This week on the pod Mandy chats with Chris Marshall from @sans_bar Chris Marshall is the owner and founder of Sans Bar, an alcohol free space and community based in Austin, Texas. He has been alcohol free since February 16, 2007.  Chris started working as Substance Use counselor at Integral Care in 2009 and witnessed his clients struggle to remain abstinent from alcohol after they exited treatment. He created Sans Bar in 2017 with the belief that everyone deserves a safe, sober, and inclusive environment where they can authentically connect with others. Chris identifies as a person who is thriving despite a mental health diagnosis, and is an advocate for mental health across North America. This is a brilliant uplifting chat about thriving despite adversity, looking for the fun and sparkle in life and working from your authentic self. It's a great chat. So grab a cuppa and let's chat. Love M & K xxxx
