The conversation emphasizes the significance of being present, honoring one's emotions, and the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

She helps women who feel stuck in situations or relationships that no longer feel aligned to tap into their inner knowing and authentic, feminine power so they can create a life they love. Carey has walked the walk, shifting from a successful real estate business to becoming a healer, coach and author.

I chat with Ashley Brickhouse about spirituality, manifestation, and mindset in this conversation. We discuss our journeys into spirituality and how it has impacted their lives. We discuss the concept of purpose and how it is not necessarily linked to one's job or vocation.

We chat:

• Spirituality can be a personal journey that is strengthened by experiences and personal growth.
• Purpose is not necessarily linked to one's job or vocation, but rather the highest expression of one's soul and the unique light they bring to the world.
• Being present in the moment and embracing one's passions and joys is key to living a fulfilled life.
• Intuition can be confused with ego, but true intuition feels like a loving nudge that is supportive and uplifting.
• Trusting oneself and the universe is essential when following intuition and making decisions.
• Fear is an illusion and should not guide decisions; trusting oneself and taking responsibility for one's life is empowering.
• Growth and change can feel uncomfortable, but it is a sign of personal development and progress. Managing the nervous system is crucial for personal growth and overcoming people-pleasing tendencies.
• Stepping out of the comfort zone and desensitizing oneself to anxiety is essential for personal development.
• Education in psychology, health, and the nervous system empowers individuals in their personal growth journey.
• Finding balance and allowing oneself to feel negative emotions without getting stuck in them is key to alignment and joy.
• Verbal processing and holding space for others can be healing and therapeutic.

In this quick episode, I talk about the concept of gray area drinking—where you might not see yourself as a "problem drinker," but you still feel like your relationship with alcohol isn't fully aligned. I share why community support is so important on the sobriety journey and why we need to normalize choosing a life without alcohol. I encourage you to honor your intuition and explore what could open up for you if you removed alcohol from your life. I also dive into how society shapes our perceptions of drinking, the emotional challenges that can come with sobriety, and the beautiful journey of self-discovery and growth that’s possible when you choose a different path. On a side note, I talk about emotions and drinking. Emotions can be happy emotions, too. We not only drink due to stress, but have been conditioned to drink because it's nice out, it's Friday, at a wedding, at a sporting event, and so on.

In this episode of Soulful and Sober, I’m talking about those seasons when you feel constantly overwhelmed, worried, and like your brain just won’t shut off especially when you’re sober or changing your relationship with alcohol. I break down what’s actually happening in your body when you’re in “protection mode” (fight, flight, freeze, fawn), and how things like burnout, perfectionism, pressure to have it all together, and people pleasing can leave you feeling unmotivated, inflamed, exhausted, and stuck.

I also share how alcohol, emotional eating, scrolling, and overworking can become ways we numb out when our nervous system doesn’t feel safe and why you are not a failure if you keep finding yourself in those loops. You’ll hear simple, practical tools to calm your body (like breathwork, movement, brain dumps, and nervous system regulation), start listening to what you actually need, and gently move from chronic overwhelm into more safety, presence, and self-compassion.
