  Episode 34: Alcohol-Free But Still Having Hard Days? Tiny Shifts That Change Everything

  Jul 7, 202616 min

  Summary: You quit drinking, so why don't you feel amazing every single day? If you've ever wondered why you're still having hard days, low-motivation days, anxious days, or emotional days—even after removing alcohol—you are not doing sobriety wrong. The truth is that becoming alcohol-free doesn't exempt us from being human. We still experience stress, grief, loneliness, hormonal shifts, overwhelm, and seasons of low energy. The difference is that we no longer have to numb our way through them. In this episode, Coach Carolyn shares the gentle "microshifts" that have become anchors in her own alcohol-free life and the daily practices that help support her nervous system, raise her vibration, and keep her connected to herself, her faith, and what matters most. If you've been feeling discouraged because sobriety isn't all sunshine and roses right now, this episode is your reminder that hard days happen—and that tiny acts of self-care can make all the difference. In This Episode, We Discuss: ✨ Why alcohol-free life doesn't guarantee constant happiness ✨ The difference between emotional sobriety and simply not drinking ✨ Why hard days are often nervous system days ✨ How alcohol promises relief but often postpones healing ✨ The power of asking, "What do I need right now?" ✨ Tiny practices that help us care for ourselves instead of abandoning ourselves Carolyn's Favorite Microshifts: ☀️ Morning sunlight in your eyes to support mood and circadian rhythm 💧 Hydrating first thing in the morning with warm lemon water 🚶‍♀️ Gentle movement and exercise 📝 Gratitude journaling focused on the last 24 hours 📖 Devotional reading and connecting with God 🙏 Prayer and meditation ❤️ Tapping (EFT) for stress and overwhelm 🧘‍♀️ Yoga and breathwork 🐦 Spending time in nature and listening to birdsong A Few Reminders from This Episode: Feelings are not emergencies. You don't need to feel amazing every day to be healing. Hard days don't mean you're failing. Tiny shifts create meaningful change. Peace isn't the absence of hard feelings—it's learning to walk through them differently. Favorite Quote from This Episode: "I don't need to feel amazing today. I simply need to care for myself well enough that I don't abandon myself today."

  Jun 9, 202631 minS1

  What happens when alcohol slowly disconnects you from yourself… and from God? In this heartfelt episode of The Zero Proof Life Podcast, Becca sits down with Carolyn Bennett — co-founder of The Zero Proof Life, certified This Naked Mind Coach, Ecotherapy Practitioner, and creator of the Sips of Serenity devotional — for a deeply honest conversation about faith, healing, identity, and what it means to truly “thaw out” emotionally after alcohol. Carolyn shares her personal story of feeling spiritually disconnected during her drinking years, how fear and shame fueled her relationship with alcohol, and how reconnecting with God, nature, and her body became an essential part of her healing journey. Together, they explore: How alcohol disconnects women spiritually, emotionally, and physically Why so many women feel “numbed out” or detached from themselves The concept of “thawing out” emotionally in alcohol-free living Learning to sit with discomfort instead of escaping it The connection between faith, nervous system healing, and recovery Nature, intuition, and hearing the “still small voice” again Shame, self-worth, and remembering that you are not broken Carolyn’s inspiration behind her devotional Sips of Serenity How science and scripture beautifully complement one another in healing Morning routines, gratitude, and simple practices that bring life back into living This episode is especially meaningful for women who feel stuck between knowing alcohol no longer serves them… but still longing for peace, purpose, and connection. A Few Favorite Quotes from This Episode: “Alcohol didn’t just numb my anxiety. It numbed my joy, my peace, and my connection to myself.” “I felt like I was taking sips of chaos — when what I truly wanted was serenity.” “You are not broken. You introduced a flawed substance into your life.” “Even when I was running from God… He was still holding me.” Resources & Links: 🌿 Download Carolyn’s FREE Sips of Serenity Devotional https://winter-hall-28614.myflodesk.com/30daydevo Also available through Carolyn’s Instagram and Facebook: @carolynbennett2.0 🌿 Learn More About The Zero Proof Life: https://www.thezeroprooflife.com/ 🌿 Follow The Zero Proof Life: Instagram & Facebook: @thezeroprooflife About Carolyn Bennett Carolyn Bennett is a certified This Naked Mind Coach, Ecotherapy Practitioner, speaker, and co-founder of The Zero Proof Life.

  Episode 31: Mastering Emotions with DBT

  May 26, 202630 min

  In this episode, Suzette Bray, a licensed marriage and family therapist, discusses the fundamentals of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and its practical applications for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and managing intense feelings—especially relevant for those navigating alcohol-free living. keywords DBT, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mental health, alcohol-free, coping skills, workbook, therapy, mindfulness, emotional intelligence key topics Introduction to DBT and its origins Core skills of DBT: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness Practical tools like the STOP skill and mammalian dive reflex DBT in schools and community settings The connection between trauma, mental health, and alcohol use takeaways DBT was initially developed for chronically suicidal and self-harming individuals but is broadly useful for emotional regulation. Skills like the STOP technique and mammalian dive reflex can be practiced anywhere to manage high distress. Teaching DBT skills in schools helps normalize emotional health and provides early intervention. Alcohol often masks underlying emotional issues; addressing these with DBT can lead to lasting change. Consistent practice of coping skills is essential for them to become natural responses in high-stress moments. guest: Suzette Bray https://www.suzettebray.com/ Follow ZPL: https://www.instagram.com/thezeroprooflife/ https://www.thezeroprooflife.com/products/zpl-monthly-subscription Follow the coaches: Brandi Babb – @brandi.babb ( https://www.instagram.com/brandi.babb/ ) Karla Adkins – @karlakadkins ( https://www.instagram.com/karlakadkins/ ) Carolyn Bennett – @thesoberempath ( https://www.instagram.com/carolynbennett2.0/ ) Becca Snider – @becsnider ( https://www.instagram.com/becsnider/ ) If this conversation resonated with you, please follow the show and leave a review so more people can discover The Zero Proof Life.
