ABOUT ME

I’ve been a lot of things in my life: a social worker, an educator, an activist, and a researcher. No matter what I did (or how bad my drinking was), I was always a writer, too.

After I gave up alcohol, I decided to tell the story of what happened to me. My hope is that Big Sober Energy will help other people believe what for years I could not: It is possible for you to quit drinking and actually enjoy being sober!

Other things you might want to know about me…

• I help women and nonbinary people over 40 navigate recovery with power, intention, and joy.

• I am a certified meditation and yoga teacher. Meditation is my passion and the most important tool in my sober toolbox.

• I live in the Coachella Valley in Southern California on land belonging to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.

• I married the love of my life at 42.

• I am a podcaster, a pescatarian, and a practicing witch.

• I played competitive roller derby for years (shout out to Emerald City) and have the injuries to prove it.

• Helping people believe that sobriety is possible for them is my passion!
