Feeling spiritually behind, overwhelmed, or exhausted in your faith journey? In this episode of Love Life Sober, Christy Osborne is joined by her friend, author, coach, and faith leader Em Tyler to explore why “beginning again” isn’t failure — it’s the rhythm of real discipleship.

If you’re feeling behind (in your Bible reading, your habits, your healing, your sobriety journey, your life)… Em gives you permission to breathe. Together, they talk about why beginning again isn’t embarrassing, why feeling “behind” doesn’t disqualify you, and how God meets us with grace, not urgency. :There’s no rush.

Em Tyler, a twice-certified coach, international speaker, author, podcaster, and all-round faith cheerleader. She is the Founder of the Established Conference and encourages over 7,000 believers each week through her Substack, Grow + Go Believers — a space for faith and growth without burnout or striving.

“I’m trying, but I can’t keep up.”

Babe, this one is for you. 🩷

Love Life Sober is a Christian podcast for women questioning their relationship with alcohol and sensing God might have more for them beyond the wine glass.

Have you felt that nudge from God to put down the wine glass, but the thought of relaxing, having fun, or even coping with life feels impossible without it? Are you waking up each morning vowing not to drink tonight, only to find that by five p.m., all bets are off?

Love Life Sober is for sober and sober-curious women who love Jesus, or who are longing to reconnect with Him, and who know deep down that alcohol is no longer serving them.

Hosted by Christian sobriety coach and author Christy Osborne, author of Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind, this podcast blends Scripture, neuroscience, and practical coaching to help you understand what’s happening in your brain, your nervous system, and your heart, and how lasting freedom from alcohol is actually possible.

You’ll hear expert conversations and powerful testimonies for women exploring Christian sobriety, faith-based recovery, mindful drinking, and alcohol-free living. Each episode gently invites you to step away from wine and toward deeper connection with God, without shame, pressure, or the need to decide forever.

At the heart of Love Life Sober is a simple truth. Love, joy, peace, and connection were never meant to be found in a wine bottle. They are found in Jesus.

This is a grace-filled, shame-free space for women seeking freedom from alcohol through faith, neuroscience, and compassionate coaching. You don’t have to hit rock bottom. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through sobriety. And you don’t have to do this alone.

If you’re ready to loosen alcohol’s grip and live the life God is inviting you into, you’re in the right place.
