I'm so happy to share this episode with my good friend, Michelle Winder. Michelle is a mom to two beautiful girls and wife to a wonderful husband. She is just three years shy of being sober and loves to exercise and be a boss!

In this episode, we talk about Michelle's journey to getting sober and what her drinking looked like before she quit. We also talk about her love of fitness and lifting weight and how that love led her to her new business as a Beachbody Coach.

Michelle and I talk about the MLM business and network marketing and her doubts before she decided to join. If you have ever questions network marketing and are thinking of getting involved, this is a great episode for you!

Michelle has been an entrepreneur, a small business owner and is always aspiring to do better ~ she loves life! Her love of fitness led to her new business as a Beachbody Coach. Michelle coaches other women to reach their full potential in their health and fitness.

Michelle has encouraged so many through her daily social media; one of her favorite things is helping and inspiring others. She has a huge heart and wants everyone to feel that they belong and are the best versions of themselves.

Michelle practices gratitude daily and loves to cook! She also loves spending time in her backyard and practice meditation. She say's her yard has all of the things ~ water, wind chimes, big beautiful trees and colorful flowerbeds.

Michelle's favorite saying is "progress not perfection," and she practices t in all areas of her life!

In this Sitch (situation) on Saturday I'm talking about what recovery means to me in the middle of life and how I reached the point of letting go of alcohol at forty-five.

When this episode airs, I will be celebrating five years of sobriety from alcohol! I also share my realization that I'm not only in recovery from chardonnay, but binge-eating, and panic attacks.

This is my story of recovery.

Alex Talbot Bio:

I embarked on my journey towards healthy living life large, or healthyXXL, the moment of my rebirth on April 22, 2017. This is my broader journey, which encompasses my many journeys: recovery, spiritual, transformation, weight loss, fitness and odaat mom journeys. After 28 years of substance abuse, my burning desire to change my life's course has me in the best mental, physical and spiritual health of my life at the age of 39.

For me, recovery is a workout, so I work out my recovery day in and out. Recovery is a lifestyle, and it's my life and style now, fully adopting clean living right down to the food I eat. Fitness and nutrition, along with my program, have proven viable approaches in my recovery. I always say, brain fit, body fit and spirit fit, can't have one without the other. In addition, it's not about the weight I lost, but the life I've gained, nor am I on a diet, but a lifestyle change.

Another recovery win is my newfound passion for health and life coaching, helping others affect life-lasting and sustainable habit, or lifestyle, changes as well. I truly believe my Higher Power has gifted me with this calling, which I'm currently pursuing by way of my certification and business. I'm not only addicted to bettering myself, but equally addicted to helping others better themselves, reaching their optimal health and wellness goals, and together attaining our best possible versions and leading vibrant, conscious and thriving lives.

My cometh, a power greater than myself; my why, my amazingly beautiful almost 11-year-old daughter, who deserves the best version of me, a role model and present mother; and, my how, all of you trudging towards healthy living life large with me.

For the past four years, I have experienced an increase in vaginal dryness which causes burning and itching and makes me feel like I'm going crazy!  What I have found is my "flare-ups" are lessened by my nutrition and some other over the counter products that I use. 

This is my experience with vaginal atrophy.  Please reach out to me and share your experience and what is working for you.
