SHARING OUT LOUD
Looking for a new listen that combines the serious with the fun? One that offers REAL stories of hard life shit with educational information? Look no further than SHARING OUT LOUD, a podcast hosted by a sober woman who got tired of staying silent about her alcoholism and sobriety, and frankly, everything else in life. A woman who spent so much of her life being told she was "too much," "too aggressive," "too loud," and "polarizing," that she never allowed herself to be 100% true to who she was, until now. She decided it was time to start SHARING OUT LOUD, and when she did everything changed.
Totally authentic, the SHARING OUT LOUD podcast will feature a wide range of guests from sober women, to health and fitness, to the world of energy healing, post-partum depression, women and toxic positivity, and who knows what else! Take a listen, you won't be disappointed!
SHARING OUT LOUD
Author, Yogi, Deep Thinker, AND she's SOBER! Meet Alexandra Boss!
You know how sometimes things are just meant to happen? That is how Alexandra and I met. Alexandra works with a woman I have known since I was 4 years old (Nicole Rhea) and one day the two happened to do a ride-along together for business and Alexandra told Nicole about her sobriety... and Nicole mentioned my podcast and then reached out to me and said Alexandra and I had to connect. So yeah, that's what I mean... some things things are just supposed to happen.
In this beautiful conversation Alexandra speaks about her sobriety - how she got there, how challenging it can be to be young and not drink (alcohol is everywhere! Movies, ax throwing😲, bars of course, etc.), but most importantly, how incredible it is to wake up on a weekend and go to an early yoga class (no hangover!), how much clearer she thinks, and basically how much better she navigates life.
So, she's an author? Yes! And she created a character about an alcoholic before she thought she had a drinking problem...
About THE GAME:
Alyssa has seemingly hit rock bottom. She has to do community service, and she is unemployed. When she meets a woman who tells her how she can make some money by never leaving her home, and it has the potential for bonuses, Alyssa is intrigued. The Game is played with a high-tech headset and controller, and it allows her to see, taste, hear and smell the world inside. She can even feel pain, and pleasure. As Alyssa begins to play, she can’t help but wonder if this is the answer to her prayers….though things aren’t always as they seem.
A REVIEW:
This was one of those books that I was so excited to receive. I was worried it would be a little too much like another popular game book, but while similar, it was different – and I it a lot. It is written well and is a fast read. The question that the book focuses on is what would you do for money? It’s an interesting concept, except in the case of the book you’re doing them in a virtual world. However, when you are in the game, it feels so real and your ingrained personality traits and morals don’t necessarily go away. This is something that our main character struggles with, and honestly, I would too. But she can’t just quit because she would have to pay back so much money, so she finds work arounds that aren’t necessarily pleasant. The ending, oh the ending. It’s written in a way that you as the reader can make inferences, but I would love to know how the author solves it.
Alex Bos has created an impulsively readable novel that kicks off right into the action. The novel is short and I read it all in one sitting. I was engrossed, waiting to see how Alyssa's choices might go bad. I was shocked at the cliffhanger and I am ready for the second book!
Everything about the premise is interesting and Bos' prose is simple, yet effective in conveying Alyssa's dilemmas and state of mind. I always find dystopian narratives such as this just grab me by the shirt and don't let go until I plow through them!
