I'm just a normal girl in her mid-forties that has never been married or had kids, just quit her 23 year career in Corporate Accounting to become an entrepreneur in health & wellness and an author.  What do you mean that's not normal?! By old school standards my life has been abnormal, at best.  By my standards it's been a helluva ride and I'm grateful to be here. On Labor Day 2016, with the support and encouragement of my bestie, I quit drinking alcohol cold turkey.  Enough was Enough. From that moment on I have been choosing joy.
​
I was sexually abused as a child, alcoholism began at age 13 and was an every day thing from ages 17-38.  The longest I went without alcohol was 5 days when I had the flu.  Otherwise, there would be the occasional 2-day hangover after a bender, but most often I drank 5-10 drinks daily and peed my pants unintentionally about 9,487 times during that 21 year stint.  Probably fine since I was earning six figures a year and considered a valuable employee. Because that's all people seem to care about - how much money you earn - NBD that you drink a bottle of wine alone most nights when you get home from the bar (if there's not a random dude with you, then he will help you drink it).

​

When I got sober I needed something to fill my time...and I quickly realized that I didn't know what I liked to DO outside of drinking (and sports but as an adult sports = drinking). I had a whole lot of self-discovery ahead of me. The endless world of clean living sort of fell into my lap, and it's like layers of an onion that you keep peeling back while literally crying. How could I possibly have not known ALL OF THIS?! 6.5 years later, I'm still peeling back those layers, and I'm ready to share!
