Please join me in congratulating Kristina on her well-deserved promotion to Executive House Manager for MTB Sober Living and MTB Senior Women’s Living.

Kristina has consistently demonstrated the kind of leadership we value most at MTB—accountability, structure, compassion, follow-through, and excellence in house operations. Her dedication to maintaining clean, safe, stable, and supportive living environments has made a real impact across our homes.

This promotion reflects not only the work she has already been doing, but the confidence we have in her ability to help strengthen our leadership systems and continue raising the standard of care and accountability throughout MTB.

Congratulations, Kristina! We are proud of you and excited for this next level of leadership. 💙💚🏡

🐣💐 Easter joy was in full bloom at Making Things Better Sober Living!

This weekend, our homes were filled with more than just baskets and beautiful meals—they were filled with laughter, healing, fellowship, and the reminder that recovery is about rebuilding moments that matter. From shared meals and festive decorations to meaningful connection and celebration, Easter gave our residents an opportunity to experience the beauty of community, hope, and new beginnings.

At Making Things Better Sober Living, we believe recovery includes creating healthy traditions, safe memories, and moments of joy that remind our residents what life in sobriety truly feels like. Holidays can be difficult for many, which is why it means so much to create spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and celebrated.

We are so proud of our house managers and residents for making this Easter so special across the homes. 🌷🐰💛

Healing happens in the little moments too.
And this weekend was full of them.

Recovery isn’t about getting everything right. It is about showing up every day and choosing to do better than yesterday.

Proud of every resident who is putting in the work, staying accountable, and choosing growth even when it is hard. One day at a time it adds up. 💙

Good morning family 💛

February is Black History Month, and I’m grateful to be part of something powerful.

I rarely perform in any of my productions – but THIS month, y’all, I’m taking the stage with my cast in The Price of Freedom.

This play tells real stories of struggle, resilience, and triumph in the Black experience. It is emotional, inspiring, and deeply meaningful.

And I’m excited to share that the theme song, “The Price of Freedom,” was written and produced by Dr. Brenda Combs.

Every time that curtain opens, I’m reminded that history isn’t just something we read about – it’s something we LIVE, tell, and pass on.

If you’ve ever wanted to support Black art, Black stories, and Black excellence, this is a beautiful way to do it.

🎭 Show Date: February 27
🕖 Time: 7:00 PM
📍 Location: Cactus Jack’s

✨Sobriety is not just about abstaining from substances. It is about building a lifestyle that supports healthy decisions.

Sober living programs help bridge the gap between treatment and independent living by reinforcing structure, responsibly, and peer accountability.

Sometimes the most powerful part of recovery is learning where to place your energy. You don’t have to fix everything or everyone to stay well. Focus on your healing, stay grounded in your purpose, and keep moving forward—one healthy choice at a time.
