Today I am sitting down with Ashlee. We dive into her parents divorce and her Mom's subsequent alcohol use. A health scare and hospital stay for her Mother began the little nudge inside of her that said "maybe it would be good to take a break from alcohol". Her journey has taken some twists and turns and has ultimately led her to become a fellow BadA$$ alcohol free success and mindset coach.

Be sure to give her a follow and download her "22 Day Alcohol Free Guide".

She also has an alcohol free group coaching cohort starting up this month.

Get through the Holidays WITHOUT feeling like Sh*t! Sounds good to me:)

Today he celebrates his one year and has not only become an active member of that group, but also leads his own peer led meetings at Sober Motivation.

We're taking things in a slightly different direction today.

Join me as I sit down with Jackson as he discusses why he made the decision at a very young age to never pick up a drink. Growing up, he saw first hand the very ugly, unglamourous and unsafe side of drinking. As a gay kid, he was constantly harassed and knew that altering his state with drugs and alcohol would only make him more susceptible to bullying. Today he teaches public NYC students that there is another option and that saying NO to drugs/alcohol can not only be empowering but can also lead to an extremely fulfilled and FUN life.

I loved this chat so much and I hope you will too!

***There is talk of suicide in this episode***

Join me today as I reflect on all the incredible ways my life has changed since ditching the booze a year ago. There are SO many! Maybe you're thinking of doing the same?

Let's connect and talk about it. Be sure to subscribe to my website and newsletter. I have a free 30 day guide to getting started living the life you've always dreamed of.

Let's be BadA$$es!!!
