Go somewhere. Be there.
Stories of traveling sober, recovery, and finding joy along the way.
My Philosophy
Go. Notice. Feel.
The Lion
The things that require me to be brave—to change, to surrender, to begin again. I have to be fearless enough to go.
The big experiences.
The Ladybug
The encounters I might have overlooked if I wasn't fully present. I have to be still enough to notice.
The little things.
The moments that make me feel alive.The Hummingbird
The experiences that remind me I'm here—and that I need to be free enough to enjoy the ride.
My story isn’t unique.
I hope sharing the good, bad, and sometimes ugly parts of navigating sobriety can help someone who's struggling, give courage to anyone who feels alcohol has too much control over their life, or simply offer a different perspective on what it means to live fully.
I'm still learning how to do all of those things, too. These stories are about the places I've gone, the things I've tried, and the moments—big and small—that have taught me to be a little more present in my own life.
Sobriety is the lens through which I tell them. Being alive is what they're really about.
