She started her sober journey in May 2019, when she dived into the world of alcohol-free drinks. Trying every non-alcoholic bubbly there was, and flying around the world to attend fun alcohol-free events! In 2021 Izzy started organising alcohol-free retreats for women that don’t need alcohol to have fun, and since February 2024 she’s organizing local walks and cold dips in San Francisco.
