She Surrenders - The Podcast
She Surrenders is where we talk about faith, addiction, and women all in the same place. Sherry’s 10-year struggle with alcohol ended in surrender to God and a 1,000-mile bike trip. There is an easier way! Sherry started She Surrenders out of a place of needing to find other women of faith struggling with their secrets of addiction. Her heart is to share everything about recovery and what it looks like to surrender to God and the life He calls you to live. Whatever you struggle with, you are in the right place to find encouragement and comfort that you are not alone. We all have our stuff.
Its about time we learn from each other and share our stories of surrender and the joy that can be found in a life living in recovery as a woman who loves the Lord.

From Pub Life to Purpose: Christy's Journey of Sobriety and Transformation
Welcome back to Season SIX; I can hardly believe it! I am so happy to be back, and I have some fantastic and inspiring guests for you this season.
We are starting with Christy Osborne. Can I tell you, I just love this girl? We’ve gotten to know each other over the last few weeks, and I hope to continue. I know you will, too, after hearing her story and what she is up to these days!
Moving from sunny Los Angeles to the quaint countryside of Surrey, UK, Christy embarked on a transformative journey that reshaped her life. How does one adapt from the vibrant nightlife of California to the charming yet culture-shifting pub scene of London? Christy shares her personal story of navigating expat life, grappling with loneliness, and how the social drinking culture became intertwined with her daily routine, especially during the challenges of early motherhood.
But the tale doesn’t end there. During the isolating times of the COVID-19 lockdown, Christy faced a moment of reckoning. What happens when you confront your habits head-on and seek authenticity? We explore Christy's path to sobriety, the initial struggles, and her faith's significant role in that journey. She opens up about the deeper questions she had to ask herself and the strength she derived from her faith, which kept her anchored through the most challenging times.
What’s the ripple effect of going alcohol-free? Christy’s journey didn’t just stop at personal transformation; it extended to helping others. Discover how her sobriety journey inspired her to become a coach and write a book. From unexpected support to empowering others, Christy reveals the immense fulfillment found in guiding others on similar paths. This episode is a heartfelt testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative power of embracing one’s true self. Listen in for an inspiring story of hope and the remarkable impacts of choosing sobriety.
