Sobriety Snippets for Ambitious Women Over 40 - Sober Living with Soul, Smarts, and a Sense of Humor

Ever feel like alcohol steals the calm you deserve — even on the days when everything “looks” perfect? Today we close our study of As a Man Thinketh and pull out one central promise: serenity.

Becca walks through the final section, “Serenity,” and shows how James Allen’s idea that calmness of mind is the fruit of thought-discipline maps directly onto sobriety. If you’re ambitious, educated, and tired of being emotionally hijacked by the bottle — this episode explains why mindset matters more than temporary fixes.

In this episode, you'll

• understand why calmness is the “beautiful jewel of wisdom” you’re missing while drinking.
• recognize how alcohol steals your ability to grow into the wise, steady woman you want to be.
• cultivate simple thought-practices that shift you from reaction to presence — so life can happen for you, not to you.
