Meet your hosts
Michelle Smith is a mom, bestselling author, keynote speaker, certified recovery coach, certified alcohol and drug counselor, and the founder of Recovery is the New Black, a digital community for women living or exploring an alcohol-free life. Michelle struggled for years with alcohol addiction that looked like “overdoing it.” In reality, she was drinking to escape the stresses of life ― and the “mommy juice” drinking culture was helping her self-destruct. Since getting sober in 2016, she has integrated both her personal and professional experience toward normalizing sobriety in our boozy culture.
Michelle’s work has been featured on The Today Show, TEDx, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Recovery Today Magazine, Alkermes, KTLA, NBC, ABC, and more. Michelle lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and adorable dog.
