In this blog, I share my experience at Sober in the City and with being a coach to incredible people making positive ripples out there in the great wide open. Stay tuned for more details about the next Sober in the City Event in Scottdale, AZ, May 2025. Spoiler alert: You're Invited!
There will be many ways to connect, including an exclusive Ditched the Drink Insider opportunity. To make friends before you get there, I recommend joining the Insider Community. Many attendees said this was the ticket to feeling more comfortable upon arrival.

Speaking of coach training, this week's podcast episode has guest Shelly Anne McKay. Shelly Anne is the Director of Coach Credentialing and Certification with the International Association for Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC). In this role, she trains and mentors hundreds of addiction recovery coaches globally, contributing to the highest standards in recovery coaching worldwide. She is also my coach, mentor, colleague, and friend.
This episode is on food addiction. I was shocked to hear the children's snack (and my personal hangover food) Goldfish crackers is owned by Big Tobacco. Is there an industry more interested in targeting people to get hooked šŖand the sooner the better?
Shelly Anne shares the alarming facts about food addiction and how we can recover. Who among us hasn't used food for comfort, celebration, and release?
This is a layered and complicated issue for most women. Listen here or anywhere you listen to podcasts. Thank you for sharing with your friends too. I love seeing the 5-star ratings and glowing reviews! š If you haven't left one yet, you are not too late, I am still accepting all positive feedback. š
I am thrilled that the episode, Like a Prayer from my hometown pastor with little to no social media following is one of the most played episodes.
Today I am interviewing an award-winning (Emmy, Golden Globe) actress. OMG. I'm not even going to try to keep to my cool. I am definitely going to freak out.
Reach out if you have a topic you'd like me to explore, a story you'd like to share, or if you are seeking some support in sobriety, community, career, and life.
I got you, Babe. šš¼
XO!
