Blurred Lines, Clear Choices - Lauren's Story

from The Sober New Yorker · host Melissa McGovern

What if the key to freedom isn't admitting you're powerless—but discovering just how powerful you really are?In this episode, Melissa sits down with Lauren Fay—author of Blurred Lines, alcohol-free empowerment coach, Reiki Master Teacher, former collegiate athlete, and eight years sober—to challenge traditional recovery narratives and explore a different way of thinking about alcohol.Together, they discuss powerlessness versus personal power, self-trust, and what becomes possible when we stop seeing ourselves as broken and start reclaiming our agency.Because maybe the question isn't whether you're powerless over alcohol—it's whether you've forgotten how powerful you truly are.Lauren's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/laurenfaycoaching/Get her book!https://laurenfay.co/book
