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.

In this episode, Michelle celebrates the progress that several members have made in reducing or stopping their alcohol consumption through the Stop Overdrinking Roadmap program.
She then discusses one member's experience with feeling resistance to change and pressure to drink after initially making good progress. Michelle emphasizes the importance of having alternative coping strategies prepared for when cravings hit.
Several practical techniques are provided for shifting one's state of mind in those challenging moments, such as listening to uplifting music, spending time in nature, dancing, or doing a short exercise routine. The "5 second rule" method of forcing oneself to take action is also introduced.
Michelle encourages relying on one's faith and relationship with God for encouragement, desire to change, and support. Resources like the Stop Overdrinking Roadmap program are mentioned for those seeking more guidance and community.
The discussion provides action steps like coming up with a list of short activities, practicing shifting one's state, and utilizing faith to overcome urges to drink when facing pressures or resistance to change.

Alysia and Michelle had a conversation about motherhood, the challenges it presents, and the guilt that many mothers experience. Michelle shared about the different stages of motherhood, the challenges of raising teenagers, and how a mother's values can contribute to feelings of guilt. Alysia proposed that guilt is a notification that a person is not aligned with their values, and she emphasized that sometimes guilt is warranted, and sometimes it is not, especially when past actions cannot be changed.
Alysia and Michelle discussed the challenges of balancing work and family life. Alysia shared her experience of traveling for work and the conversations she has with her son about her absences. Both agreed on the importance of quality time with children rather than just quantity of time. They also emphasized the value of open communication with children and focusing on their feelings without judgment.
Michelle and Alysia delved into the process of emotional healing and coping, with particular emphasis on childhood triggers. Alysia pointed out that these triggers often indicate a sense of feeling unsafe and highlighted the ongoing nature of the healing process. They both stressed the importance of personal growth and healing for parents, noting that it leads to more intuitive and loving parenting. Alysia shared her personal experience of noticing improvements in her reactions and discussed them with her son.

Our beliefs are the deep-rooted cause of our behaviors and how we respond in life. We were not born with them. They have been created over our lifetime. Are they true? Are they serving you?
In this episode, I help you clarify your beliefs where they came from, and how you can create new ones that can empower you and move you forward if that's what you want.
