Hi! I’m Martha

I believe in my heart that YOU deserve a juicy life, not a dry one!!

Maybe you’re a foodie and belong to several wine clubs and you’re actually scared of what it would mean to NOT drink wine! I hear you! I was born and raised on the good eats and party-culture of New Orleans. I worked for Food Network chefs. Chef Emeril Lagasse cooked my wedding rehearsal dinner. My husband and I chucked our stable jobs and went out on a limb to start a winery, without experience or money. We built a business we were proud of, and I believed we were creating community by bringing people together over glasses of Oregon Pinot and bottles of Champagne and Burgundy made by small family producers in France. We hosted hundreds of events and regularly took clients on tasting trips to France. Wine culture was part of my identity and the thought of giving it up was scary. 

Only I realized I didn’t have to. In fact, I decided to double down on the sensory pleasure and the connection with people that I enjoyed most about wine and food & wine culture. I now spend half the year in Paris (exploring markets, coffeehouses and late at night…the best hidden speakeasies), and the other half split between the beautiful, majestic Pacific NW and sprinkles of travel to try new things or to uncover the hottest new AF venues across the country.

For women in mid-life, so much is shifting and it can feel like we’re losing things…perhaps the loss of our parents, our role as a mother, or our significance in an ageist culture.

So here, we’ll talk all about the gain! When you say no to a drink, you will be saying YES to something else (vitality, health, clarity, peace, delight, adventure, joy)!

With alcohol small or out of the picture altogether, this can be the most fertile time of your life!
