Summary

Making new friends as an adult is difficult enough, but when you're sober, it adds an extra layer of difficulty. In this episode, we're talking about how to find friends in sobriety with a focus on what's the block from putting yourself out there, what do we have control over, how much armor do we have up, a fear of rejection, and how we can start attracting the right people in our direction. My guest today is a 42 year old woman who lives in the wilds of Northern Michigan. She's a mother of four, an avid runner and outdoor lover who spent four years trying to control alcohol before finally walking away for the last time on October 5th, 2024. She is also a member of the Living a Sober Powered Life Community.

0:00.0	Making new friends as an adult is difficult enough, but when you're sober, it adds an extra
0:06.9	layer of difficulty. In this episode, we're talking about how to find friends in sobriety with a focus
0:14.5	on what's the block from putting ourselves out there, what do we have control over, How much armor do we have up? A fear of rejection.
0:24.5	And how we can start attracting the right people in our direction. This is a new thing that I'm
0:30.3	trying on the podcast. So if you like it, awesome. If people don't like it, then I probably won't
0:36.1	continue doing it.
0:42.6	It's not a formal coaching session because there's only so much that we can do in 20 minutes.
0:52.5	It's more like a clarity call, helping people talk through a roadblock that they're experiencing in their sobriety, in the hope of helping you do the same.
0:55.9	So you'll hear parts of their story. And as you listen, I encourage you to think about how this might apply to your own journey and what you can take away from it.
1:02.3	My guest today is a 42-year-old woman who lives in the wilds of Northern Michigan. She's a mother of
1:09.6	four, an avid runner and outdoor lover who spent four
1:13.7	years trying to control alcohol before finally walking away for the last time on October 5th,
1:20.2	2024. If you're interested in maybe doing a clarity call yourself, then this form goes out in my
1:26.5	weekly email occasionally, so sign up to
1:29.5	get emails for me if you haven't. The link, as always, is in the show notes. And let's get to the
1:35.2	conversation. Life can feel like a full contact sport sometimes, and when we're sober, that can feel
1:42.9	overwhelming. Now the stress and anxiety can
1:45.7	start to build up while we're working on our tools to self-regulate. But it can feel like a lot.
1:51.3	That's why I love Tenasi and the range of products for calm, pain relief, and better sleep.
1:57.0	Each Tenasi product is THC-free, so if you like CBD, you don't have to feel uneasy about your sobriety.
2:03.8	Tanasi is unique because of its CBD-C-BDA formula, which is twice as effective as CBD alone.
2:10.4	Tanasi helps me relax and get to sleep when I'm too stressed or I can't quiet my mind.
