Hilary Phelps is a holistic performance coach, speaker, and founder of The Right Room, dedicated to helping women navigate recovery, burnout, and major life transitions with clarity, compassion, and somatic tools.

Today on the show we discuss: why Hilary waited 15 years to speak openly about her sobriety and the shame that kept her silent, the rise of mommy wine culture and why women are drinking more than ever, how being a high-functioning blackout drinker made it easy to deny she had a real problem, the role bullying and the need to fit in played in fueling her addiction, why alcohol was never the real issue and what she was actually trying to numb, the power of community in early sobriety and why you cannot do it alone, and much more.
