Cynthia had been to rehab, but fell back into occasional drinking and was stuck in a very unhealthy and stressful loop of drinking and quitting. One day she had an "ah-ha" moment. She likes to call it her” nerdy moment of enlightenment”. In short, She was reading about some research in self-compassion and it quite literally changed her life on the spot. She was able to start practicing self-compassion, set a sober date, stick to it and she’s never looked back.

Today Cynthia is an international speaker, author, researcher, and founder of InnerAlly, a company building tools, courses and mobile apps to improve mental wellness. She has extensive experience in learning and behavior change and has been developing mental health technologies since 2009. Her background in pharmacology and neuroscience help her create programs and products for effective health behavior change.

Cynthia is on a mission to tell people about the power of self-compassion to support their recovery and to help prevent relapse.

Dan is a social media and digital content guru for HiHo.  He has worked for JibJab, ABC News, NowThis News and other well-known organization.

In 2018 Dan was in a horrible car crash where he was pushed off the highway by a hit-and-run by a driver who was under the influence, which left his wife with brain damage. 2 years later he was asked by his mother’s sister to help her write a book about her lessons in long term recovery from heroin use. Dan has been passionate about sharing new solutions because addiction affects everyone…quite literally everyone.

These stories are what prompted him to do what he does today, which is as digital content leader to prompt people to check-in daily on the new Sober Together app which allows people to ask for support from others who have been through it, on a video message platform. Dan has been working with the team behind Sober Together on and off for 15 years. They're known for building innovative technology that connects people, and for the last two years the team has been focused on building apps where people can send public video messages in communities based on shared interests. Support networks have proven to be the most powerful application of this technology!

I was welcomed by Dan as a member of the community, and I have to say it is real, raw, unique and the connections I am making on the platform are deeper than ones I’ve made in years.
