That quiet nudge that whispers, maybe alcohol isn't serving me anymore—what if that feeling is an invitation? In this honest and grace-filled conversation, sobriety coach and author Christy Osborne shares her story of choosing sobriety and how it led her into a life she never imagined possible. You are not alone in your struggle, and freedom is closer than you think.

Christy's relationship with alcohol looked nothing like what most people picture. She was a "normal drinker"—a sorority girl, a law student, building a beautiful life in London. But over the years, alcohol quietly took on new jobs: social lubricant, stress reliever, coping mechanism. After the devastating loss of her mother—who passed away from alcohol-related illness—Christy found herself masking her grief behind a glamorous Instagram feed and a glass of champagne. On the second anniversary of her mother's death, everything changed.

Christy shares what God taught her through that breaking point, how she discovered the science behind why alcohol hijacks our brains and our bodies, and why she now believes that sobriety isn't a loss—it's the greatest gift she's ever given herself. She is the author of Love Life Sober, a 40-day alcohol fast rooted in Scripture, neuroscience, and practical coaching that has helped women in the US and UK renew their minds and rediscover joy.

We talk honestly about the ways alcohol quietly creeps into everyday life, why moderation is so much harder than we think, and how the lie that "sober life is boring" keeps so many women stuck. Christy also shares the simple mindset shift that changes everything: approaching sobriety with curiosity instead of fear.

Host Allie Marie Smith also opens up about her own decision at 21—a moment she credits as God-given wisdom—to push a glass of wine away and never look back, and how that one choice spared her from a path of real heartache.

If you've ever felt that little nudge, if you've tried to cut back and can't, if you're tired of the anxiety and the regret, or if you simply wonder whether there's more for you on the other side of alcohol—this episode is your gentle invitation to find out.

There is no judgment here. There is no condemnation here. God wants you well—spiritually, mentally, and physically—and this conversation is a reminder that you are not alone, and that a freer, fuller life is possible.

Grief, shame, and isolation have a way of making us feel like our wounds are too deep to heal—but you are not alone, and freedom is possible. In this conversation, abortion recovery coach and certified life coach, Christie Myers, vulnerably shares her personal story of healing from three abortions to remind us that no matter what we've walked through, God meets us with compassion, not condemnation.

Christie shares what God brought her through on her long and winding road to healing, and how what she once believed she'd silently carry forever became a story of redemption she now freely shares. She opens up about the lies, the isolation, and the coping mechanisms that kept her in grief for years—and what finally broke those chains.

We talk honestly about the emotional aftermath of abortion that so few talk about, how isolation and unmanaged pain deepen our wounds, and how true healing requires honesty with God and with ourselves. Christie also walks us through the power of repentance, forgiveness, and prayer—and the moment everything changed for her. She even shares a beautiful vision God gave her about her children in heaven that will bring so much comfort to grieving mothers.

If you've ever carried this silently, felt condemned by your past, or believed that healing simply wasn't possible for you, this episode is a gentle and grace-filled reminder that God sees you, He's not mad at you, and He will not withhold healing from anyone who asks.

Join us for a hope-filled conversation about healing, freedom, and the God who redeems every story.
