Jenn is a speaker, coach, and author of Look Alive, Sis, and has supported hundreds of thousands of women in choosing clarity, presence, and freedom. She’s also my new personal hero and friend. We talk about what happens when a woman wakes up inside her own life and decides she’s done with the quiet compromise of grey-area drinking.

In this episode, we get right into it, discussing: What happens when you realize drinking isn’t ruining your life… but it is shrinking itWhat grey-area drinking actually looks like (and why so many women live here)The detox-to-retox cycle that keeps many high-functioning women stuckHow sober curiosity offers a gentler, more powerful path to recoveryThe 3 practical tools and a gorgeous frame-work Jenn teaches to navigate cravings and wine-o’clock moments and create a life you actually loveThis is by far my favorite interview on Girls Who Recover and I love that it’s the last.

I’m joined by Charlotte Jukes—former ICU nurse, transformational coach, and host of Pickleball & Partnership—for a powerful, honest conversation about loss, achievement, addiction, and what it actually takes to heal without abandoning yourself. Charlotte shares her story of losing her mother at a young age, becoming a mother while grieving, and carrying the unspoken belief that she had to be strong, capable, and self-sufficient at all costs.
