Chaos in a Mason Jar: Rebuilding a Life After Alcohol

from The Sober New Yorker · host Melissa McGovern

Erica is a chef, homesteader, and founder of Chaotic Canning Co.—a small-batch canning company and apothecary she built from the ground up after nearly losing her life to organ failure caused by years of alcohol abuse and burnout. Sobriety forced her to slow down and rebuild everything—her health, her purpose, and her identity. Today, she shares her story to show that healing doesn’t have to look perfect—sometimes it looks like chaos in a mason jar.Follow Erica:https://www.instagram.com/chaoticcanning.co/https://chaoticcanning.com/
