Episode 316: Is Binge Drinking More Dangerous Than You Think? with Colleen Clifford
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of alcohol-related suicide. Please listen with care. Colleen Clifford lost her husband to alcohol, but it took years and a handful of wild card moments for her to confront her own relationship with drinking. 95% of the time? She felt in control. 5% of the time, something flipped. A split-second decision, a blackout, or a version of herself she didn’t fully recognize. Today, we’re talking about the psychology of the wild card, why “mostly fine” can still cost you your integrity, and the moment Colleen decided she would never again...

Episode 315: The Dirty Truth About Social Drinking: Why 'Everything in Moderation' Is BS with Hadley Sorensen
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Hadley Sorensen didn’t stop drinking four years ago because everything fell apart. She quit because something felt off, even though from the outside, her drinking looked completely normal. That intuitive hit led her to do what only 1% of people ever do – write the book she couldn’t find: . Hadley talks about how she is dismantling the toxic narratives around “mommy wine juice culture” which can keep you stuck in shame, and the belief that you need a dramatic reason to quit. You don’t need to keep doing something that makes you feel like crap just because everyone else is....

Episode 311: What Actually Happens to Your Body in 31 Days Without Alcohol
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
What happens to your gut when you stop drinking? Your skin? Your liver, your heart, your blood pressure, your brain’s gray matter? My personal hot take is that if pharmaceutical companies could bottle the effects of being alcohol-free, it would solve most diseases and chronic issues people have today, because the before and after difference of drinking and not drinking is INSANE. When I went alcohol-free, I not only felt and looked better, but I saw major changes in my biometrics, including my blood pressure and cholesterol, which were not what I thought they should be in my 20s and 30s. In...

Episode 310: Sugar Cravings, Boredom, and Other Weird Dry January Effects
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Why does eliminating alcohol suddenly make you crave sugar like Cookie Monster, struggle with sleep (though everyone swears you’ll snooze like a baby), or find yourself existentially bored? These aren’t signs that Dry January “isn’t working.” They’re signs that your nervous system, hormones, and dopamine pathways are recalibrating. I talk a lot about the incredible benefits of going alcohol-free: the confidence, the creativity, the clarity, and the INSANE biological changes. But some of these benefits take time. If this is your first Dry January or you’ve had a very “wet”...

Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Becoming a thought leader is an amazing business move, no matter your industry – but how do you actually BECOME a thought leader? After leading powerful transformations and masterminds in Paris and LA, I’m doubling down on a truth that every ambitious woman needs to know: you don’t need permission, credentials, or a massive following to be a thought leader. It’s all about intentional positioning. Today’s episode is about how to take that quantum leap in your career. We start with the basics — what thought leadership actually is (and what it’s not), and then move into how to use...
info_outlineImagine losing everything you thought defined you – only to discover the most powerful version of yourself waiting on the other side.
For most of her life, Dr. Sheri Lake lived for everyone else: a supermom juggling all the balls, exhausted, and numbing with alcohol to cope with the cognitive dissonance of living a life that didn’t align with her values. Then, her world cracked open.
After a shocking betrayal and divorce prompted her to stop drinking, a car accident and traumatic brain injury gave her a glimpse of the other side.
Sheri talks about the details of her near-death experience, and how it became an unexpected gift, inspiring her to become a spiritual teacher and angel communicator who helps women reconnect with their intuition.
I had SO many burning questions for Sheri (who also happens to be a 5X alum) and I think you’re going to love her insight. No matter how tangled your story feels, your life can transform the moment you give yourself permission to choose again.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Dr. Sheri Lake’s radical rebellion against martyrdom, ego, and societal expectations, from devastating betrayal and brain injury to an empowered, unscripted life
- The moment Dr. Sheri heard her guardian angel’s commanding voice in the backseat, pushing her to get out, and why she now channels messages from angels
- How releasing old identities, relationships, and even her last name led Dr. Sheri Lake to claim her purpose and teach other women to do the same
- Soul-stirring advice on trusting your intuition, receiving divine guidance, and stepping boldly into an unapologetic, expansive midlife revolution
