What if becoming alcohol-free isn’t just about giving something up—but about rediscovering what was always there?
When we stop flooding the brain with alcohol, we give our neural pathways a chance to rewire—and our true self a chance to re-emerge.
Today’s podcast episode is a subject I have touched on many times before, all about finding our way back after we stop drinking. There is a beautiful realization that our essence is still there, underneath the negative patterns and the habit loops we get stuck in. This conversation is enhanced by my guest, Sophia Graniela who shares her own journey home.
This week on The Sober Edge, I’m joined by Sophia Graniella, founder of Her Journey Home and a gentle guide for women seeking re-connection through sober travel and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). Sophia shares how her alcohol-free path opened the door to exploring new places—and deeper parts of herself.
We talk about what it means to use travel not as an escape, but as an invitation—to feel more, discover more, and remember who you really are when the distractions are gone. For Sophia, being alcohol-free allowed her to be fully present in moments she used to miss, and she now helps others create intentional travel experiences rooted in freedom and emotional clarity.
We also dive into the practice of EFT tapping, a simple but powerful technique that blends acupressure points with verbal affirmation. Sophia explains how tapping helps regulate the nervous system, release emotional blocks, and build trust in ourselves again—one tap at a time.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your intuition… if you’ve ever wanted to escape your life only to find that what you really needed was to come home to yourself… this conversation is for you.
Tune in and explore:
- How EFT supports emotional healing in recovery
- Why sober travel is less about the destination and more about the internal journey
- How to feel safe in your body and present in your choices
- A reminder that you don’t need fixing—you need reconnecting
This episode is a beautiful reminder: the journey home is always available, and it starts within.
