What inspired you to write your book?
The inspiration behind Indulge Mocktails arose during the pandemic as I found myself confined within four walls, like most of the world, planted at home. The days became long, and I soon began to explore new ways to keep busy. The kitchen became a focal point as I immersed myself in creative cooking most of the time with my two sons, ages 4 and 21.
In the pre-pandemic era, my days were spent speaking, podcasting, and traveling in pursuit of spreading awareness on empowerment among women and the esthetics of sobriety. So, naturally, I had hesitation. I actively talk and campaign passionately about sobriety. Was a recipe book consisting of mocktails going to make sense?
I soon realized that this would be a perfect fit. Not only for those in sobriety, but this recipe book could be fun for everyone. This book is the kind of beauty that I have been fortunate to have created during this time at home. This is the beauty I want to share with you without compromising the values that I hold so dear.
