Katie Garry is the founder and CEO of Seek, the first at-home lab test that measures how alcohol impacts women’s health. Before starting Seek, Katie spent years trying to understand how alcohol impacted her own health.

After working her way through the traditional healthcare system, booking dozens of specialist appointments and spending thousands of dollars on medical bills, she ended up with more questions than answers, and decided to do something about it.
Seek measures how alcohol impacts our health the same way we use fitness trackers to monitor things like our heart rate, glucose levels and menstrual cycle. Katie founded Seek with the belief that it should be easy and affordable for every woman to get information about how alcohol impacts her health and track how it changes over time.

No surprise medical bills, no confusing lab reports, no struggling to fit in a doctor's appointment, and definitely no gaslighting. Just actionable insights, unique to our own bodies, on our own timelines.
Before building Seek, Katie spent over a decade working in marketing with brands like Modern Fertility (acquired by Ro) and Mirror (acquired by Lululemon). She started her career researching and writing about issues related to women’s health for Prevention magazine.

Katie has a B.S. in journalism and minor in creative writing from the University of Colorado at Boulder. In her free time, you can find her on a yoga mat or walking around her neighborhood in Brooklyn with her dog, Polly.Take the Seek Quiz today and use code: sobahsistahs30 to receive 30% OFF

Grab the tissues for this one.

I sit down with Azure, the creator of sober.chronicles.

Azure is a mom, a wife, a hospice nurse and a sobriety advocate.

Azure recently hit 18 months of sobriety. Yay!

Her main inspiration that led her to examining her own relationship with alcohol, came after losing her little sister, Karenza, at only 29 years due to complications of liver failure.

"The kindest, funniest, clumsiest soul I have ever known suffered so silently that nobody, and I mean NOBODY knew. You would have never guessed when she walked into a room with her infectious smile and laugh.

She suffered from anxiety and insomnia and tried everything in her power to just try to sleep. Using prescription and over the counter sleep aids, in addition to wine, she tried desperately to calm her mind and rest.

But her liver couldn't handle it. She woke up one morning in full-fledged liver failure and battled it for 5 months before she died.

This entire account, all of the effort I put into making sure this doesn't keep happening to people, is to honor my sister. I will continue to educate about the harms of alcohol. I will continue to advocate for sobriety.

I will continue to use scare tactics if I have to.

Because this shit is REAL. And alcohol should scare you.
ESPECIALLY if it's used in conjunction with any type of anxiety medication and/or Tylenol PM.

I recover out loud so nobody like Karenza has to die in silence.

If you are struggling, PLEASE reach out. You are not alone.

You don't have to do this alone.

You are loved."

Shelly-Anne opens up about her journey with food addiction, sharing how it became her initial struggle before alcohol and drugs.
