Join Meade and Christy as they welcome their friend, Teri the Sober Nutritionist, to the pod to discuss another very common question among those on the alcohol-free living journey: why am I craving sugar and will these cravings last forever? Teri offers wisdom and guidance around what we can do about sugar cravings, why it’s not a bad thing to crave sugar and what that craving could really be signaling to us. Find out what is similar about sugar cravings and alcohol cravings (how story plays a big role in both) and how they are different. Why does Teri say that sugar is not the enemy, what is a “bliss point" and what’s that got to do with what we crave? Learn why and how resetting our palettes is a great practice for overall health and wellness.

 

Listen along as the gals discuss which they think is harder to find freedom from–alcohol or sugar? You won’t want to miss what Meade and Christy both share about their own complicated relationships to sugar, food and their bodies and how it contributed to being stuck in the drinking cycle. Lastly, you’ll walk away with the most important question we can ask ourselves that offers us so much toward liberation in any complicated relationship whether with alcohol, sugar, food (or with another human even)! Grab something to take notes with for this one and enjoy!

Meet Your Host
We’re Christy Osborne and Meade Holland Shirley—co-hosts of the But Jesus Drank Wine podcast and co-founders of a faith-based ministry helping women break free from alcohol and walk boldly into the freedom Jesus offers. Our paths to freedom looked different, but led to the same truth: Jesus offers more than sobriety—He offers deep, lasting transformation.

Join our BJDW Community!

Christy, a former lawyer with a background in law, business, and politics, experienced radical renewal after choosing sobriety. Now a senior sobriety coach and author of Love Life Sober (Penguin Random House), she helps women renew their minds and rediscover joy through a powerful blend of faith, neuroscience, and practical tools.

Meade, a former pharmaceutical rep and stay-at-home mom, looked like she had it all together—but felt stuck in a nightly-ish wine habit. Once she realized the issue was less about drinking and more about thinking, everything changed. Now a senior certified coach and creator of the Change-Your-Thinking-to-Change-Your-Drinking method and The Missing P.E.A.C.E. framework, Meade helps women ditch shame, reclaim purpose, and live with peace and joy.

Together, we create loving, Spirit-led spaces where women can explore their relationship with alcohol, renew their minds, and pursue the freedom they were made for.

Christy lives in Surrey, England; Meade outside Atlanta. We're just two women who surrendered our wine glasses, found something far better in Jesus, and now have the joy of helping others do the same.
