Kim Bellas
Kim’s journey began in 2013, when she decided to make the commitment to stop drinking for 3 months in order to support her son Matthew who had been diagnosed with epilepsy. Sober Is The New Cool was created as she quickly realized the social pressures surrounding not only herself but what her son would encounter. Her mission is to extend love, compassion, and support. In addition to devoting her time to making Sober is The New Cool m, Kim enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends. She also loves to play golf, run, and to mediate. Kim has been referred to as the "matriarch" of the sober community and plans to continue this journey by empowering her reluctancy to improving one's well-being. Not only has Kim made an impact internationally with her strong positive footprint, but she has joined a local group of women called "Les Femmes du Quebec". Kim's industrious mindset has led her to donate part of her book proceeds to a foundation based in Montreal, Quebec called The Douglas Foundation.
