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.

Naomi DuCharme joined us for this honest and powerful conversation about burnout, stress, leadership, sobriety, and finding purpose after alcohol. This episode includes a brief mention of suicide and substance use. Naomi shares her story growing up in Alaska where drinking culture was heavily normalized and how alcohol became a big part of her life starting at a young age. From working in hospitality to leadership roles in construction and oil and gas, she opens up about the pressure of high-performance environments, being a woman in male-dominated industries, and how alcohol slowly became something she relied on to cope with stress, grief, and burnout. We also talk about gray area drinking, postpartum stress, workplace drinking culture, and the pressure so many women feel to keep pushing through while quietly struggling behind the scenes. Naomi shares how coaching, therapy, and community helped her start healing and how removing alcohol gave her more clarity, purpose, and alignment in her life. Naomi now helps individuals and organizations build healthier, more supportive workplace cultures through leadership coaching, workplace wellbeing consulting, and recovery support. Her story is incredibly relatable and this episode is such a powerful reminder that you do not need to hit rock bottom to decide you want something different for your life.
