Janna Clark, Author
Janna Clark changed the trajectory of her life when she was 19 years old; after her brother’s fatal drunk driving car accident, she committed to a sober life and has not had a drink or a drug in over 30 years. To enhance her health, she became vegan in 2008.
Her upcoming memoir, The Sober Vegan, From Sunshine to SoulShine, becoming healthy one year at a time, is her first published work. She has a coaching business and is currently accepting speaking engagements to encourage others on their journey toward a healthier life. She also works as a Certified Sign Language Interpreter part-time.
Janna currently lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, where she enjoys quality time with her two adult sons, friends, and being out in nature. Janna travels as much as possible and visits botanical gardens with each new adventure. Her most recent passion has been to remodel her RV, where she lives light on the planet.
