Summary

You guys, my best friend Katy is here. We’re talking about sobriety, parenting, and everything in between. You’ll hear about our early drinking days, her sobriety story, the beauty of sober concerts, and what she calls her ‘playful rebellion’ now that her children have all reached their teen years.

Katy is featured heavily in my upcoming book, The Sober Shift! Pre-order now for three free mocktail recipes and access to my pre-order launch Zoom in October! Plus, take a look at my events calendar for a book tour stop near you. I would LOVE to meet you and thank you for being a part of this incredible community!

0:39.5	mentor. Your team learns about you or your kids' specific needs and develops an individualized
0:45.2	treatment plan that fits your goals, challenges, and lifestyle. Equip has no wait list, is covered by
0:51.7	most major insurance plans, and is designed to fit into your busy schedule.
0:56.9	If you're concerned that you or your child might be struggling with an eating disorder, know that

1:42.0	I will be having candid, honest, funny conversations with other moms who have also thought, hmm, maybe motherhood is better without alcohol. Is it possible? We'll chat and we'll talk about all things sobriety and how we've found freedom in sobriety. I don't consider myself an alcoholic.
2:03.3	You don't have to either.
2:05.1	Maybe life is brighter without alcohol.
2:08.4	I hope you will join us on this journey, and I'm so excited to get started.
