Kerri shares her personal journey from alcoholism towards sobriety and the process of starting a successful cleaning business with her partner Peter, while also discussing the impact of abusive past relationships on her struggles.

About Kerri & Peter

For years ago Kerri was living in a fog.

Kerri didn't know what her purpose on this planet might be, or how to live a life that made her happy. Her drinking had gotten out of control and it felt like the only thing that helped her cope with reality - but it wasn't making anything better.

We talk about her journey from being an alcoholic to successful cleaning business owner, happily married, and rekindling her relationship with her loved ones. Kerri decided to stop drinking without an ultimatum from Peter and to tell you there is hope! You can find recovery if you are willing to put in the work.

Here are a few links to what Kerri is working on:
