I really really passionately think that that's so important, because I think that's a big thing, like having fun and just you know whether it's a hike or coffee or meal, or the sharing circle, but with other women who get it because the conversations are so much deeper, we don't do small talk.
Have you ever wondered how a small workshop can spark a global movement? In this episode of 'Soberful', Veronica Valli chats with Dawn Nickel, the co-founder of She Recovers.
