THE ART OF LIVING AN ALCOHOL-FREE LIFESTYLE

Jun 14, 2022

Hello you! Thank you so much for your curiosity and for taking the time to explore my little world. Like you, I also have a curious personality and love learning everything I can about the things that light me up. Everything shared here is because I have either lived through it, learned from it, or it simply made me feel good.

There is no hiding the fact that I am a type A personality, just not when it comes to my creative outlets. I go against what “everyone” says I must do to be a success on Substack. You will not find this newsletter in your inbox on the same day or at the same time each week. It won’t always have the same format or structure, and it certainly won’t be a single, narrowly focused niche topic. I tried to be one of those better humans who stay on a consistent schedule with their creative energy……but it didn’t feel good. And feeling good is my number one priority—something I want for you too.

The least sexy part of this is that I am not a professional writer. Nor do I have an editor (though I wish I did). What I do offer, despite the occasional typo or run-on sentence, is a lighthearted and spirited perspective on most things. Even the topics that many people don’t want to discuss, I can approach in a way that is welcoming and comfortable. It’s something I’ve mastered in my day job as an oncology nurse. My job is also intense and serious, so when it comes to this space, my creative outlet, and how I look at the world in general, I adamantly and unapologetically lean hard into the positive. And I love to crack jokes. So, if you're okay with all that, let’s dig in.

Below, I have categorized several of my favorite topics. This list will provide a great starting point if you're new here or want to delve into a particular topic.
