When you quit drinking, you go through periods of learning how to parent yourself on your alcohol-free journey. Whether you're a parent, child-free, or somewhere in between, Sara and Heather dive deep into the power of becoming your own inner caregiver—your inner mother, father, or adult—and how sobriety makes space for that transformation. Quitting alcohol isn't just about removing something toxic. It's about rebuilding your life, one foundational brick at a time.

Ever feel like if you're not doing something perfectly, it's not worth doing at all? That's all-or-nothing thinking, and it can sabotage your progress—not just in sobriety, but in every area of life. In this episode of No More Wasted Days, Heather and Sara dive into why this mindset is so harmful, how it keeps you stuck, and what to do instead. Whether you've struggled with feeling like one drink means total failure, or you tend to abandon goals the second they don't go perfectly, this episode will help you shift your thinking, embrace progress over perfection, and build the resilience you need for long-term success. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What all-or-nothing thinking is and why it's so common in sobriety. ✅ How perfectionism keeps you stuck and leads to self-sabotage. ✅ Why setbacks don't erase your progress (and how to reframe them). ✅ The difference between a pressure-driven mindset vs. a growth mindset. ✅ Strategies to challenge all-or-nothing thinking and stay consistent. Key Takeaways: Progress is Cumulative – One setback doesn't erase everything you've achieved. Perfection is a Trap – Success is a spectrum, not an all-or-nothing game. Reframe Setbacks as Data, Not Drama – Every misstep is a learning opportunity. Identity Shift is Key – Instead of saying “I'm trying to quit drinking,” say “I'm someone who prioritizes my health.” Small Steps Lead to Big Wins – The 1% Rule: Just get 1% better each day. Memorable Quotes: “You don't have to be perfect to be making progress.” “One drink doesn't erase all the work you've done. It's a moment, not the whole story.” “Your alcohol-free journey isn't an on/off switch—it's a process of growth and self-discovery.” “Instead of waiting for the ‘perfect' time, start where you are and adjust along the way.” Call to Action:

Why alcohol actually makes parenting (and life) harder. The Rebound Effect—how alcohol increases anxiety rather than relieving it. Four powerful strategies to replace alcohol with real self-care. Key Takeaways: Redefine Self-Care – Alcohol isn't self-care. Real self-care means rest, connection, creativity, and movement. Let Go of Perfectionism – “Good enough” is enough. Find Community – You don't have to navigate this alone—surround yourself with like-minded support.

Let's talk about radical acceptance—a concept that can completely shift your mindset in sobriety and in life. In this episode of No More Wasted Days, Heather and Sara dive into what radical acceptance actually means, how it helps you move through challenges without resistance, and why it's a powerful tool for staying alcohol-free. If you're struggling with emotions, self-judgment, or the need to control everything, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need to find more peace and freedom on your journey. What You'll Learn in This Episode: What radical acceptance is (and what it's not). Why acceptance doesn't mean giving up—but actually empowers you to take action. How resisting reality creates unnecessary suffering (and how to stop). Practical ways to start using radical acceptance in your alcohol-free journey. How to manage emotions, let go of judgment, and stop fighting what you can't control. Key Takeaways: Acceptance ≠ Approval – You don't have to like a situation to accept it and move forward. Control What You Can – The only thing you truly control is how you respond. Let Go of Judgment – Free yourself from labeling things as “good” or “bad” and just be. Practice Non-Attachment to Outcomes – Focus on what is, not the endless “what ifs.” Self-Compassion is Key – Treat yourself like you would a friend going through a tough time. Memorable Quotes: “Acceptance isn't giving up—it's choosing to move forward without wasting energy on resistance.” “When we resist what's happening, we create more suffering for ourselves.” “Letting go of judgment doesn't mean you're okay with something—it means you're freeing yourself from unnecessary emotional weight.” “You don't need to love your reality to accept it. Acceptance is what helps you move through it.” “Focus on ‘what is' instead of ‘what if'—because the ‘what ifs' will keep you stuck.”   Resources Mentioned: Daymakers Community: Weekly coaching calls, private messaging threads, and a supportive community.
