works with individuals that are ready to make (seemingly) radical lifestyle changes.

At my core I have always had a connection to wellness, spirituality and creativity, but I became accustomed to deprioritizing those things in favor of ambitious career goals, a busy New York City social life and a series of less-than-fulfilling relationships. Always highly intuitive, I also became a pro at hushing my inner voice and trying to do what was expected of me—expectations often placed on myself by myself. I struggled with disordered drinking, perfectionism, anxiety and bouts of depression. I had become a pro at abandoning myself for everyone (and everything) else. 

​

At the age of 36, I found myself suddenly aware of being caught in a loop— playing out the same painful life lessons over and over again. I was sick and tired. Determined to break my cycle of shitty relationships and find a stable partner, I registered for a Karma of Love course at Brooklyn’s Maha Rose. I fully committed to the meditation and manifestation practice and stuck to it, daily, as planned. But the deeper I went into my practice, the more I felt like I was insincerely asking for a relationship. In-fact I realized I didn’t want a relationship at all. Not at that moment anyway. I wondered, why was I trying so hard to manifest something I didn’t actually want? What if I stopped and asked myself what I needed, instead? The message I received loud and clear? 

​

I needed to stop drinking.

 

I suddenly understood that removing alcohol would make space for everything else I felt I was missing and trusted that I didn't need to have any answers beyond that. This realization came long before taking action, because I had no idea how to start. I just knew (with every ounce of my being) that I had to start somewhere…

​

In June of 2019, I made the decision to consciously explore one month alcohol-free. I got real about it. About why I drank and why alcohol was no longer serving me. It was incredibly hard, but each time I connected back to myself, I confirmed I was on the right path. I decided to tune out the old self-doubt and simply trust the process. One month turned into three and upon receiving a sign from the Universe, I decided I was done drinking for good. I experienced a tremendous amount of relief in making that commitment to myself at that moment. I wasn’t yet aware, but I was experiencing a massive shift and an expansive awakening that would affect everything from the food I ate, to the books I read, to the company I kept, to the way I viewed my role in the world, and my definition of success and failure. 

​

Since going alcohol-free I have what I would describe as plenty of time and space for everything I need to pursue. I no longer feel like I am running out of time, or opportunities, or money. Before answering my call as a healer, I nurtured my soul with creative projects—I launched Project 30 Somethings, began sharing my writing and became the managing editor of Untamed Voices. In addition to focusing on my creative passions, since going alcohol-free, I have paid off 40k in debt, purchased my first home and completed two coaching certifications. I even found the healthy partnership I wasn’t ready to ask for back in 2019. ​

 

All of this was part of my growth journey towards pursuing my calling to work with individuals who are trapped in similar patterns of self-sabotage and disordered drinking. It was all part of the foundation that led me to create The Radical Wellness.
