Welcome to this very special episode of Hilary Topper on Air! Today, we’re honored to have Kimber Breaux with us—a true example of resilience and transformation.

Kimber is celebrating 30 years of sobriety, a remarkable milestone that showcases her courage and determination. But that’s just part of her inspiring story. Kimber is also the co-owner of the renowned Heritage Boots and is now embarking on an exciting new business venture.

In this episode, we’ll take a deep dive into Kimber’s personal recovery journey—from overcoming the challenges of alcoholism to building a meaningful and fulfilling professional life.

She will share the lessons she’s learned along the way, how her sobriety has shaped her career, and her advice for others navigating a similar path.

Whether you’re on your own recovery journey, supporting a loved one through theirs, or simply looking for inspiration to make positive changes in your life, this conversation promises to be both heartfelt and empowering. Join us as we hear Kimber’s incredible story of strength, growth, and hope. Let’s get started!
