Liquid Camouflage: Using Alcohol to Cope with Infertility and Depression, with Maureen Benkovich

My guest today, Maureen Benkovich, reinvented herself as a 'party girl' in order to hide the pain of infertility. While her friends were getting pregnant and starting families, Maureen was experiencing the trauma of multiple miscarriages and a failed adoption. In our candid conversation, Maureen recounts the moment when she decided alcohol would keep her from being the 'sad friend' that others pitied; instead, she would be 'the fun friend' who was always up for a good time.  Maureen's story is one of isolation and pain and by sharing her own darkness, she is helping other women step out from the shadows. Maureen is now alcohol-free, a certified This Naked Mind coach and is happily no longer struggling with anxiety or taking antidepressants!  Maureen Benkovich, also known as SoberFitChick is a compassionate life coach who helps individuals reevaluate their relationship with alcohol and break free from the cycle of guilt and shame.  With personal experience overcoming depression and the challenges of infertility, she knows firsthand the struggles and traps that can come with the drinking cycle. She is passionate about using her training as a TNM coach and her  own journey to inspire and guide others towards lasting change.   Full Show Notes Here
