Text Me!In episode 229 of the Sober Vibes podcast, I welcome Raechelle Embrey to the show, and we chat about how to heal from Perfectionism and People Pleasing, why so many women turn to alcohol, and how energy work, inner child healing, and setting boundaries can break the cycle.Perfectionism, high achievement, and alcohol often go hand in hand, especially for high-functioning women who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed and disconnected on the inside. Raechelle shares her personal story of growing up with a mother who had borderline personality disorder and how that experience shaped her perfectionism, people-pleasing, and eventual reliance on alcohol as a way to soften the pressure. Raechelle Embry is a Business & Wealth Astrologer and Energetic Alchemist for audacious, highly sensitive high-achievers.
