This feels like a special episode because today I’m celebrating an entire year of being alcohol free. Sitting here in this same office, thinking about where I was last year, it’s wild. There is no way this happened. But it did.

I’m telling the whole truth. The freedom and the pain. The messy middle. The wins like running two 10Ks. Turning 40. Changing the way I parent. Growing my business. And I’m also sharing the parts that broke me wide open.

I thought I’d lose people. I did. I thought I’d be boring. I’m not. I thought people would hate me. They didn’t. I thought I didn’t belong in those rooms, and then I realized I didn’t belong in the drinking ones either.

This is about more than just not drinking. It’s about building a life I actually want to be present for. It's about peace. It's about feeling everything.

It's about finding out who I really am without the numbing alcohol that gave me. And if I can do this and make it through this year, I promise you can do anything too.

Let’s crack open that Diet Coke and cheer to ONE YEAR SOBER!
