On today’s episode, we host Melissa McGovern, creator of The Sober New Yorker podcast and Instagram. Melissa found her alcohol use ramping up during mid-life and ended up with a scary health diagnosis that led her to quit drinking altogether. She decided to become a sober living coach and make it her life’s mission to help other people take back control of their lives. Many in our Type C community struggle with alcohol and substance use issues and will find Melissa’s story and guidance valuable.Resources discussed on this episode include:<ul><li>Push Off from Here: Nine Essential Truths to Get You Through Sobriety (and Everything Else) By Laura McKowen</li><li>The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks</li><li>You are a Badass by Jen Sincero</li><li>Website: <a href="http://www.thesobernewyorker.com">www.thesobernewyorker.com</a></li><li>Instagram: @thesobernewyorker</li><li>Podcast: The Sober New Yorker</li></ul>
