Living vs. Performing — and Why I’m Choosing to Live

Hi Friend, I’ve been a little quieter lately. Less posting.Less scrolling.Less reactive to the noise. And more living. Over the past few weeks, I stepped away from almost everything—including social media—and traveled, rested, and wandered, letting myself exist without documenting it. Without pac...

I Made Changes After Listening to You

Hi Friend, As spring gets closer, I’ve been thinking a lot about the first 90 days we walked through together on the INSIDE. Not just the milestones…but the quiet moments. The early mornings when someone posted,"I made it through last night." The afternoons when another woman replied,"Me too. We’...

What My Keynote Taught Me About Becoming the Woman I Want to Be

I am so proud of myself. Not just for my keynote, but for how I showed up before, during, and after. Because if I’m honest… I don’t know if I’ve ever done anything like that before. And I want to remember it. I want to take these lessons with me. So I’m sharing them with you, because maybe you’re...

Less scrolling. More real-life connection.

In December 2025,I made a promise to myself… To build my sober community in real life. More connection.Less scrolling. Because while the internet can introduce us and inspire us…Nothing replaces the feeling of being in the same room together. Real conversations.Real laughter.Real connection. And ...

A special invite: come watch me practice my keynote 🎤

Hi Friend, I want to share something a little different with you today. Soon, I’ll be speaking at a conference and delivering a keynote about the journey from surviving to thriving—the story of the night I left a glass of wine half full on the table and chose a different life. It’s a story about ...

Leaving the glass half full: an invitation (and a new season ahead)

Hi Friend, In 2018, I sat at a white-linen table on a random Tuesday night—Frank Sinatra humming in the background—across from my husband, Darin. Between us was a glass of wine. Half full. From the outside, my life looked “good.” But inside? I felt exhausted, disconnected, and quietly terrified t...

I’m scared—and I’m showing up anyway

There’s a moment that happens before every big shift. It’s quiet.It’s subtle.And it usually looks like a credit card form, a registration page, or a calendar invite. It’s the moment you decide: I’m going to take myself seriously. Lately, I’ve been practicing that in real time. I said yes to hosti...

How I Navigated My Daughter’s 21st Birthday (With Love, Presence, and Zero Alcohol)

Hi Friend, Last weekend, my daughter turned 21. And I want to share something tender and real with you. I love her. I love her friends.And her relationship with alcohol is not the same as mine. That matters. I didn’t go into the birthday weekend celebration with expectations. I went in with love....

Why Leave the House?

For no particular reason at all, Palm Springs started calling my name. I began following desert sunsets and Joshua Tree National Park on Instagram. Somewhere between scrolling and dreaming, I realized what I truly missed. As a solopreneur and founder of Ditched the Drink (DTD), I missed the trave...

Sober on the Worst Days

Hi Friend, Last Friday, I hosted my first LIVE Yoga Nidra for the Insider Community. No cameras.No performing.Just rest. Before we dropped in, I offered a simple sankalpa: I am at peace.I am safe in this moment.I am supported.I am not alone. Afterward, I headed to the gym for yoga. I could feel m...

This is what happens when women gather (and no one talks about wine🍷 )

Hi Friend, Last week, I went from sauna to cold plunge for 90 minutes with 20 women. Some were friends, others were Insider Community members, and many were strangers. And not one of us talked about calories.Or wine.Or how we “should” be doing better. Instead, we talked about: ✨ Resources for a...

When Rage Surprises You

I had the most wonderful week in Naples, Florida, with my family. Sun.Salt air.Slow mornings.The kind of trip you’re supposed to feel nothing but grateful for. And then something happened that I want to tell you about—it’s a little personal. I got in a small tiff with my husband in front of the k...
