In this episode of Sisters in Sobriety, Sonia and Kathleen welcome the remarkable Lorina Christine, a motivational speaker, mentor, and coach dedicated to helping people break free from limiting beliefs, manifest abundance, and step into their true purpose. Through her personal transformation and journey in sobriety, Lorina has empowered countless individuals to embrace alignment and authenticity, breaking free from the shackles of perfectionism, self-sabotage, and the Good Girl Act.
The discussion covers key aspects of Lorina’s journey, delving into questions such as: How did growing up around alcohol influence her relationship with it? What role did manifesting play in her recovery process? And how can others begin their journey toward abundance and self-alignment? Lorina also breaks down her approach to shadow work, the law of assumption, and the healing power of mindfulness practices like breathwork, movement, and meditation.
Listeners will take away actionable insights on identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs, setting boundaries, and building self-worth. Lorina emphasizes the importance of journaling, tapping into emotional freedom techniques, and how manifesting from an abundant state—rather than one of lack—can radically transform your reality. These valuable tools and perspectives can help listeners realign with their true purpose and live more empowered, joy-filled lives.
Toward the end of the episode, Lorina shares deeply personal stories, including her pivotal moment of realizing that alcohol no longer served her and how that led to greater self-confidence, creativity, and, ultimately, a more fulfilled life. She touches on the importance of embodying wellness holistically and the joy found in living alcohol-free.
