But what shaped her into doing this deeply meaningful work?After developing what she describes as a dysfunctional relationship with alcohol, Sarah made the courageous decision to remove alcohol from her life in early 2019. Was it easy? No. Did she try more than once before it finally stuck? Absolutely. And that’s exactly what makes her story so relatable.Like so many women—especially moms—Sarah found herself caught in a culture where it felt socially acceptable (even expected) to turn children’s playdates into drinking dates. After all, moms “deserve” wine because moms do everything, right? 😲😁 If that resonates with you… You’re not alone. It certainly resonates with me, because that was my story too.Today, Sarah is doing extraordinary work helping women become the best versions of themselves—whether that means cutting back on alcohol, stopping altogether, navigating menopause, or taking an honest look at their lives and asking: How can I thrive, not just survive?Sarah works 1:1 with clients and also leads a powerful global online community on Facebook, The Women’s Wellbeing Collective 👉 https://www.facebook.com/groups/342319476897067Women are facing more challenges than ever before, and what we need now—more than anything—is a safe, supportive space where we can share our pain, our struggles, and our wins… and feel truly safe while doing it.And that is exactly what Sarah has createdYou can find Sarah in lots of places:on Instagram @sararusbatchher website https://sarahrusbatch.comon Amazon to purchase her book, Beyond Booze: https://a.co/d/hCcBBGZ
