Jenn Kautsch feels passionate about making safe spaces for women to have conversations about alcohol without judgment, labels or rules. She is a retired “grey area” drinker and in her mid-40s, she felt tired, stuck, and on autopilot and needed a change. She just turned 50 and is a new empty nester.
She started a community called Sober Sis where she has helped over 20,000 women from all over the world. SoberSis is a like-minded community of women who are renegotiating their relationship with alcohol w/o labels, shame, judgment or rules. She has a 21 day reset challenge that she started because she wanted to share what she has learned and experienced firsthand.
The biggest takeaway that I had was that I just want to be present and clear minded. This conversation really gave me a pull to be intentional about that!
