For years, I used alcohol to quiet the fear. To shut down the anxiety. To ease the panic. To feel "normal."
Then one day, I caught my reflection in the mirror. I stopped. I didn’t recognize myself.
I looked like an empty shell—like the fire inside me was about to go out. And in that moment, I knew.
If I didn’t quit drinking, I was going to die.
I didn’t really choose to stop drinking.

Getting sober didn’t make my fears disappear. They were always there.
🚫 Freeway phobia.
🚫 Avoiding leaving the house.
🚫 Public speaking? Hell no.
I couldn’t even sit with my own emotions. The anxiety attacks felt nonstop. Before, I numbed it all with alcohol. But now?

I went from being afraid to leave my house… to moving to Bali and traveling the world.
From avoiding driving for 3.5 years… to solo road-tripping 13,000 miles across the U.S.
From terrified of public speaking… to giving a TEDx talk and launching a YouTube channel.
From a crippling fear of dogs… to falling in love with the Bali dog, Luna.
