journey to quit alcohol – the fear, the anxiety, the what ifs, and discovering the path as I go. Today, I’ll detail how I managed my emotions around starting a podcast despite never having used a mic before! Then, we’ll talk about how to navigate the challenging feelings around bringing your sobriety into the light with the people and communities in your life.
I want to thank all of you for giving me this opportunity to create this safe space, for listening to the show, for connecting with me, and for being a part of this wonderful community that we are creating together!
