About this episode

Join me at home this week as I reflect on my trip to Utah and chat to you about some thoughts I had around change, chapters in our life, seizing adventure in life and perspectives on “failure”. I also wanted to take some time in this episode to give you some practical tips and advice from my own journey to become alcohol-free as I know so many of you are sober curious, I hope this helps. 


Always hope, friends.
