👋 Welcome, Rebel. Thank you for being here.

I’m Vanessa, also known as Coach Veeeee, the founder of Beyond BARS Coaching. On December 9, I’ll be six years sober. I spent ages 13 to 17 in group homes and became unhoused shortly after coming home. Today I support alcohol-free women who are rebuilding safety, self-trust, and stability after incarceration, rehab, or group homes.

🧭 Why I’m doing this

When I was young, I didn’t need to be told to try harder. I needed safety, structure, and someone who could help guide me along this challenging path. That’s what Beyond BARS Coaching gives women in transition, and it’s why we’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

This Giving Tuesday, December 1, we’re raising $6,000 for 6 years.

$4,000 funds about 174 workbooks at $23 each
$2,000 helps us gather in person on February 4, 2027, so the women we serve, our volunteers, and our supporters can be in one room together

🎉 The workbook: Your First 90 Days Beyond BARS

It’s a coaching workbook, a 90-day planner, and a toolkit in one:

Coaching exercises for building self-trust
A daily planner with journal prompts
Gentle yoga for nervous-system safety
Breathing tools for cravings and hard days

It sells for $22.99. Every copy sold lets me give one to a woman who can’t afford it.

$23 puts 1 workbook in a woman’s hands
$115 puts 5 workbooks in
$230 puts 10 workbooks in
$460 puts 20 workbooks in
