In this episode you will meet Chloe Novatka. Chloe chooses to live a sober life and is currently working toward completing her Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling. Dale and Chloe connected over sharing stories about life. They both struggle with Complex PTSD and completed a treatment called EMDR. Chloe's sister and Dale's birth mother both have physical and intellectual disabilities. They both LOVE to dance and let loose on the dance floor. Chloe shares how she began drinking at the age of 12, and moving on to harder drugs at 14. She shares what it is like for her to choose to live sober, drinking during the pandemic after being 2 years sober, and the moment she was ready to go out as a sober person. She shares the importance of having hobbies and not creating a boring life due to sobriety. Chloe wishes she could change the word sober with honest. We should strive to live an honest life. No matter what season we are in. We all struggle but if we were honest, we would be authentic, and able to grow into a better version of ourselves.
