Jen Eastwood lives in Fairfax, Virginia, with her husband, four kids (10 - 15, yes, it is insanely busy and loud at her house), and family dogs. Originally from the North Shore of Chicago, she’s been sober since December 2021 and is grateful for the clarity and peace it’s brought her. As a member of Sober Mom Life from when it was only an idea in Suzanne's head, she has loved to see it grow to where it is today and helping so many women along the way. Much of her time is spent driving her kids to their activities, whether it’s the tennis courts, swimming pool, or dance studio — and in the middle of all the chaos, she loves to travel, read and watch mindless reality tv.
