Ep 14: Meet Michelle Smith: Living Out Loud Without Alcohol

Michelle Smith is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the founder of Recovery is the New Black, a digital community for women living or exploring an alcohol-free life. Michelle struggled for years with alcohol addiction that looked like “overdoing it.” In reality, she was drinking to escape the stresses of life ― and the “mommy juice” drinking culture was helping her self-destruct. Since getting sober in 2016, she has integrated both her personal experience in recovery and professional experience as a mental health and addiction advocates toward normalizing sobriety in our boozy culture.Michelle’s work has been featured on The Today Show, TEDx, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Scary Mommy, NBC, ABC, and more. Michelle lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and adorable dog.Connect with Michelle on Instagram @RecoveryIsTheNewBlack Please leave a podcast review; if you know someone that would be encouraged by this episode, please share it. Remember to subscribe and follow the show wherever you listen to podcasts to avoid missing new episodes.  You are loved.  Big Time Cheers!Send me a message about the show!
