Building Your Power Pattern
Saturday Nov 08, 2025
Saturday Nov 08, 2025
🎙 Episode 4 – Building Your Power Pattern: Creating the House You Want to Live In
A Tribe Sober × Lynette Le Roux Mini-Series — “Becoming the Butterfly”
Music: “Remember” by Sutherland |
🦋 Episode Summary
In this fourth episode of Becoming the Butterfly, Lynette returns from the Tribe Sober 10-year celebration in Bali, filled with gratitude, inspiration, and connection.
She reflects on Triber Sober members sharing their own Power Pattern—a personal mantra or energetic blueprint that helps hold them steady when life feels hard. From “Too blessed to be stressed” to “There’s only ever one Day One,” to “Choose your hard”, these mantras became the foundation for a deeper teaching about how to rebuild the inner home of the mind.
Drawing on the work of Dr. Julia DiGangi, Lynette explains how the brain predicts safety through familiar patterns—and how recovery means gently interrupting the old sequence (“long day → wine → regret”) and installing a new one (“long day → breathe → rest → peace”).
Through simple, sensory Power Actions, Lynette invites you to build your own Power Pattern—your new emotional house filled with light, space, and freedom.
✨ In This Episode
A heartfelt reflection from Bali
Why your brain keeps choosing “apple, apple, apple” — and how to switch it to “apple, apple, pineapple”
The “house you live in” metaphor for rebuilding your inner world
How to design your Power Pattern — a mantra that feels like home in your body
Everyday examples of replacing old alcohol cues with new rituals
Why repetition redecorates the brain — and how to make calm your new familiar
Journal prompts to help you create your own Power Pattern
🪶 Listener Reflection Prompts
1️⃣ What pattern feels most familiar after a long day?
2️⃣ What new pattern would feel like home in my body?
3️⃣ What sentence helps me remember who I am when life feels hard?
4️⃣ Complete: “I am the butterfly emerging, and freedom is my beautiful name because…”
💡 Takeaway Quote
“Your Power Pattern is the house you live in.
Build it with intention, fill it with peace,
and you’ll never want to move back into the old one again.”

Episode 3 — Breaking the Sound Barrier: Living at the Edge
A Tribe Sober × Lynette Le Roux mini-series
Music: “Remember” by Sutherland | Length: ≈ 18 min
🦋 Episode Summary
Recorded on the morning Lynette set off for Bali to co-host Tribe Sober’s 10-year celebration, this episode explores how every real transformation passes through turbulence. From Brooke Castillo’s “currency of growth” to Phil Stutz’s “doorway of pain,” from Julia DiGangi’s edge of emotional power to the Positive Intelligence truth that we need to grow our mental six pack—each teacher reveals that the edge is not our enemy.
Through her personal story of “surfing the urge,” Lynette shows how to stop taking the edge off and instead expand your edge—to move through fear like Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier and to emerge, like the butterfly, into calm air and new freedom.
✨ What You’ll Learn
Why discomfort is the currency of growth
How to use Phil Stutz’s Reversal of Desire—“Bring it on”—to walk through pain now, not later
How Julia DiGangi’s Edge of Emotional Power expands your capacity for energy and balance
How Positive Intelligence helps you grow your mental six pack
The Three F’s practice: Feel it → Feed it → Focus forward
The dramatic true story of Chuck Yeager’s sonic-boom breakthrough as a metaphor for personal freedom
How to turn the thought “I need to take the edge off” into “I’m expanding my edge and growing my wings.”
🧭 Reflection & Practice
Try this:
1️⃣ Pause before the old habit or coping behaviour.
2️⃣ Breathe and whisper, “This is the edge.”
3️⃣ Feel it. Feed it. Focus forward.
4️⃣ Repeat the thought: I’m expanding my edge. I’m growing my wings.
Journal Prompts:
Where am I trying to take the edge off instead of listening to what the edge wants to teach me?
Dear Edge (or Dear Urge), what would you have me know?

I'm Sober Now What with Lynette le Roux
Saturday Oct 11, 2025
Saturday Oct 11, 2025
My guest this week is a very special member of our Tribe Sober Team
I first met Lynette LeRoux when she came to one of our workshops more than 8 years ago
She was in a dark place back then but the workshop was the catalyst she needed to change everything
Lynette has been transforming and enriching her life for the last 8 years – she’s found her passion and qualified as a Coach and for the last 3 years she has been working for Tribe Sober as a Coach
In this episode
Lynette first tasted alcohol at the tender age of 9 – she’d got hold of some tiny bottles of whisky and brandy which she kept near her bed. She would take a sip when she went to bed as it comforted her
Going off to boarding school at the age of 5 left her with lingering feelings of isolation – a feeling that those little sips chased away.
As she reflects back she realises it was a way to feel nurtured and held
She didn’t drink much in her teens but in her 20’s she met a guy who loved his whisky and she began to drink regularly
Lynette had never really felt comfortable in her own skin so alcohol helped her to socialise
Her relationship deteriorated due to her partners drunken rages and he left her when she was pregnant
She coped well over the next few years and began to develop her career
The usual after work drinks culture prevailed and Lynette fell back into her old patterns
She would drink excessively at the weekends as well as after work sometimes
Like many of us she would resolve to stop or cut down but nothing really changed
Then she met her current husband who hardly drinks at all
He thought she drank too much so she tried hard to make a change
She managed some sober stretches but as she got into her 40’s the alcohol came back into her life
Even though she was drinking Lynette tried a lot self development programs during this period
Looking back she realises that she never tried to integrate her learnings into her daily life
If we don’t apply the learnings then the courses are really a waste of time and nothing will change
As she moved into her 50’s Lynette became more dependent on alcohol
She felt she was losing connection with her husband and her friends
Always looking for the quick fix she decided to study plant medicine
As part of Lynette’s ongoing odyssey for a quick cure for her problems she came across our one day workshop
She attended the workshop but true to form she never really engaged
After the workshop she didn’t apply the tools or connect via the chatgroups
So nothing really changed and three months after the workshop she hit her rock bottom
Driving to work and struggling with an awful hangover she had a “not this” moment
Followed by a “if not this then what?” moment
Out of desperation she looked at her Tribe Sober workshop notes and decided to reconnect
Lynette went to the coffee meetup and engaged on the WhatsApp group
After reading other peoples messages for a while she decided to reach out
She posted a message that she felt really low
Another member explained that she felt that way because her brain was recalibrating and healing
This really resonated with Lynette and became her mantra
She began to study coaching and started to see that a different way of life was possible
As Lynette has been coached herself and has coached many people I asked her to explain why coaching is so valuable
She explained that coaching helps us to get perspective on our life and our mind
Coaching enables a growth mindset as we move towards our future self
We talked about the benefits she has gained from 5 years of sobriety
The biggest benefit for Lynette was reconnecting with herself and then developing her passion for coaching
She’s learned so much about her beautiful brain and she’s learned how to feel
She’s learned that emotional pain is a sign of growth and she must learn to get comfortable with being uncomfortable
That's a lesson she’s taught us all here at Tribe Sober
We agreed that there is so much more to recovery than “not drinking”
As Lynette said tha's just 10% of the work – and we will never thrive in sobriety if we don’t tackle the other 90%
We talked about anhedonia which is the low mood that sometimes hits us in early sobriety
For more on dealing anhedonia check out Lynette’s video on our you tube channel and the Tribe Sober podcast interview with Dr Loretta Breuning, episode 55 on Apple Podcasts
We talked about the Path to Purpose which is Lynette's membership program
We discussed the synergy between Tribe Sober and Path to Purpose memberships and our plans to bring them closer

The "pinking" of alcohol...with Ann Dowsett Johnston
Saturday Oct 04, 2025
Saturday Oct 04, 2025
Today’s guest is the wonderful Ann Dowsett Johnston who many of you will have heard of – she is a pioneer of the modern recovery movement and published her book "Drink" back in 2013 – which makes it one of the very first QuitLit books
In this episode:-
Ann's book Drink has been out for more than a decade and is still selling well – her TED talk has had 1.5m views
I did a previous interview with Ann a couple of years ago that you can listen to here.
The prologue to the book describes alcohol's seductive charm…and eventual harm
I love this analogy and here at Tribe Sober we suggest that our members write a "Goodbye Letter" to alcohol as it evolves from a handsome stranger to an abusive lover
Ann predicted the dramatic rise in risky drinking for women, which has sadly come true over the last decade
There is an epidemic of female drinking, especially among younger women, with serious health consequences – we are even seeing young women presenting with liver disease
The alcohol industry has been targeting women for the last couple of decades – using the tobacco marketing playbook and they’ve been stunningly successful
Many of us believed that we couldn’t have fun or relax or cope with stress without alcohol – and it certainly takes a few months to deprogram our thinking, to overturn those limiting belief
Ann is from Canada so had first hand experience of the public backlash that the low drinking guidelines (two drinks a week) caused!
The reduction in drinking guidelines came as new research was published linking alcohol to cancer and many other health conditions
Ann and I both love the modern recovery movement and the many different recovery pathways – I often say that if you want to give up drinking you need to find your people – if you think that Tribe Sober might be your community then click here
Ann mentioned the three levers for change: price, marketing reduction, and availability, but government action is slow and Big Alcohol will continue to use its lobbying power
So as individuals we must actively seek out the knowledge – we need to educate ourselves about the harm that alcohol can do to our brains and our bodies
Knowledge is power and the more we understand about alcohol the less we’ll feel like drinking it
Even if we decide to drink it should be an informed decision, we need to understand the risks
Ann talked about her "Writing Your Recovery" courses which offers support and tools for memoir writing.
Its a powerful 8-week online memoir-writing course.
Go to her website annsdowsettjohnston.com for more info
Ann will also be facilitating a South African writing retreat during week commencing 25th November – more info on that HERE
Ann now has more than 15 years of sobriety and spoke of the many benefits she has experienced
She returned to school at 64 to become a psychotherapist, specializing in women's substance issues and trauma
She has a wonderful relationship with her grandchild
Ann strongly believes that once we walk away from alcohol remarkable things will happen – the universe has a plan for us – she is awakened to wonder as she puts it
She’s built a rich and an alcohol free life that she loves, a life she definitely doesn’t want to escape from!

Breaking Free from Booze in just 3 months!
Saturday Sep 20, 2025
Saturday Sep 20, 2025
On this weeks solo episode I talk about our 3-month Breaking Free program which we run just three times a year.
Registration for the current program is open - more info on tribesober.com
We limit each Breaking Free group to 20 so you’ll always get personal attention
In this episode:-
I talk about the warning signs of alcohol dependence as well as the benefits of an alcohol free lifestyle
The Breaking Free program has four components…
Four pieces of a puzzle that come together to create a transformation…
The first piece of the puzzle is Community Support so we connect you with the other people on the Breaking Free program
We put you in a chatgroup with where you’ll also find some TS team members to answer any questions you may have
You'll also be invited to several Zoom meetings every week
The second piece is our 4 hour Masterclass – a group session which we hold via Zoom. Another opportunity to get to know the other people on the program as everyone will share their story at the beginning of the session. By the end of the Masterclass you’ll understand:-
The importance of a mindset change and the damage alcohol does to our health
We’ll be sharing our tried and tested sobriety toolkit and you’ll end the session feeling motivated and excited about the changes ahead.
While the Masterclass will give you an overview of the Tribe Sober approach to thriving in sobriety the online course will enable you to dive deeper at your own pace. You’ll get all the theory and training you need to overturn your limiting beliefs around alcohol which is the key….
Just as we’ve been programmed into thinking that alcohol is an essential part of our daily lives our online program will de-program you and enable you to understand that you will be happier and healthier without it!
The third piece is our online course which includes videos, podcasts, articles and book recommendations so you’ll be able to throw the book at your sobriety – you’ll be able to treat it as a 3-month project that will take a deep dive into psychology, biology and neuroscience - a project that will change the trajectory of your future.
The fourth part of the puzzle is the personal support.
You’ll have a 1.2.1 Zoom call with Monica who will explain how everything work and help you with any tech issues
Mid-way through the 3 month program you'll have a session with Coach Darren to review learnings so far
A final session with our Coach Lynette who will discuss how you are applying the theory of the Breaking Free program to your daily life
So that’s the four pieces of our Breaking Free puzzle, four pieces that will come together to create an alcohol free lifestyle that you love..
Apart from creating a program that will get results we’ve created a program that is flexible and will fit in with your busy lives….
All of the 1.2.1’s can be scheduled to suit your convenience, the online course can be worked through at your own pace so the only timeslot you need to fit in is the four hour Masterclass. (we can send you a recording if you can't make it)
While we’re on the subject of time that’s one of the unexpected benefits of sobriety….. when we no longer spend time drinking and recovering from the drinking we find ourselves with extra time on our hands….
As well as the energy to do something constructive with that time!
Registration for the current Breaking Free program is open - more info on tribesober.com

2. Choose "Search" from the bottom row of icons and enter the name of the show (Tribe Sober) into the search field.
3. Select the show under Shows (not under Episodes).
4. Scroll down past the first few episodes until you see Ratings & Reviews.
5. Click "Write a Review" underneath the displayed reviews from other listeners. You'll then have the option to rate the show on a 5-star scale, and write a review (you can rate without writing, too but it's always good to read your experience).
