In this inspiring episode of The Begin Again Podcast, host Gary Menkes sits down with Keelie Allen, a sobriety and mindset coach whose powerful story of transformation is rooted in her personal battle with addiction. Keelie opens up about her journey from alcohol dependency and depression to a life of purpose, clarity, and self-love. During the height of the pandemic, a pivotal moment at a lockdown party forced her to confront the destructive cycle she was in. That realization set her on a path of change—and ultimately, recovery.

Keelie shares how she found strength in online sober communities and how embracing vulnerability and authenticity became her greatest tools in rebuilding her identity. Her story defies the traditional narrative of “rock bottom,” proving that transformation doesn’t have to follow a specific script. Instead, Keelie empowers others—especially women—to rewrite their own recovery journeys and embrace the sober curious lifestyle on their own terms.

From hiding behind alcohol to leading a thriving sober community, Keelie’s experience is a testament to what’s possible when we choose to begin again. If you’re seeking motivation, connection, or a reminder that healing is possible, this episode offers a powerful message of hope and self-discovery.
