For Ruby Williams, living in Northern California's wine country, daily drinking became a coping mechanism for a demanding corporate job and the pressures of single motherhood. Even after weight-loss surgery, her struggles with disordered eating transitioned into significant alcohol misuse. At 49, she chose a different path, finding recovery and embracing an alcohol-free life.

Ruby's story highlights the challenges of alcohol dependency and the possibility of finding freedom. She discovered a thriving sober community and the alcohol-free movement, offering support and resources for those seeking to reduce alcohol consumption or quit drinking.

How’s my drinking Quiz: https://www.freedomrenegadecoaching.com/WorriedAboutYourDrinkingQuiz


Hosted by integrative health practitioner Sarah Dawkins, Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers is for anyone who senses there's more to their wellbeing than standard diagnoses and treatments. This podcast digs into the often-overlooked connections between our emotional histories, nervous system states, and physical health. Rather than offering another set of tips for managing symptoms, conversations here explore how unresolved trauma can manifest as chronic pain, what true nervous system regulation feels like, and practical ways to engage the body's own wisdom for healing. You'll find a focus on somatic practices and the underlying principles of natural recovery, all aimed at moving past simply coping and towards reclaiming a genuine sense of vitality. It’s a space for those ready to look deeper, questioning the root causes of imbalance and discovering a more integrated path to lasting wellness. Each episode builds on the idea that you are not just a patient to be managed, but an active participant in your own healing journey. Tune in for thoughtful, grounded discussions that bridge the gap between mind and body, offering a compassionate and insightful companion for your personal health exploration.
