Despite her traumatic upbringing and becoming the woman (her mom) she swore she’d never be, Wendy went from an alcoholic PTA mother shooting at her husbands mistress to jail to getting sober and finding her life’s purpose helping others and halting the cycle of intergenerational abuse. She is an author and certified drug and alcohol counselor.
