The human behind the hashtag.

From South Jersey daydreams to a decade at sea, Colleen Ryan-Hensley has spent most of her life learning what helps people come back to themselves.

She is a Navy veteran, performance psychology practitioner, public advocate, and founder of Ryan Wellness & Social Innovations, LLC. Her work has moved through military operations, veteran mental health, cognitive performance training, coordinated care, and community well-being.


#BingingSober™ began long before it had a name.


For decades, Colleen tracked her life on paper. Mood. Energy. Sleep. Stress. Substances. Food. Movement. Relationships. Meaning. The quiet patterns most people feel but rarely measure.


That personal practice became a public framework for understanding what's in your well.


Your wellness is what you put into your well.

Your well-being is what you create with it.

#BingingSober™ helps you notice the daily inputs shaping your energy, mood, recovery, focus, and sense of self, so you can decide what belongs in your well and what doesn't.

HOW #BINGINGSOBER WAS STARTED

Regaining Control & Rediscovering Clarity

From binge drinking and compulsive shopping to hours-long TV marathons, many of us use these standard practices as escapes without fully considering their impact on our wellness immediately and over time. These habits, while seemingly harmless at first, can spiral into cycles that affect our health and everyday wellness. It’s essential to recognize these patterns for what they are: a form of escapism that, left unchecked, can dictate the quality of our lives. Control them, or they control you.

#BingingSober evolved from a necessity during Colleen's Navy service, where isolation at sea minimized access to habitual escapism. Embracing 'sober binges' similar to her days at sea, Colleen rediscovered clarity and connection. This practice became her pathway to transformative healing, anchoring her during and after her service. Officially shared in 2023, #BingingSober represents Colleen’s ongoing commitment to spreading this method. Step into a world where challenges fuel growth and each moment is an opportunity to transform, leading to a better life rich with acceptance, meaning, and harmony.
