SHARING OUT LOUD
Midlife hit, the filter broke, and the truth started swinging. From menopause to alcoholism and sobriety, to identity and the mess we all pretend we’re not drowning in — she’s finally saying everything women were taught to swallow. And the guests? Bold, brilliant, and absolutely ready to say the quiet parts out loud.
Imagine what beautiful things could happen if we all chose to be vulnerable. If we all decided to be BRAVE, to start SHARING our personal stories OUT LOUD, because we knew it could help someone else who is going through the same thing.

SHARING OUT LOUD
RECOVERING OUT LOUD -- with Rachel Hechtman, AKA "Soberincentralpark"
On January 3, 2021, about 6 months after a wake-up call amid the pandemic, Rachel decided to try Dry January. She was the heaviest she had ever been, she was unemployed, had no motivation, and was in a marriage that had been done for a while.
As Dry January moved into February, February into March... Rachel drastically changed her lifestyle and replaced alcohol with alternatives, like water and walking (to Central Park of course), and began making better decisions about her nutrition. Though not always easy, sobriety brought so many benefits and rewards. Rachel's mental health improved and in turn, her depression and anxiety became more manageable. And what about all the walking around and in Central Park? She lost 100lbs!
As Rachel started following and communicating with other sober women on social media, she realized she could make a difference if she were to share her story "OUT LOUD" and so began Sober In Central Park. What began as a “Dry January” experiment has now blossomed into a Sober Career! She has become a life coach, a N/A brand spokesperson (bringing N/A drink brands to restaurants in NYC!), a motivational speaker, and now a sober retreat leader! The sky is the limit for Rachel, and it can be for you too!
