There's a version of addiction we don't talk about enough…

The one where life looks good on the outside.
You're successful, responsible, and high-achieving.
You're doing all the things.

And yet… behind the scenes, alcohol becomes part of how you cope.

In this episode of the Hi Felicia Podcast, I sit down with sober coach, speaker, and founder of HOL + WELL, Amy C. Willis, to have a powerful and honest conversation about high-functioning addiction, burnout, and what it really means to live in alignment.

Amy shares her personal journey from overperforming and "having it all together" to recognizing the subtle but significant role alcohol was playing in her life and how choosing sobriety became one of the most self-trusting decisions she's ever made.

This conversation challenges the cultural narratives around alcohol, success, and self-care, and opens the door for a deeper conversation around identity, nervous system regulation, and true freedom.

• The hidden reality of high-functioning addiction
• Why you don't have to hit "rock bottom" to change your life
• The cycle of overperforming by day and drinking by night
• How alcohol is normalized as a coping tool for burnout
• The emotional and cultural drivers behind women's drinking habits
• Why moderation often fails — and why it's not about willpower
• The neuroscience behind habit formation and alcohol dependency
• How sobriety can lead to clarity, alignment, and self-trust
• Redefining success without numbing or escaping your life
• Building a life that feels intentional instead of performative

Amy C. Willis is a sober coach, speaker, and founder of HOL + WELL, a global coaching practice helping women and LGBTQ+ individuals redefine their relationship with alcohol. After struggling with addiction herself and losing her father to alcoholism, Amy has been sober for over nine years. Her work focuses on helping high-achieving women untangle alcohol from identity, stress, and success so they can build lives rooted in clarity, alignment, and freedom.

What if the life you've been chasing… isn't actually what you want?

In today's powerful conversation, I sit down with Karleigh Lindsay of Aligned & Empowered to talk about something we don't discuss enough — how many of our goals are actually trauma responses.

We dive into what it looks like to wake up and realize you've been building a life based on survival, validation, or conditioning… and how to consciously choose something different.

This episode is about:

• Reclaiming your worth
• Understanding true manifestation
• Setting your frequency intentionally
• Creating habits that support your future self
• Building community instead of doing it alone
• Designing a life on purpose

Karleigh shares how she rebuilt her life through intentional choices, identity work, and aligned action — not wishful thinking.

Because manifestation isn't about hoping.
It's about becoming.

And then doing.

• How to recognize when your desires are driven by trauma
• The difference between default living and intentional design
• Why "think positive and wait" is not a strategy
• How to intentionally set your energetic frequency
• The power of gamification in personal growth
