Hi,
How are you today?
Popping into your inbox to remind you of something very important.
You have a choice:
stay the same,
do it the way they tell you to,
or carve your own path.
You are NOT powerless, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
You are powerful beyond belief.
THIS is the basis of Redefining Sobriety.
It is more than “just another program.”
It is a movement.
It is a new path, one you haven’t been offered before.
One that has been a lifetime in the making.
Did you know that I have 20 years of experience leading up to this?
Yes you read that right. 20 YEARS!
I started as a peer volunteer when I was 15 years old. I was one of the first rural youth trained by YouthCO AIDS Society, Canada’s only youth-led HIV/AIDS awareness and education organization.
That led to a lot of firsts:
I was one of the first youth facilitators hired by a government initiative to travel around the project and do workshops on topics such as celebrating diversity, preventing sexual violence and bullying, at age 17.
I was one of the youngest enrolled in my Child and Youth Care Counselling program (my first diploma). In fact, I had a wait a year because they wouldn’t let me enroll until I was 18.
I was the first Hepatitis C and harm reduction coordinator for YouthCO at age 19.
I created the first youth-led project for youth actively using methamphetamines, at age 21.
I became Vancouver’s first Youth Advocate Mentor, reporting directly to City Hall on behalf of Children and Youth, at age 22.
I co-founded Youth RISE, the first and only global youth-led harm reduction network, at age 24.
This work transformed into several other “firsts” including developing the first regional drug policy reform strategy in SouthEast Asia and Cambodia’s first Drug Strategy for Family Health International.
That was career that you sometimes hear me reference. Yes, the one that led to extreme burnout. But that wasn’t my career’s fault. I grew up in this work from a very young age. I didn’t know how to take care of myself or cope with the huge emotional burden I shouldered by doing this kind of work.
For awhile, I stopped talking about it. It’s as if I was born again 6 years ago, when I left Cambodia and moved to Mexico. And again 4 years ago when I redefined my relationship to alcohol once and for all. I spend a lot of time referencing my recent history, however it’s my 20+ years of work experience that actually lays the foundation of unique approach I take with my work.
All of this work had several key common themes:
-
Being “client” focused, and asking the group most affected what solutions would work best for THEM
-
Outside of the box and nonlinear
-
Explicitly empowering, non-judgement and anti-oppressive
-
Solutions focused – looking at where the gaps in current services are, and creating new ones
-
All about restoring dignity and power
-
All about celebrating uniqueness and aliveness
So you see, in a way, I’ve always done this.
My work is so intuitive because it has lived inside of me for so long.
The specific focus around alcohol and holistic healing was added because of my own journey.
That’s what Redefining Sobriety is all about.
It’s the umbrella for everything I’ve learned and created and implemented for the past 20+ years.
That’s why it would mean so much for you to join me in the very first Redefining Sobriety Program.
It’s 9 weeks, but you get a LIFETIME of participation.
That’s right – this program will launch again in the new year, at a much higher price point, but you get to join again, for free. And the next time it launches, and the next until either you don’t need it anymore or I stop doing it.
We start on October 30.
No sales page, no frills, no promo right now (all that’s coming in the new year).
This invitation is going out to my current list only and I want to keep the first group intimate.
You will have access to EVERYTHING I KNOW and have created so far.
This will be the playground for testing Redefining Sobriety.
Yes, it will be work, we will go deep, but it will also be a lot of FUN!
There will be LIVE weekly calls and worksheets and Facebook support.
All you need to do is submit your payment of $227 here.
If you’ve worked with me before, either privately or in a group, you can receive your lifetime membership for 50%!!! One-time payment of $113.
There are only 3 spots left for this lifetime offer.
Will you join us?
xoxo
