    <description>Sober Soul — Your past shaped you. It doesn't have to define you.
What happens when you stop numbing, shrinking and settling — and start stepping into your power?
Sober Soul is about so much more than alcohol. It's about rebuilding after setbacks, breaking old patterns, finding yourself again and creating a life that you don't want to escape from.
I'm not an expert or a guru. I'm figuring it out too — and bringing you along for the journey.
Expect authentic reflections, real-life stories, mindset shifts and plenty of "me too" moments as we navigate sobriety, self-worth, resilience, reinvention and what it means to start again.
Own your mess. Find your message. Step into your power.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode I explore how labels&mdash;particularly the word "alcoholic"&mdash;can affect recovery and personal identity. I share experiences attending AA meetings, struggles with anxiety linked to past drinking, and why I choose not to adopt the label despite acknowledging I had a problem with alcohol.</p>
<p>The conversation emphasises the importance of growth beyond a single label, enriching life in recovery through daily actions and relationship work, and asserting the right to define oneself.&nbsp;</p>
