On today’s episode, we host Melissa McGovern, creator of The Sober New Yorker podcast and Instagram. Melissa found her alcohol use ramping up during mid-life and ended up with a scary health diagnosis that led her to quit drinking altogether. She decided to become a sober living coach and make it her life’s mission to help other people take back control of their lives. Many in our Type C community struggle with alcohol and substance use issues and will find Melissa’s story and guidance valuable.
