Welcome to the Set Free Sisterhood Podcast — where we ditch alcohol, heal deeply, and step into our God-given purpose. Hey Sister — let’s get honest. Are you tired of waking up at 3am with your heart racing, your mind spinning, and that pit in your stomach that whispers “What’s wrong with me?” You hide it well. You show up, you smile, you juggle all the things. But behind the scenes, you’re stuck in this cycle: Drink, regret, repeat. And deep down, you know it’s costing you — your peace, your purpose, your joy, and your connection with God. I’m Michelle Porterfield — a faith-fueled, no-nonsense coach who helps Christian women break free from the grip of alcohol, heal what’s underneath it, and create a life they actually want to wake up to. I’ve walked this road. I know the fear, the shame, and the lies the enemy loves to whisper. And I also know the freedom waiting for you on the other side. This podcast is your safe, faith-filled space to get real, do the work, and become the woman God created you to be — bold, healed, and completely set free. If you’re ready, let’s do this.

Can I ask you a question?
Who takes care of the caregiver?
The woman who remembers every appointment.
The woman who checks in on everyone.
The woman her adult children call when life falls apart.
The woman helping aging parents, loving on grandchildren, supporting her family, serving others, and somehow trying to keep herself together.
Maybe that's you.
And here's what I want you to hear today:
You matter too.
Not just because of what you do for everyone else.
Not because you're the dependable one.
Not because you're the one who always knows what to say or how to fix it.
You matter because you are a daughter of God.
So many women I talk to have spent years pouring out, but they never learned how to receive.
They carry everyone's emotions.
They worry about everyone's choices.
They try to fix things they were never meant to control.
And eventually...
they are exhausted.
Sometimes that exhaustion leads them straight to the glass of wine at the end of the day.
Not because they are weak.
But because they are craving relief.
A moment where they don't have to be responsible for everyone else.
But friend, what if the answer isn't another drink?
What if the answer is learning how to release what was never yours to carry?
In today's episode of the Set Free Sisterhood Podcast, we talk about:
✨ The difference between caring and carrying
✨ Why worrying feels like love (but steals your peace)
✨ How to love people without trying to control their outcomes
✨ How to let God carry what you cannot
✨ The first steps to receiving support instead of always being the strong one
I also want to remind you of something from Philippians 4:6-7:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..."
God doesn't ask you to carry the whole world.
He invites you to bring it to Him.
If you've spent years being everyone's safe place, maybe it's time to create a safe place for yourself too.
You don't have to do this alone.
❤️ Michelle
