Firstly, I am so excited that you’ve clicked on this blog post because this is one activity and topic that lights me up to talk about! GOAL setting, it gets me so inspired! So, what is a vision board? When I make my vision boards they are simply a visual representation of my goals, values, the things that inspire me and all that I aspire to be.

I donated, sold and threw out so many items in our home which were stored away but ..read more

Since I shared my story behind the reason for me living a sober, alcohol free life in 2017 I have received hundreds of messages and emails from women reaching out, seeking support. The reason for this blog post is because I wanted to offer a resource to those who may not want to reach out. But also for those of you who’ve reached out in the past, or perhaps you are wanting to support a loved one, perhaps you want to cut down on your drinking before you form a negative behaviour. For whatever reason you’ve arrived here, I hope you gain something. I’ve been sober for 5 years, my decision to give ..read more
