Nearly 20 years sober, she often draws from her experiences with addiction, grief, motherhood, relationships, and rebuilding her life through adversity. Today on the show, we discuss: navigating divorce while your life is still unraveling, the conflict between motherhood and career, why community is essential for long-term sobriety, Rosebud’s rock-bottom moment and nearly 20 years in recovery, how to rebuild your life by stacking small wins, and what losing her sister taught her about grief, guilt, and becoming someone new and much more.
