June 2, 2023 – The Houston native spent her early adult years enjoying the riches of life while indulging in the party lifestyle. In 2021, however, a run-in with the law ultimately led to a life-changing, court-mandated year of sobriety. “I felt super-isolated and just kind of miserable after my arrest. Everything that I had identified with and my social life was gone. I was very unhappy, and it all felt very out of my control.
“My probation officer suggested I go to an intensive outpatient program (IOP),” the outgoing professional explains. “I had never really been vulnerable with other people, especially people that were also going through tough things. I had never really listened to other people’s experiences. Suddenly, I was hearing stuff that really resonated with me. I always thought that everyone else was just better than I was at not drinking more than a few drinks a night. I blacked out more than other people, and I was so ashamed of that.”
