Friends,
Check out this week's digest of articles, interviews, and events… featuring moi!
Again: For the month of May, this is our “healing moment.” Instead of me sharing a resource each week, I encourage you to: read the book, enjoy these excerpts, listen to these podcasts, etc—as they are each offered to encourage you toward healing. Healing moment comes back in June!
Reminder: Also in June, paid posts come back for our little Gather the Inklings community! We’ll be reading a new book — which I’ll announce next week… so stay tuned!
And as always, from the bottom of my heart: thank you!
With love & care,
EJW

recovery coaching
If you’re seeking support around changing your relationship with alcohol, I’d love to work with you as your coach!
Recovery coaching provides empathy, practical support, and encouragement as you change your relationship with alcohol or quit drinking. We dig into what is motivational and demotivational for you, so I can help you stay motivated along the path. We will focus on setting achievable goals, removing failure as an option, accountability, recovery techniques, and more to help you change your relationship with alcohol.
Coaching with me means crafting a journey that is unique to you and your life, because the only way we can change our drinking is through support that is unique to our real lives! Sign up today or reach out with questions below. :)
Cheering you on!
