✅ Why “Rebel Women”?
- Because choosing sobriety in a culture that glamorizes alcohol is rebellious.
- Because women deserve a life that is peaceful, powerful, and free.
- Because we rise higher when we rise together.
You’re not just quitting alcohol —
you’re reclaiming your life, your nervous system, and your joy.
✅ Who Leads This Group?
Vanessa Ragains, founder of Beyond BARS Coaching — a trauma-informed nonprofit supporting reentry, recovery, and nervous-system healing.
Vanessa teaches trauma-sensitive yoga, emotional regulation, and sober coaching, and brings lived experience, deep compassion, and integrative wellness tools into every gathering.
This is not just a Meetup group — it’s a community of Rebel Women ready to live fully, freely, and sober.
