Sober Sisters Events

Bette and her family have been a bright light in my life this past year. Bette came to one of my events last year, and we immediately clicked. She radiates authenticity, warmth, and genuinely good energy. I was instantly drawn to her, and before long, she became part of our Sober Squad family.

Over the past year, we’ve spent a lot of time together and had the chance to truly know each other’s families. Her husband, Anthony, and their sweet daughter are no different than Bette — kind, positive, and full of genuine goodness.

Sometimes the universe connects you with your people for a reason. And sometimes, life throws an unimaginable curveball.

On May 14th, Anthony was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. In an instant, their world was turned completely upside down as they began preparing for the difficult fight ahead.

I truly believe we met Bette so we could be here for her and her family during this season of their lives — when they need support the most. None of this feels accidental. And sadly, every single one of us can relate in some way, whether through our own experience with cancer or someone we love.

Whatever you can give — whether it’s a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this fundraiser — matters more than you know.

Please show up for this beautiful family however you can. .and.wander

Blessings in disguise — in real time:

This is Bodhi at the emergency vet last night at 10:30pm. After a long weekend of solo parenting and endless kid adventures, Bodhi picked a fight with the wrong rattlesnake. Yes, a literal rattlesnake in my backyard. 🐍

While it was a scary situation, I was able to calmly run through all the possible scenarios, make a clear-headed decision, and safely drive him to get treatment on a Saturday night. A few years ago, I probably would’ve been halfway through a bottle of wine, completely panicked, and unable to drive anywhere.

Life continues to be a wild ride, but sobriety brings clarity to the chaos.

🐾 Update: Bodhi was hospitalized overnight and given antivenom. He will be fine and is coming home today! I’m hoping he has some sort of Spidey powers after this s**t. At the very least, maybe he’ll stop digging in the backyard.

You don’t need a rockier rock bottom. You just need to listen to your inner voice & make a change. ✌️ You’ll never regret it.

The first night of our trip blessed us with a magical sunset. I took the kids out onto the sand and watched them run toward the water. I felt that childlike flutter in my heart too—and then I looked up to say hi to her. I felt her presence as the sky turned a million beautiful shades.

My mom comes to me in these joyful moments. When she was here in the physical world, she wanted to be part of it all. If life had been perfect, she never would have missed a single moment with her family. She couldn’t always show up the way she wanted to—but now, she can. So in these moments when I feel her around me, I know I’m not just making it up. This isn’t wishful thinking. This is a spiritual experience.

We left the beachfront restaurant and walked down the streets of Folly Beach when I heard a familiar tune in the distance—“Angel from Montgomery,” my all-time favorite song. It makes me cry every time because it reminds me of her. A local musician was covering it, her raspy voice hitting me right in the soul. There she was again, just in case I missed her the first time. Hi, Mom.

That first night, I went to bed thinking of her, wishing I could tell her face to face how much I missed her. And then—she came to me in a dream. Her face was so close to mine, like she wanted to be as near as physically possible, just like when she was alive. I could feel the warmth radiating from her. She was doing well. She told me she loved me and missed me so much. We hugged so tightly.

It was short. Simple. I wish it could have lasted forever—but I know it can’t. Nothing beautiful stays here. Not the sunset, not your favorite song, not even the most special person. In this life, it all ends at some point.

Fortunately, my sobriety has taught me to lean into the present. Knowing it’s all fleeting makes it more meaningful. If I had been drinking, I probably would have missed her. The clarity I have now lets me experience each moment more deeply. I pause, I feel it fully, and then I carry it with me.

That’s one thing I’ve learned over the last couple of years: she isn’t gone from my life—she’s in the way I notice it. Sobriety didn’t bring her back. It taught me how to see what was still here. It was something she was always searching for, even if she never found it. And now, in a strange and beautiful way, it’s what helps me find her again and again.

The grief, like waves of the ocean, comes and goes—reminding me the love was real. Even when the sunset fades and the music ends, love finds a way to transcend through every layer of the universe.

I feel you. I hear you. I see you. I love you in every version.

Thank you, Folly Beach. Love you, Mama. What a trip. 🌊
