With almost 20 years of experience, she has helped thousands of people live happy, healthy lives and reach their full potential by being alcohol free. She\u2019s been the keynote speaker at annual conferences such as Women for Sobriety and Soberistas, and she is the cohost of the popular <\/span>Soberful<\/span><\/i> podcast. <\/span><\/p>\n

In “A Soberful Life,” Sounds True founder, Tami Simon, speaks with Veronica about her new book, <\/span>Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable, Fulfilling Life Free of Alcohol<\/span><\/i>.
