You must get her book! https://www.intoxicatinglies.com/ Today, we’ll be diving deep into Intoxicating Lies by Maegan Geisewite, a powerful narrative that challenges the conventional perceptions of alcohol use. Maegan bravely shares her personal experiences with drinking and uncovers the societal myths that keep many of us trapped in our relationship with alcohol. Her book fills a vital gap for those navigating the complexities of their drinking—neither fully embracing sobriety nor oblivious to the impacts of their choices. Join me as we explore these important topics and discuss how confronting the intoxicating lies about alcohol can lead us to a more authentic and liberated life.

Today, I sit down with DeAnna. What a delight to be taken on a journey with her through her first exposure to drinking and through a time of being a mom, then the party mom, and the tragedy that ensued. There were good times, as life with alcohol can offer temporarily, and the undignified end. One thing is for sure: DeAnna did the most courageous thing a person can do. She reached out for help and is now a walking symbol of integrity. She now shares a serene and happy life. Whether it's kayaking on the water with some AA friends, enjoying time with her loving husband, children, and many friends. AA has been a central part of her recovery, and after speaking with her and getting to know her a little better, it has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you, DeAnna. I'm looking forward to staying in touch. Much Love

Join the Sober and free Facebook group today and meet some of my guests: https://www.facebook.com/groups/902390674385986 Today I sat down with one of our members, Johnny Savic. He is a father of 3 and genuinely devoted! He started drinking the way most of us do. We are social creatures, so it's the most natural thing to drink socially in our society, but like so many of us, he found himself taking it to another level; in fact, he took it to the brink of suicide. Thankfully, he thought of his kids and clung to life; however, it wasn't until the law caught up with him that it sobriety was able to take hold. He chose life and the choice for Love.  Now he beams with it, and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.  For incredible skin, make sure to check out my favourite Korean skincare brand, RIMAN.

I sat down today with Phil Jordan, whose life is unrecognizable from just a few short years ago. In fact; "6 years ago, I made a promise to myself: no more alcohol. I didn’t know what the future would look like. I just knew I wanted — needed — something different. Today, I’m standing here with a heart full of gratitude, reflecting on a life that has become more beautiful than I ever thought possible." -and it shows! I learned a few very practical mindsets myself today and thoroughly enjoyed speaking with him.

This week, I had the privilege of chatting with one of my mentors, Janet Gourand, CEO and founder of the Tribe Sober Community platform and the Host of the Tribe Sober Podcast. This online community was where I pushed off from her boot camp, coaching workshops, and Breaking Free programs, not to mention online Zoom Cafes and chat groups, which had eluded me for 19 years: long-lasting and sustainable sobriety and freedom from alcohol. I've also been able to apply her methods to other areas of my life including getting the podcast on the air. I enjoyed our chat very much and if you would like to connect with Janet directly, you can do so at Janet@tribesober.com Find her podcast TRIBE SOBER on Spotify and visit her website for membership at www.tribesober.com 

I was scrolling through my Facebook group, SOBER AND FREE and for some reason, I happened upon Gordon's sobriety stay of 27 years. When I saw that he had really made a success for himself in the music business, not easy, and was open to talking to me, I invited him to be a guest on the cast. Images of Eden, his Faith band,  is a fearless concept band that brings together familiar, well-loved elements of metal and rock combined with their own unique vision, message, and delivery. And it's just great music. Check out Images of Eden on Spotify and before that, enjoy my chat with their lead singer today on Sober and Free.
