Ep 13 - Being sober in the country with Shanna Whan

On this episode we talk to Shanna Whan - the CEO, founder, and force behind national charity Sober in the Country. She's a self-described ''garden variety recovered alcoholic'' who was fortunate enough to make it back from the brink of death - and chooses to use her very imperfect life and story to pay it forward and offer hope for those still in the fight. She risked it all when going public after rebuilding her life from ground zero at the age of forty and going on to spend 15,000 volunteer hours in the 'trenches' to start a conversation around making it okay to say no thanks to beers in the bush. We talk about speaking your truth in sobriety, how insidious booze culture is in the bush and how the lack of anonymity in the bush drove her to create her platform the helps folks be ok with saying no to booze. We hope you enjoy! As always please remember to rate, review and subscribe if you enjoy our little poddy!
