A New Kind of Work/Life Balance

As I stare down the impending doom of putting my 5 year old on a bus to public school in less than 2 weeks and general overwhelm by all things work/life balance (never heard of her), my Substack frequency has fallen to the way side the last couple of weeks. Before that, I was pitching articles so frequently that I was dreaming about searching editors on LinkedIn and meeting Tawny Lara irl.

The positive side of this is that I now have 2 pieces published in Business Insider and 1 in HuffPost.

You can read them here:

I Got Sober, But My Husband Still Drinks. This Is What We Tell Our Kids.

I told my kids the TV was broken. Four months later, I’m still pretending.

My in-laws bought the house 2 doors down from us. Our kids love it, but setting boundaries has been tough.

I also had a great conversation with Suzanne Warye on her podcast, The Sober Mom Life Podcast.

Standing Confidently in Your Sobriety with Sydney Allen

I’ve slowed down on the pitching, though I do have four (4!!!!) more pieces forthcoming across various outlets and Substack newsletters in the next couple months. I’m also scheduled to record another podcast at the end of the month with one of my FAVORITE alcohol-free writers and advocates. So stay tuned for that.
