I heard Jessie B, and I reached out right away to NUA (Never Use Alone https://neverusealone.com/)

Jessie is a registered nurse from the Southwestern suburbs of Georgia. Her mother was a nurse and Jessie had wanted to be a nurse since she was a child. Addiction has also been part of her story since a young age.

When Jessie’s own daughter battled substance abuse, she got into action!!!!

Jessie volunteers for NUA and started 229 Safer Living Access where she helps members in her own community be SAFE!!!

229 Safer Living Access has been supported by Jessie herself but if you want to help contribute

Episode 380 with Meg Geisewite Author of Intoxicating Lies: One Woman's Journey to Freedom from Gray Area Drinking

Meg geisewite

I am so excited to share Meg’s story.

Meg is an ordinary mom who found herself trapped in the mommy wine culture. She began her sober curious journey in November of 2019 where her love of science led her to discover the truth about alcohol and its seductive lies.

As a truth-teller and best-selling author, Meg is changing the narrative on the mommy wine culture, the hustle culture, and our pro-drinking culture. In Meg’s debut book, Intoxicating Lies: One Woman's Journey to Freedom from Gray Area Drinking, Meg flips the script on the five most intoxicating lies we tell ourselves about alcohol and about our self-worth. 

Meg resides in Delaware with her husband and two teenage children. Her family has been her rock throughout her alcohol-free journey. You can often find Meg enjoying nature on the beautiful biking and hiking trails of Delaware.
