This week I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Patrick Fox —men’s life and sober coach— for an honest, practical conversation about emotions, sobriety, and why “feeling it” is the fastest way through. Patrick shares his journey to eight years alcohol-free, how identity shifts start small (hello, One Year No Beer), and the somatic tools from Compassionate Inquiry that help you let emotions move without buying into the old “I’m not good enough” script. We dig into urges, shame, and that rinse-repeat cycle, plus how to model healthy emotional processing for our kids and partners. Expect zero fluff, lots of compassion, and plenty you can try today—especially if you’re a busy woman juggling work, family and the constant pressure to keep everyone happy. You’ll learn: A simpler way to process feelings: feel it without believing it Quick somatic check-ins to get out of your head and into your body How small commitments become lasting identity shifts Why curiosity and compassion beat self-judgement every time 🎧 Bonus: I’ll share a recording of my own CI session with Patrick so you can see the process in action. Check it out after this episode.
