Describe something our readerbook, Alcohol-Free, Straight up with a Twist. A 101 Day Journey Toward Easy Sobriety:

In my book, I slowly uncover a realization that forever changed my life. I found my sobriety was unlike most people’s. My sobriety was easy. Once I discovered the disparity between my experience and many other people’s, I began seeking ways to articulate the difference. I want people to begin their journey believing it can be easy and not a lifelong sentence of recovery and addiction. I am sharing my experience in the hopes of helping others find success in sobriety.

1. Be honest with yourself and know what you want.

2. Create income streams from your investments to have opportunities to enjoy retirement.

3. Spend time with people who make you happy. That is so incredibly important in life.

~Will you share a client success story?

I’d love to. A client of mine has a sailboat and has about 15,000 a month worth of expenses in retirement. Him and his wife love traveling, spending time with their children and being on their boat. I was able to create income streams from their investments that could possibly last their lifetime and allow them to have the freedom and flexibility to choose how they want to live their lives.

~Share something you are passionate about:

I am very passionate about writing. I took a long break from writing, about seven years, due to personal reasons. Sobriety gave me a reason to write again. Now, it is my life’s goal and mission to write professionally, full time. It is also my hope to write creatively as well. A perfect dream would be to have a non-fiction and fiction best seller. 

~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?

I write a bi-weekly blog about sobriety and mindfulness. I started writing the blog to keep me accountable in my sobriety, but it has now become part of who I am and what I do. I love connecting with like-minded people and seeing how we can help each other in different ways based on what we bring to the table. I do a podcast about my blogs, as well as videocast interviews with people in the sober community. It is my hope to spread the sobriety word to as many people as I can.
