Reframing the things that are important and reframing what I say I want my life to look like and then recognizing, if you really want your life to look that way, where does alcohol fit? And I think that if everybody, really everybody, asks themselves that one question, like, is alcohol serving me? And I think the majority of people would say probably not.
Imagine navigating the complex waters of addiction while juggling a successful career and personal loss. Jennifer Fox, founder of Dragonolia and president of Fox Vending Incorporated, knows this journey all too well.

Jennifer’s candidness about her grief and the resilience she found through it is both touching and empowering. Her story underscores the importance of addressing one's struggles openly and seeking community support.
