Through the number of downloads and shares of a previous episode on this topic, the Be You Collective is showing me how important this topic is. It hit a nerve in a good way and I knew I needed to take this topic further. So in today’s episode, we are discussing gray area drinking and redefining sobriety with my dear friend Colleen Kachmann. Listen on to learn about Colleen's journey in Part 1 of this 2 part interview.
