December emotions are running high—and your body is carrying more than you realize.

What if the discomfort, cravings, and physical tension you’re feeling aren’t problems to fix, but signals asking to be heard?

In this sobriety snippet, Becca explains how the physical body acts as an emotional filter—and what happens when emotions like resentment, anger, shame, and regret are pushed down instead of released.

She shares why alcohol feels like relief in the moment but actually prevents emotional processing, how unexpressed emotions accumulate in the body over time, and why this buildup can intensify cravings, reactivity, and physical symptoms—especially for women over 40.

In this episode, you'll

• recognize how your body stores emotions that alcohol helped you avoid.
• decode physical signals like cravings, tension, fatigue, and reactivity as emotional messages—not personal failures.
• reframe letting go as a skill you can practice, not something you should already know how to do.
• experience how emotional releasing supports calmer nerves, clearer thinking, and stronger sobriety.

Hit play if you’re ready to stop numbing emotions and start releasing them in a way that actually supports sobriety.
