Get to know me

Hey, I'm Sara.

I’m a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend, and for a long time, I was also someone who quietly struggled with alcohol.

I’m in my 30s and over five years alcohol-free. Choosing to live without alcohol didn’t magically fix my life, but it gave me something better: clarity and courage. It gave me the ability to dream again, and the motivation to actually go after those dreams.

Why I'm here.

I started this blog because blogs like this helped me when I needed it most. Late nights. Early sobriety. The in-between space where you’re not drinking anymore but you’re not quite sure who you are yet either. Reading real stories from real women made me feel less alone. If this space can do that for even one person, it’s worth it.

I’m not an expert, a therapist, or even remotely qualified to be preaching to you outside of the experience I have from having lived it. I believe that sometimes life is beautiful, sometimes it’s exhausting, and sometimes it just plain sucks, and that all of that is normal.

When I’m not spreading my sober life propaganda all over the internet, you can usually find me spending time with my family, cooking, working out, drinking way too much coffee, or dreaming up new ideas. I care deeply about showing up for the people in my life and about creating spaces where honesty feels safe.

Giving back is why this blog exists. Recovery gave me my life back. Sharing it feels like the least I can do.

If you’re here, I’m really glad you found your way.
