SHARING OUT LOUD

THANK YOU DUPE for a wonderful chat for the Sharing Out Loud Podcast! So much has changed since I got Sober a year before the Pandemic hit -- now there is so much more than AA available to help people live a life without alcohol. About my guest: Dupe spent many years drinking, as that’s what society and being in the corporate world had told her was normal. She realized she wasn’t enjoying it and i...

Happy Holidays everyone! Rather than uploading a guest episode yesterday I thought I would come on and do a little mini episode after conversations with 2 amazing women, Dupe Witherick, author of A COCKTAIL of Clarity and wellness coach,  and Lindsay Sutherland Boal, founder of She Walks Canada, an organization that is changing the world by empowering women to change their relationship to alcohol....

She's back! And she brought a friend! @happy-healthy-mommyoffour (Wendy Green) and @ocrmommy_cynthia (Cynthia Counts) came to Chicago for a Hyrox competition and that meant I got to meet them in person AND record another podcast with Wendy, this time focusing on how she went from a mom who had completely lost herself, to a competitive athlete! Cynthia was going to sit and just listen but I am...

Andy Matthews is a WARRIOR! While her life and her marriage weren't always perfect, no one could have prepped her for what was about to go down when her husband told her their marriage was over. Nothing could have prepared Andy for the lies, the deceit, the gaslighting, that was to come with the (ongoing) divorce. Is this an episode of True Crime? The more into the conversation we got, it fel...

Meet Bunny! A Scottish Ordained Interfaith Reverend, Prosperity Teacher, Mother Manifester, Somatic Embodiment Coach, Enneagram Mentor, and more... Bunny and I met through a course with Cathy Heller (a spiritual & business coach and podcaster). Bunny was the first woman to be called upon to have Cathy help her with some self-doubts she had been struggling with and from the moment Bunny came up...

Well, this was so much fun! A few weeks ago a group of women got together to discuss SEX, specifically the importance of women's sexual pleasure and why we need to start owning it! And how important it is to empower girls at an early age. We are sexual beings and we deserve more than what society has pounded into our brains -- it's not ladylike to talk about sex/pleasure, that a man&apos...

There is no greater agony than bearing the story untold in you.  ~Maya Angelou Jenese (aka JeeJee, Jee) and I have known each other for a LONG TIME. She and I immediately connected working for the same company, probably because we are both a little "extra" and she knew how to "handle" me, LOL. But the reality is, she embraced that I am passionate in all that I do, and I embrace...

Well hello again! I decided to take the recording from an Instagram Live conversation Kristi, Tiffany, and I had a few days ago. Whether you are worried about mom judgment for NOT drinking while Trick Or Treating, or judgment from family members over Thanksgiving and Christmas, or other Holidays observed, you will want to give this a listen! And guess what folks, this isn't just for us addict...

You know how sometimes things are just meant to happen? That is how Alexandra and I met. Alexandra works with a woman I have known since I was 4 years old (Nicole Rhea) and one day the two happened to do a ride-along together for business and Alexandra told Nicole about her sobriety... and Nicole mentioned my podcast and then reached out to me and said Alexandra and I had to connect. So yeah, that...

Another unexpected conversation... funny how that happens when two women get together and share their stories💖. Kiki Hurwitt is a powerhouse I found on the gram. I reached out to her because, at 53 (my age), I was dying to know how she transformed herself into the healthy, happy, BUFF woman she is today! I wanted to know the story behind the face I saw staring out at me in her before photos from...

I "met" Kelly thru insta (of course) and what a cool conversation this was! You might be thinking, "yet another mom with an alcohol addiction" but that just says you don't know what an epidemic this is! AND how freaking hard it is to overcome. Kelly has done the work! Not only has she done it, she continues to do it because getting sober and staying sober is an effort and...

Meet Wendy Green! This conversation was NOT what I was expecting😲. Who I thought I was going to talk with was a top 10 (in her age group) Spartan Racer, and she is! But what was shared/uncovered was a story of one woman's resilience...  teen mom putting herself through college, PPD (postpartum depression), suicidal thoughts, rocky marriage... until one day she heard about a mom's walkin...

When I first met Anna she was a drinker, but so was I, only I think I might have hid it a little better, or not🙄. I thought she might have a problem but she was(is) younger than me and who was I to judge how much people drank! I mean, we worked in advertising and alcohol was a part of our daily life. Parties in the office, happy hours, parties for Holidays, entertaining clients, you name it, ther...

Are you experiencing BRAIN FOG? Mood swings? Hot Flashes? Weight Gain? General feelings of things just being off? Then this episode is for you! Don't think you have to be IN menopause for you to start experiencing symptoms.
