As someone who has experienced the tumultuous journey of long-term recovery from alcohol and drugs, “Push Off From Here” by Laura McKowen resonated with me on a deeply personal level. This unflinching self-help guide of sorts captures the harrowing struggles and ultimate triumphs of a woman seeking redemption from the clutches of addiction and what life looks like on the other side.

HAPPY EVERY HOUR
BERO Edge Hill Hazy IPA

I was recently asked to review the three BERO Brewing’s NA beer styles. I had not heard of them before the request, so I was curious to find out where this brewery called home and their story. Well, it turns out this brewery is backed and founded by Tom Holland. Maybe you recognize that name immediately, but I did not. Yes, it’s the English actor Tom Holland, best known for his starring role in the Spider-Man franchise. What’s that got to do with beer? I stumbled upon a wonderful interview with Tom on the Rich Roll podcast.
