So excited for this—connection, creativity, and community in a space that goes beyond traditional recovery.
As of this writing, I’m eight months sober, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I love the clarity, energy, and presence it brings to my life.
Something fun about me? I’m always up for an adventure. You’ll find me on a golf course, tennis or pickleball court, biking, or doing something active. I love staying fit and being outside. Travel is a big part of my life—especially anywhere near the water. Boating, scuba diving, exploring new places… I’m all in. Total mermaid at heart—I live for the ocean, sunshine, and sand.
Excited to meet like-minded people and build real friendships. If you’re in Atlanta, even better—always open to connecting.
Julianne Griffin is a recovery mentor, community builder and the founder of Swift Steps.
Her work is deeply shaped by her own lived experience with addiction, recovery and the search for healing that actually feels honest and sustainable. She understands what it is like to need support and not fully see yourself reflected in the spaces that are supposed to help. That experience became the foundation for everything she went on to build.
Julianne founded Blank Space Recovery because she wanted to meet people where they were. What started as recovery mentoring grew into broader work: building communities, writing curriculum and creating programs that help people feel less alone in the process of change.
She believes healing is not one size fits all and her work reflects that. She is committed to creating spaces that are inclusive, emotionally honest and grounded in real life, especially for people who have felt misunderstood, judged or left out by more traditional approaches.
That work eventually led her to create Swift Steps, a peer-led recovery and healing community and program for Swifties navigating sobriety, mental health or just figuring it out. Swift Steps brings together structure, reflection, music and community in a way that feels more human and accessible.
Today, Julianne’s work includes mentoring, curriculum development, community building and recovery centered program creation. Across everything she builds, the goal remains the same: to create spaces where people can feel seen, supported, and less alone while finding their own way forward.

Hi, I',m Stephanie! I have spent over two decades in the hospitality industry, working my way through every role imaginable. From behind-the-scenes operations to leading large-scale food, beverage, and event experiences, I've built a career rooted in connection, creativity, and bringing people together.
In 2025, I opened Sober AF Zero Proof Bottle Shop in Tacoma - right around the same time I made the life-changing decision to get sober. What started as a personal transformation quickly became something bigger: a mission-driven space designed to challenge the way we think about socializing, celebration, and connection.
At my core, I am a people person through and through. my big “why” is simple but powerful: I love people, and I love making people feel loved. Through Sober AF, I've created more than a bottle shop. it’s a safe, vibrant, judgment-free space where everyone is invited to feel seen, celebrated, and supported.
my mission is to help others reconnect with their most authentic selves through sobriety. Because learning who you are, forgiving yourself, and choosing to love yourself again? That’s not small work - it’s everything!
Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just looking for a place to belong, I will always welcome you with open arms. Come to an event, grab a drink, send me a message or just stop by for a chat - I'm here for you!
