Ever wonder why sobriety feels harder than it should, even when you’re committed to change?In this episode of Sobriety Snippets, I dive into the wisdom of early 20th-century mindset pioneer Dorothea Brand.

Have you ever stopped to ask who is feeding your mind—and whether what you’re consuming is quietly keeping you stuck?In this episode of Sobriety Snippets, I invite you to look at something most of us never question: your “feed.” From social media to constant digital noise, we’re being fed information through our eyes and ears all day long—and it’s shaping our emotions, our nervous systems, and even our relationship with alcohol.
