    Sep 20 2024

    Is red wine really the health elixir it's touted to be, or just another myth perpetuated by savvy marketers? Join me, Christie Walker, on the Catholic Sobriety Podcast as we dissect the health claims surrounding red wine. Learn about its supposed benefits like protecting against Alzheimer's, reducing cancer risk, alleviating depression, and even improving bone density.

    We'll explore the origins of these claims, including the famed French paradox, and uncover the truth behind resveratrol, that celebrated antioxidant found in higher quantities in red wine compared to its white counterpart. Together, we'll navigate the importance of moderation and the essential need for independent research to separate fact from fiction.

    Make informed choices about your health and well-being with insights that go beyond the headlines. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that could change your perspective on that nightly glass of red wine.

    I'm here for you. I'm praying for you. You are NOT alone!

  • EP 93: Could the 12 Steps of AA Help You Even if You Aren't an Alcoholic?
    Aug 27 2024

    Send us a text

    What if the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous could transform your life, even if you’re not an alcoholic? Join me as I unravel how these powerful principles can benefit everyone. Through my own experiences with AA, we’ll explore how these steps help reframe our relationship with alcohol and guide us toward spiritual and personal growth.

    We journey into the heart of surrender and healing. Recognizing how faith plays an integral role in this transformation. As a Catholic, understanding your identity as a beloved child of God provides the strength needed to break free from alcohol. I’ll share briefly some of my personal struggles and triumphs within AA, shedding light on both the support I received and the difficulties I faced expressing my faith. The key takeaway? Turning your will and life over to God removes barriers to a true relationship with Him.
