Angelica Roberts grew up an avid reader and passionate storyteller with a natural acumen for writing. As a military kid who moved around often, she never felt like she belonged. That is until she attended Florida A&M University (FAMU), a historically black college/university (HBCU) for undergrad. Here, Angelica finally felt she had found a home and a strong sense of community. Still, it was also here that Angelica first started drinking alcohol, which led to years of active addiction and ultimately led to sobriety.

Join us for a conversation that goes beyond the surface, weaving together narratives of resilience, redemption, and the unwavering belief that honesty and faith can pave the way to a fulfilling life after addiction.

We also get into:

• Exploring the complex relationship between artistic torment and alcohol as a means of expression and escape.
• Labeling and stigmas, specifically identifying as an alcoholic
• The importance and necessity of diverse stories in recovery
• The value of forging a connection with your higher power
• How honesty helps you get sober

Nadine has just gotten back from Berlin so this week's episode is a throwback to a fan favorite episode from season 1 of the podcast: "Strippers are Sober, Too" featuring Regan Riley. 

Reagan Reilly is a Las Vegas exotic dancer with over 10 years of sobriety. Reagan is refreshingly honest about her past addictions that almost killed her, life as a Las Vegas stripper, and how she maintains sobriety in the adult entertainment industry.

You’ll laugh, cry, and hopefully walk away with a greater understanding of what it’s like to have a physical and mental dependence. Reagan also sheds light on misconceptions the public has about stripping and why people should stop judging the industry harshly.

As always, thanks for listening! Please like, comment, and share this podcast!

In this episode, we explore the power of hypnotherapy in addiction recovery. Our guest, Georgia Foster, is  a world renowned hypnotherapist, top selling author, and creator of Life Changing Programs  with years of experience in addiction treatment. Georgia shares insights and anecdotes about how hypnosis can be a highly effective tool for overcoming addiction.

One of the key topics we explore is the role of the inner critic in addiction. The inner critic is the voice inside our heads that tells us we're not good enough, smart enough, or strong enough to achieve our goals. For many people struggling with addiction, this inner critic can be a major obstacle to recovery. It can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and self-doubt, which can in turn drive addictive behaviors.

Georgia explains how hypnotherapy can help people reprogram their inner critic, replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations and beliefs. By working with the subconscious mind, hypnosis can help people access deeper levels of self-awareness and self-acceptance, which can be crucial for long-term recovery.

We also discuss the importance of finding the right hypnotherapist, someone who is not only highly skilled in hypnosis techniques but also has a deep understanding of addiction and recovery. 

Overall, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of hypnotherapy in addiction recovery, as well as practical advice for anyone considering this approach as part of their recovery journey. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one in their recovery, you'll find plenty of inspiration and guidance in this engaging conversation.

Welcome to The Sober Butterfly Podcast! In today's episode, we will explore the four seasons of life.

Life is cyclical, not linear. As human beings, we go through different life phases, each with unique challenges and opportunities. These seasons are often compared to the four seasons of nature: spring, summer, fall, and winter.

• Season of winter –Preparation
• Season of spring –Opportunities.
• Season of summer – Growth and Protection
• Season of fall – Successes and Failures.

IThe four seasons of life represent a journey of growth, learning, and self-discovery. By understanding and embracing these seasons, we can navigate the challenges and opportunities that come our way and live a fulfilling life. Thank you for listening to The Sober Butterfly Podcast.
