In this episode, Sara sits down with Jessi Hartnett, host of the Honor Your Heart Podcast, to talk about breaking free from cigarettes, weed, and alcohol, and what it really takes to stay free. Jessi shares her journey from perfectionism and burnout to healing, revealing how substances were never the real problem – they were the solution she used to cope. Together, they unpack the emotional roots of addiction, the surprising challenges of quitting weed, and why true freedom comes from learning how to meet your needs in healthier ways. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of numbing out, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to start reconnecting with your authentic self.

• Why perfectionism and workaholism often fuel substance use
• The emotional rollercoaster behind drinking, smoking, and using weed
• The truth about weed withdrawal that no one talks about
• Why quitting all substances at once can sometimes be more effective
• How anger can actually help you break free
• The difference between external success and internal peace
• Why lasting change requires inner work, not just willpower

You’re not just quitting a substance—you’re learning how to come back to yourself.

In this powerful conversation, Sara sits down with mindset coach and speaker Jill McKnight to explore the connection between alcohol, emotional manipulation, and learning to trust yourself again.

Jill shares her personal experience navigating a narcissistic relationship and how alcohol can both mask and intensify the confusion, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion that often come with it.

Together, they unpack how to recognize red flags, rebuild self-trust, and begin reclaiming your identity, whether you're still in the relationship or starting your healing journey.

If you’ve ever felt like you were “too much,” questioned your reality, or used alcohol to cope with stress or anxiety, this episode will help you see things more clearly and remind you that you are allowed to want more.

In this episode, we cover:

• How narcissistic traits and alcohol misuse feed off each other
• Why you may feel like you’re the problem (and why you’re not)
• The role alcohol plays in numbing and delaying clarity
• Early warning signs of toxic or narcissistic dynamics
• How to start rebuilding trust in yourself
• Why leaving feels so scary, and how to move through that fear
• Small, practical ways to reconnect with your identity
