Hi everyone. I'm Stephanie Wilder Taylor. Welcome to Drunkish, my podcast about sobriety. I love to hear other people's stories and share experiences. And today is no exception. I have an amazing guest. Her name is Anna David. She's a New York Times bestselling author of

eight books. She's the founder of Legacy Launchpad, which writes and publishes books for

entrepreneurs. She also hosts behind the book cover podcast, and she's the co-host of Sober Living Podcast.

She's just a sober rock star, you guys.

What can I say?

Here she is. And here we are with Anna David. I'm really excited to talk to you.

I'm super excited to talk to you always.

Can I remind you of I feel like this came up when we first met. It is. And it's all going to come back around when we talk about your story.

But many years ago, you were an editor. You know where I'm going with this. I know where you're

going. Yes. I don't even know if you know the full story, but you know where you're going. Yes. Yes.

I don't even know if you know the full story, but you tell from your POV.

Well, you eventually told me the full story.

But what happened is I wrote an article for a website called The Fix.

I don't think I didn't know you or the person who owned the website at the time. I was just tasked with writing like my story.

I wrote an article.

It got rewritten.

It got very rewritten in a way that was not even my voice.

I've never had something so changed out of my voice, wasn't run by me. It was just

changed. It was given a very salacious title. It made me sound like a mom that should get arrested.

And then it was published that way and I was really upset. With also a photo of you and your adorable children, like, it didn't go, but I wouldn't, as a mother,

I would not want that.

Remember, it was just, they were so cute and it was like against the headline.
