    Ashlee decides to try out a sober chapter (and loves it!)

    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:) Sol-beginnings.com https://www.instagram.com/sol_beginnings/

    Emily uses Ketamine therapy to conquer Bi-polar disorder AND Alcohol addiction

    Join me today to chat with Emily about her decision to use ketamine treatments to combat her Bi-polar disorder which also, in turn completely took away her craving for alcohol. I learned so much in this episode! Today she uses her voice in the space to squash stigmas associated with alternative treatments, which in my book makes her a total BadA$$! Check out her IG, website and Ketamine treatment FAQ: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KCDMdo7Gb5uTKxprC9hQNXQTuD9LP_6t/view?usp=share_link https://www.instagram.com/emilyjacobsencoaching/ https://www.emilyjacobsencoaching.com/

    Ryan celebrates his one year of sobriety and an amazing new life

    Today I am joined by my friend Ryan. After years of struggling with drinking it all came to a head with multiple trips to the hospital, his wife's ultimatum and a missed opportunity on a fishing trip with his son. On September 18th, 2023 he begrudgingly signed up for a virtual sober meeting group. 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. He's a BadA$$ in every sense of the word! https://www.instagram.com/weber.m.ryan/ https://sobermotivation.mn.co/about
