Shownotes

Jen (Gilhoi) Veralle joined us for a show in the comedy basement and while we had a beer, she did not. And you know what? It was fun all around! Jen has built a life around showing people that sobriety doesn't mean the end of fun- in case that is what you think might happen. By talking about alcohol and sobriety in different ways, Jen is helping to normalize these conversations and allowing us to see things in a new light.

She's also into sauna- which has become a real theme lately! Check out Sauna Times and listen to our interview with Glenn!

From her site-

Jen (Gilhoi) Veralle, event experience strategist and founder of Sparktrack, is fascinated with the art of gathering. She especially loves lingering behind and reliving moments others have long since moved on from. In 2014, she moved on from active addiction and began a sober lifestyle. And in recent years, supported by the community of women writers at ModernWell in Minneapolis (We interviewed Julie Burton, the founder), MN, she courageously began exploring memoir to work through past traumas.

As an introvert and moderate empath (discovered upon completion of the quiz in Sensitive is the New Strong), she’s discovered that the written word is her avenue to invite others into inquiry and shatter stigmas around addiction. To further that passion, she’s a Dissonance board member, an organization that promotes mental health and recovery in and through the arts. And because the wellness and sobriety journey is not just about not drinking – it’s about living live to the fullest – she also writes about wellness-related products, services and experiences.
