Women who are changing the conversation around what it means to live a full life. This was a dynamic (and beautiful) space full of women who are using their unique stories to set the platform for mental health wellness and addiction recovery.

From the coining of the term sober curious to sober inclusive drinking events at work, we are making waves!
