Girl, It's Time

Today I had the privilege of interviewing a fellow life coach, Sarah Braithwaite, on the topic of gut health and stress. Sarah knows a lot about gut health, but what I enjoyed most about this conversation was that she is not only well-rehearsed in the topic but has experienced everything first hand. Sarah shares her powerful story and she goes on to touch on how we too can take control of our gut health to ensure we thrive in the face of stress, with a few simple actionable's.

Today, we chat to Jen Clements; a sobriety coach with a beautiful story of reclaiming freedom in her personal life & then inspiring 100's of others to do the same!

In Jen's words: 'As someone who used to wish the day away until wine-o-clock, and who struggled to stop once I started, I’ve been there.' 

Jen shares her story with us as well as how her qualification as a lawyer led her to put her research skills to work and educate herself on all things alcohol, addiction and personal development.
