Our thoughts shape our reality. Let’s focus on this being a glorious month of self-love, self-nurture and calm over chaos.

I received this message this morning from one of my former clients 💖 We worked together on a 1-1 basis for 18 sessions, and then she went off to live her alcohol-free life and today she is 901 days without a drop of booze.

Making the choice to never numb, is transformational in so many ways, and it comes with the biggest of rewards.

If you are struggling with alcohol, then alcohol-free living could be the greatest gift you have even given yourself.

I offer 1-1 coaching, month long intensive group programmes and an ongoing coaching group.

If you would like to explore getting some support around your relationship with alcohol, let’s talk.

Click the below link to book a free discovery call. There is no pressure to sign up, just an opportunity for me to get to know you a little and vice versa, and then you are free to go away and have a think about whether you would like to work together moving forwards.

There is always a way forwards and I would love to support you.

There is just one space left!

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, empowering and joyful. Places are limited as my programmes are kept small, I would love you to join us.

This 30-day programme is all about deep-learning, around you and your habits with 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 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.

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.

75% of places have gone. Will you be joining us for a Sober September full of connection, learning, laughter, probably some tears and tonnes of open conversations? 💖

Who is up for seeing whether you like yourself better too?

This isn’t about how much you drink. It isn’t about what anybody else drinks, or about what anybody else thinks about your drinking.

This is about taking a tactical break from alcohol, where you are supported by a qualified alcohol-free specialist coach who will work on your mindset with you, provide you with masses of information about alcohol itself, and how to take a tactical break from it, this is about giving yourself the chance to see whether you feel better without it.

The September programme is not far away. Book your place now

I don’t count the days anymore, but I do notice when it is the 14th, as that was the day I got sober.

I couldn’t do a day at one point, so it blows my mind that I am now on 46 months, yet here we are.

Sobriety was excruciatingly difficult for me at the start, and elements of never numbing, still are, yet it’s incredible how we grow on this journey of coming home to ourselves.

As I will always say, sobriety is the greatest gift I have EVER given myself - the gift of getting to know myself, and being at peace with myself. It never gets old.

All of those years of stopping and starting (15 to be precise), were worth it, to get to the place I’m now at.

Absolutely messy still in parts and definitely not perfect, but real and raw and full of love, adventure and belly laughter. That’s all I really need.

I’m celebrating anyone who is considering this, or attempting this, or doing this. It’s not for the faint hearted but it is absolutely worth it.

Keep going 💖

Holidays don’t have to mean drinking alcohol.

Many people want to, and I get that - but I’m talking to those who wonder what it could possibly be like without.

Shortly after I’d had a blip in my sobriety (just before I finally stopped for good), we went to Ibiza on a 2 week all-inclusive. I could have drank, because I figured “I’d messed up anyway”, yet something was telling me to try a different way, and I did it.

It was a hugely emotional, yet transformational experience for me. I discovered what it was like to be on holiday without that constant mental chatter around when I should have a drink, how much should I drink, how early I could start, how could I ensure I didn’t actually get drunk etc etc. I experienced a holiday in complete clarity, and it was glorious and now I wouldn’t ever want it any other way.

I don’t get on holiday and wish I could drink, I get an immense sense of gratitude that I choose to no longer do so.

We’ve just spent a week camping in South Wales, I’ve fallen in love with camping, being outside and in nature - it’s the simple things that make me happiest now.

For anyone curious about being sober on holiday - I just wanted to tell you, it’s better than you could ever imagine and I would encourage so much that you gift yourself the opportunity to try it. You may never want to go back 💖💫
