It’s Cool Over On This Side of the Bottle with Shay Mitchell

Today recovery coach Shay Mitchell joins me on the pod! Shay’s journey with alcohol is a story of extremes. She grew up in a religion where alcohol was strictly forbidden, yet addiction and partying were secret staples of her parents’ home lives. 

It wasn’t until after high school that Shay began drinking, though. But when she did? Everything changed. Alcohol became the crutch that she relied on through a young marriage, a divorce, and postpartum depression. With each passing year her dependence grew more and more severe, landing her in rehab multiple times over the course of 8 years.

Shay is now over 900 days sober, and she’s starkly honest about how hard the journey has been to get here. Eventually, it was her own commitment to herself that got her to stick to sobriety, and she is so glad she did. 

Shay is now a recovery coach helping others navigate the challenging waters of getting sober. You can learn more about her offerings at www.shaysober.com!
