300 \\ Holding Gratitude and Grief: Navigating the Aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

• I'm so grateful for all the love and prayers from my coaching clients and group members during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in South Carolina.

• While my family and home were spared, I'm deeply saddened by the devastation I've seen in the surrounding communities, especially inwestern North Carolina. Places I love and have made memories in have been destroyed.

• Navigating this physical storm has mirrored my own personal emotional storms, like the major transition I'm going through at work and past experiences of grief and sorrow.

• It's been important for me to allow myself to fully feel the range of emotions - from gratitude to grief - rather than suppressing them. Seeking support and creating moments of joy have been crucial coping strategies.

• I encourage listeners to do the same, whether they're directly impacted or not. Grief and empathy can coexist with gratitude and hope, especially when grounded in our faith.

• There is an ongoing need for aid, volunteering, and community support in the affected areas. I'll be organizing an opportunity for my family to go and help in the coming weeks.

• Above all, I pray listeners will hold fast to resilience, patience, and a deeper relationship with God during life's storms, physical or otherwise. He is our true source of hope.

297 \\. Break the habit of over drinking for good.....Just in time for the Holiday's!

Hey Sister,

If you're struggling with the habit of over drinking, this episode is for you. I opened my heart and shared my own personal journey of finally breaking free from that cycle of resolve, regret, and disappointment. The truth is, breaking habits isn't just about willpower - it's about understanding yourself, creating new routines, and having the right support. That's why I'm inviting you to join my Support Sisterhood program, launching on September 30th. Over the course of 7 weeks, we'll dive deep into:

• Building a personalized toolkit of coping strategies
• Exploring the emotional drivers behind your habits
• Cultivating a supportive community of women who get it
• Celebrating every small win along the way

This program is designed to give you the tools and accountability you need to finally break the habit for good. And the timing couldn't be better, as we head into the holiday season. If you're ready to make a change, I urge you to sign up today.

296 \\ Building your own personal toolkit for success. How to stop drinking and love your life!

Y'all, I am so stinkin' excited to let you know that the Summer Support Sisterhood Group was an absolute hit, and I'm bringing it back for the fall!

This 7-week program is kicking off on September 30th, and we'll be meeting every Monday night at 7pm Eastern (that's 6pm Central for my friends in that time zone). Now, I know some of you lovely ladies are joining us from all over the world, so the timing might be a little different for you, but I promise I've tried to make it as accessible as possible.

Here's the deal - this group is going to be small and intimate, under 10 participants. Why? Because I want to create a safe, personal, and private space for us to really connect, support each other, and dive deep. No judgment, just pure sisterhood. So what are we going to be doing in this group?

We're going to be building our own personal "toolkits" to help us break free from this unhealthy relationship we've got going on with alcohol. I'm talking new routines, stress-busting strategies, commitment-making practices - the whole nine yards, baby.

And it's not just the weekly meetings, either. We're also going to have a private WhatsApp group where we can check in, ask questions, and celebrate our wins together. This is a collaborative community, and I can't wait for you to be a part of it.

Now, I know some of you might be a little nervous about taking this step. Heck, I was nervous too when I first started down this path. But can I just tell you - the transformation I've seen in the women who've gone through this program is nothing short of miraculous.

One of my clients, B, said it best: "I'm finally finding a sense of peace. I'm establishing stronger boundaries with others and myself, and I'm working on understanding the different sides of me." Y'all, that's what I want for you. I want you to feel empowered, to feel at peace, to feel like you're finally in the driver's seat of your own life. And I know that together, we can get you there.

So here's your next step: Email me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com and say I’m Ready! and let me know you're interested in joining the Fall Support Sisterhood Group.

Space is limited, so don't wait! I can't wait to meet you and support you on this journey.

295 \\ The REAL reasons you are afraid to feel your emotions...AND what to do about it!

In this episode, I opened up about a recent personal experience where I was overwhelmed, frustrated, and irritated. As someone who has been transparent about my journey of healing and self-discovery, I share how I navigated these difficult emotions and the importance of acknowledging, rather than suppressing, what we're feeling.

Through my own story and insight, my desire is to empower you to embrace the messy, beautiful journey of emotional honesty. We are all human and that navigating our emotions is a lifelong process. By cultivating self-compassion and vulnerability, we can find freedom and deepen our relationships with ourselves and others.

292 \\ Too busy for Self-Care? Reclaiming Your Time: Practical Strategies for Busy Women.

In this episode, I open up about the challenges of parenting during the back-to-school season and the importance of prioritizing self-care. I explore the societal and psychological factors that lead women to neglect their own needs, including the pressure to be selfless, the mental load of managing a household, and the fear of confronting deeper issues.

I provide practical strategies for creating space for self-care, such as starting small with 5-10 minute daily practices, learning to say "no" to obligations that drain your energy, and communicating your needs to your support system. I also emphasize the importance of self-compassion and seeking help when needed, whether through relationships, community, or professional coaching. Key Takeaways:

• Recognize the societal and internal beliefs that lead you to prioritize others' needs over your own

• Start small with self-care practices like breathing, reading, or taking a short break

• Learn to say "no" to requests that don't align with your priorities

• Communicate your needs to your family and ask for help

• Seek support through relationships, community, or professional coaching

• Reframe self-care as essential, not selfish

Action Steps:

1. Commit to a small daily self-care practice (5-10 minutes)

2. Identify one obligation you can say "no" to this week

3. Reach out to a friend or family member and ask for support

4. Consider reaching out to Michelle for one-on-one coaching

291 \\ 6 Years Alcohol Free!! My Biggest FEARS Before I FINALLY Gave Up Wine!

Hey there, my friends! I'm so excited to share this episode with you today. As you know, I'm Michelle Porterfield, and I'm celebrating 6 years of being alcohol-free. Can you believe it? It's been such an incredible journey, with so many ups and downs, but I'm just so grateful to be where I am today.

In this episode, I really wanted to get vulnerable and share some of the fears and struggles I faced before and during my journey to being alcohol free.

I know so many of you can relate to that feeling of being stuck, unsure of how to make a change, and worried about what others might think. Well, I've been there, and I'm here to tell you that it is possible to break free. I open up about my fears around addiction, judgment, and even my identity as a Christian woman. I share how I wrestled with the idea of having to go to meetings or label myself as an "alcoholic" (which, by the way, is not something I'm comfortable with). And I talk about the struggle of learning to feel and express my emotions, rather than just stuffing them down with a glass of wine. But through it all, I found the strength and support I needed to keep moving forward.

And now, 6 years later, I can honestly say that my life is so much richer, more fulfilling, and more aligned with who I truly am. I hope that by sharing my story, I can inspire you to take that first step and start your own journey to freedom.

So, if you're ready to break free from the hold that alcohol has on your life, I encourage you to reach out to me. You can book a call with me using the link in the show notes, or you can email me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com I'm here to walk alongside you, offer support and guidance, and help you create the life you've been dreaming of. I love you, my friends. Let's do this together!
