about shan

Hi! I’m Shan, the founder of Sunday Happies!

I am also the co-founder and marketing director of Iron Horse Fitness and Sports Performance, a planner of events, a leader of a massive (90+ people) book club, a marathoner (and, if all goes well next year, a soon-to-be-ultra-marathoner), a pitbull momma, a Georgetown University graduate school alumna and… I quit drinking alcohol at 28 years old.

My passions are connection and building relationships, socialization, hosting and celebrating everything, but my drinking most often led to over-drinking and my over-drinking always led to anxiety and panic attacks that would take me out for days at a time. Sunday Happies is about taking Sundays back, partying (and recovering) in peace and removing the alcohol-induced anxiety from my weekends… and hopefully yours too.

Here is where I share the best of the non-alcoholic brands, businesses, booze and bars along with my favorite social plans and activities that don’t have to involve alcohol. I have put everything in one place and done the “where/how can I still have fun when sober??” research so you don’t have to.

Now, let’s party!
