Hello! Happy 4th of July week. What does Freedom mean to you? And I am not talking about our country's freedom, I am talking a personal kind of freedom. For me, it's freedom from alcohol.

This was such a FUN conversation! Daphne and I both grew up in Holland, MI, but went to different schools (Northside vs Southside of the town).

Like so many, Daphne was laid off during COVID, almost 30 years into working...

Welcome back! This episode dives deeper into Kristi's divorce and how because of what she went thru she decided she wanted to help other women. Kristi wasn't allowed to "bare it all" because of an agreement she signed with her ex, but I am here to tell you that her divorce was AWFUL, and in my opinion, the courts failed her. The entire system failed her. That being said, Kristi...

Kristi's story is like so many other moms -- yes her drinking started...

They are HUMBLE, knowing that at any time it could be taken away. 5. They live with JOY. H...

I was "in the closet" about my addiction for many reasons but when I was speaking with Judy and she asked if I wou...
