Through honest, relatable and outrageously funny anecdotes, Rachael shares her personal journey to sobriety and offers practical guidance for women around the world who want to ditch the drink for good.Sober Mama is a beautiful blend of hilariously honest stories and actionable advice to help the reader begin their own journey to sobriety. I cannot recommend it highly enough. * Annie Grace, This Naked Mind *
Rachael Shephard has a lengthy background in law enforcement. She spent many years encountering people with addiction issues while simultaneously hiding the same problems herself. Now, Rachael is a sober coach for mums who want to stop drinking, and regularly speaks at events on the subject of addiction. Her days are filled with a mix of mumming, working and writing, and in her spare time she can be found trying not to murder her two children while playing guitar and binge-watching Netflix. Sober Mama is Rachael's debut book.
