24. Reclaiming Your Power Alcohol-Free with Lauren Fay

Lauren Fay, bestselling author of Blurred Lines: My Reclamation of Power from Alcohol Addiction. P.S. You Are Not Powerless [https://amzn.to/4fe3onJ], joins Jaime for a powerful and inspiring conversation about alcohol-free freedom, self-trust, and reclaiming your life. Lauren shares her story of growing up as a military kid, becoming the “social butterfly,” and how alcohol first felt like freedom before eventually becoming a way to self-soothe, escape herself, and cope with perfectionism, pressure, and impossibly high standards. She opens up about the moment she knew something had to change, her decision to go to treatment, and what her first year alcohol-free looked like in sober living and AA. Jaime and Lauren also talk about identity, high-achieving women, learning how to trust yourself again, and why changing your relationship with alcohol is about so much more than the drink itself. Lauren shares how yoga, Reiki, writing, and empowerment became part of her healing and how she now helps women reconnect with their intuition, confidence, and power. This episode is honest, inspiring, and full of beautiful reminders that you are not powerless, you can do hard things, and life can become so much bigger and freer on the other side of alcohol.
