Episode 147

You Can Get Sober and Enjoy Life

I recorded a special episode to kick the year off with some honesty and encouragement for those who may think that getting sober will not be enjoyable.

I talk about the difference between quitting and taking a break and sharing a bit about what I experienced when I decided to stop drinking.

Also, what may be holding you back from going all to quitting drinking and taking it one day at a time.

Since right after the holiday, I've talked to many women at the end of their rope with drinking alcohol and are ready for a change. I'm honored to listen to the stories of women worldwide who experience a lot of what I went through and others. We are not alone.

2021 is the RISE of the Midlife Woman, and sobriety is a big component. We will forge ahead with a mission to ROCK our very best selves To 50 and Beyond!

Thank you for listening. I appreciate you!
