Often September is a perfect time to take a break from the booze.

The sun (when we have it) means people often drink more, we can drink lots on our holidays, the kids are off, and the juggle is even more tricky than usual so if you tend to feel a bit jaded after the summer, September can be a gorgeous opportunity for a re-set, and taking a break from alcohol can be the biggest and best reset.

An alcohol-free month is so good for our motivation, clarity, consistency, mood, physical health, mental health, sleep and so much more.

25% of places have gone already. Will you be joining us for a Sober September full of connection, learning, laughter and open conversations? 💖

If we just change what is in our glass we are missing out on the best bit.

Alcohol-free living is, of course, about the not drinking. To start with that can feel all-consuming - but after some time, when the not drinking becomes normal, then sobriety becomes about something more, about creating a life that is jam packed full of stuff that we love, that we just don’t want to numb it out.

This is not about toxic positivity, but it is about learning to love and trust ourselves again, about finding joy in the day-to-day and about creating a life full of things we love - for many people these are the little things. In doing this, we are building our alcohol-free muscles, so that they are there, if and when we need to use them.

Keep building your alcohol-free joy, connection, self love and respect - it makes the not drinking a whole lot easier and rewards you for the incredible choice you have made for yourself

This was one of the testimonials from a client on my alcohol-free September programme last year.

This programme is about a small group of people, getting together, taking a break from the booze, supporting each other, understanding more about their own relationship with alcohol, as well as alcohol on the whole, and making plans to move forward.

This isn’t about judgement or demonising alcohol, it is about taking a tactical break in a space led with positive psychology.

Would you like to take part in an alcohol-free programme with a difference?

Based around positive psychology, this programme is about focussing on everything we gain from taking a break from alcohol. It is exciting and empowering, and the benefits from taking a break from the booze are huge.

This 30-day programme is all about deep-learning, about your habits / beliefs around alcohol. It is about working on your mindset and your limiting beliefs, so that you view taking a break from alcohol as a gift, that you absolutely can achieve.

It is about more than just the 30 days. It is about making shifts that go way beyond, should you wish.

It is based in a small-group setting with masses of support, education and accountability. I get to know and support you as an individual, and we make real progress. You also receive a 30-minute 1-1 coaching call with myself, making the programme incredible value for money.

This is perfect for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol, or wanting to take a tactical break after a boozy / busy summer.

Booking is now open from my month long, September alcohol-free programme. I have so many testimonials to share from previous participants, but this just a little one I wanted to start with 💖

This is a small group programme, and places are limited (this is because I offer 1-1 support as part of this).

This weekend myself and some of my clients from my alcohol-free club, got together and went to a female empowerment festival.

It was absolutely gorgeous. We did a sound bath, lakeside sauna and lake plunge, paddleboarding, forest bathing and a silent disco.

We howled with laughter, we cried, we pushed ourselves out of our comfort zones, we talked about our lives, and our families, and our drinking and our sobriety.

The conversations we have, on zoom every week, have bonded us, because we understand this shared experience of being sober, in a world where sobriety isn’t the norm. This shared experience creates the most amazing of bonds.

One of my clients came all the way from Texas and it felt like I had known her forever.

Sobriety has been the best choice I have ever made for myself! If you are on the fence and want a tribe - come and join us. We will welcome you with open arms and support you unconditionally.

Many of the women took part in one of my alcohol-free challenges before joining the ongoing group - here is the link to the next one which starts in September.

I talk to my clients all of the time, about reflection, about celebrating successes and focussing on progress.

Yet it can be so hard to do!

I love these beautiful words from Donna Ashworth “Lay fear, regret and judgement on the back doorstep of June. She will take them for you”.

How beautiful to step forwards, focussing not on perfection, but on our progress.

How about you take 15 minutes out, to journal on some of the below - pick the ones you feel most drawn to:

💫 What are you most proud of from the last 6 months?

💫 What habits have helped you the most?

💫 What can you release that no longer serves you?

💫 What can you celebrate about yourself right now?

💫 What do you want to carry forwards into the second half of the year?

💫 How do you want to feel in December and what will help to get you there?

Happy halfway point. Meet yourself with kindness and compassion - always 💖

Some of the ladies that did one of my Alcohol-Free programmes, all the way back in 2022, hit 1000 days sober this week.

They didn’t all intend to carry on this far when they started out, they just recognised that they felt so much better and so kept going.

That isn’t to say that there weren’t bumps in the road for them, there almost always are in early sobriety, but they all found ways around any struggles that they had, and I’m so delighted for them that they have hit such a huge milestone.

The small group programmes are so effective. I make tweaks to them each time I run them, to make sure they are continually improving, and the next one I am doing (the last one this year), is kicking off on the 1st September.

If you are interested in taking a break from the booze for 30 days, with masses of support, I would love you to join us.

Our little family Summer Solstice garden ceremony last night 💖💫

We let go of things that are no longer serving us, we set our intentions, journaled and then jumped on the trampoline 108 times (108 has spiritual significance). Me and the kids loved it - Lee wasn’t too sure but joined in anyway 😜

I hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful evening 💖
