How to Stay Sober Through Overwhelm

In this episode, I share how overwhelm can creep into our lives and the tools I use to stay grounded and maintain sobriety through life’s chaos. From managing holiday stress to handling life’s big and small moments, I reflect on how alcohol once seemed like a solution but only added to the problem. Now, with almost six years of sobriety, I’ve learned healthier ways to navigate challenges while staying true to myself.We’ll talk about how routines, breath-work, and setting boundaries can transform overwhelm into something manageable. Plus, I share insights from Mel Robbins' "let them" theory and how embracing this mindset can lighten your emotional load. Whether you're looking for practical advice or just a little reassurance that you're not alone, this episode is all about finding calm in the storm.Here are the highlights:(3:25) Tools for Staying Sober During Overwhelm(10:02) Using Alcohol to Cope with Overwhelm(13:11) Tools for Combat Overwhelm(17:08) Creative Activities and Setting Boundaries(20:45) Human Connection and Professional Help(23:44) Mel Robbins' Let Them TheoryConnect with Kaitlin:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInYOUTUBE CHANNELTIKTOK
