I really truly believe that somebody is going to hear this, who needs to hear this and see themselves in your own story.
How does a mother navigate the challenges of sobriety in a world where drinking is the norm?

Jyoti's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding herself again. She discusses how sobriety has sparked her creativity and deepened her spirituality. Contrary to the stereotype that creatives need substances to thrive, Jyoti shows that living alcohol-free has made her more intuitive and inventive. Her mission?
To spread knowledge, kindness, and laughter, using her background in stand-up comedy to connect with others on tough topics.
