Hi, I'm Libby!
My Story
I grew up as the youngest of four with divorced parents and felt relatively lost most of my upbringing. I was unsure how to cope at such a young age so I always buried myself in schoolwork and extracurricular activities, making my early years academically and socially successful. It wasn’t until my late teenage years that I began experimenting with alcohol, and quickly learned it was the answer to my quest in finding something that made me feel free from the deep routed pain I felt for years past.
Throughout my twenties, I bartended my way through college and consuming alcohol just became a secondary way of life. It wasn't until my mid-thirties that I began spiraling. Drinking a gallon of bourbon a week, chasing the false happiness, numbing out and escaping my true reality became my everyday life. Knowing I wanted more for myself, I began exercising, adopted a vegan diet, and started journaling and meditating to better my mental health. Although this helped on the surface, it was not enough. In my last ditch effort to change, I finally decided to give up alcohol, hoping to break the cycle of drinking because I was depressed and feeling depressed because I was drinking!
Now more than two years into my sobriety journey, I have learned that consuming alcohol was the primary reason I was stuck in the first place! Learning so much about myself throughout this process has enabled me to find the confidence I always had within. Now that I am living a sober life and practicing my seven key wellness habits consistently I took myself from crying to crushing it, and I am so thrilled to share my knowledge and experiences to help you do the same!
