"I’m a mother of five, a prominent quit lit writer, and an addiction recovery advocate living just outside Kansas City, Missouri. With twelve years of sobriety under my belt, I’ve transformed my personal journey into a beacon of hope for others. ​ Originally from Virginia, I was raised as a proper southern girl. However, life took a challenging and unexpected turn when I found myself struggling through the grips of a disease I knew little about- alcoholism. After an 8 year marriage and three beautiful children, a highly contentious and emotional divorce would ensue. My children stayed with their father while I went to rehab. My worst nightmares were coming true. My fears-all realized. Hope-there wasn’t any. Alcohol use disorder had taken over my life-but that wasn’t the end of my story-not by a long a shot. Thank God for second chances. ​ I’m inspired every day by my children—Sumner, Witt, Woods, Waylon, and Macklin—and the vibrant community around me. My husband, Matthew, has been my rock throughout this journey. I swear I love him more than the day I married him 12 years ago. Together, we’ve embraced the joy of sober living, proving that recovery is possible and life after addiction can be beautiful. ​ Join me on this journey as I continue to advocate for those in recovery and share my story to inspire and uplift others."
