You started over on Monday, and you’ve done so well all week — work, family, responsibilities, the endless mental load. But as Friday rolls around, something shifts. You feel tired, depleted, and that familiar, powerful desire to drink creeps in.

I remember this so well, it is soooo sneaky,......I felt proud for getting this far without a drink, and with that, I told myself I deserved a treat...

It's that Friday feeling, right?!

But beneath it lies something deeper.

That urge to drink isn’t just about the alcohol — it’s about the need to transition.

💫From doing to being.
💫From pressure to peace.
💫From tension to release.

Alcohol offers an instant but false gateway into relaxation. It mimics what your body and mind are genuinely craving: rest, reward, and relief.

Before you dive into another boozey Friday and a Saturday full of regret, try this!

~ P a u s e ~

Ask yourself:

》 What do I really need right now?

》 Where can I give myself permission to rest?

》 What helps me decompress without regret?

How can I meet my needs in a nourishing way, a way that I truly deserve.

Because you absolutely deserve better, and the more you understand the need beneath the craving, the less power the craving has.

The goal here isn’t to give something up — it’s to give yourself back what alcohol has been pretending to offer, and to do this, you need self-awareness.

If you know this story too well, if you are tired of the cycle and you feel ready to be supported. DM me FREEDOM. I support women, stuck in a cycle of grey area drinking to find freedom from booze, successfully ♡

Why?

Because that moment, the one you’re calling a failure,
is actually feedback.

It’s showing you where your nervous system, your habits, or your emotions felt unsafe without the drink.

That’s powerful information.

You didn’t ruin anything — you revealed something.

As midlife women, we have so much to juggle;

the roles,
responsibilities,
the endless tasks and to do's

This isn’t about white-knuckling your way through a month to try and prove to yourself and everyone else you don't have 'a problem' with alcohol ;

it’s about understanding why alcohol still feels like the only way to get through it all.

Once you learn what that drink is really trying to do for you — that’s when freedom begins.

If you are a grey area drinker and feel stuck, please don’t give up.

Join me — I’ll help you turn that “slip” into your biggest step forward yet.

I have space to support 3 women on a one to one basis immediately, and my new group programme, the Freedom Pathway, starts in January.

You feel anything but refreshed when you wake.

The taste and the smell of last night's booze on your breath.

Today is the day you were thinking about yesterday (and the day before that, and the day before that, too).

Today IS the day. No more, never again.

And as the day wears on your thoughts, turn to drink.

You know you shouldn't, you know you mustn't.

It's constantly on your mind.

So you decide if you push back the time and only have one, it will be okay.

And so the cycle continues.

The shame, the guilt, the cover-ups.

If you're ready to break the cycle, DM me, let's start a conversation.

It is all about the baby steps...

Keep on taking them,...

ONE DAY YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME.

Sending love to those that need it right now ♡

If you’ve ever said,

“I don’t know how to truly relax or connect without alcohol,”

please know you’re not broken. You’ve just been conditioned to believe it is true.

Our culture tells us that drinking takes the edge off, helps loosen up, helps us to cope, to connect.

But what it really does is create a quiet disconnection — from your feelings, your intuition, and your truth.

The good news?

Everything you need is already inside of you.

It just needs space to breathe again, without being muted by booze 💛

If you are ready to find freedom from alcohol. Let's talk!

Who you kiddin' sister!!

It sounds responsible, sensible, doable even, buuuuut

MONDAY
IS
NOT
MAGICAL!

We act like Monday has some kind of reset superpower — like we’ll suddenly wake up motivated, disciplined, and ready to “do better.”

But Monday is just another day. Waiting for the perfect moment is just another way of staying stuck.

Change feels hard. Saying “I’ll start Monday” is really saying, “I don’t want to deal with this right now.”

But here’s the thing: there’s no future version of you that’s more capable than the you that exists right now.

You can start with one different choice today.

If you want to find FREEDOM from Alcohol and are eager to step into that future version of yourself now, come and say Hi in my DM's.

Morning all ☀️

What a beautiful start to Sunday!

This week, I’m feeling so grateful for this journey —

The life experiences.
The lessons.
The sharing.
The progress.
The little wins and those glorious lightbulb moments💡

I’m truly privileged to step into the worlds of the those I support — to witness their growth, their courage, and their transformation and for what they teach me too.

All roads lead to here 💥

What if it were true that the relief you seek from alcohol, can be achieved by embracing your true self?
As women, we wear sooooo many hats 👒

The mother. The partner. The friend. The carer. The professional.

The one who holds it all together — even when we’re quietly falling apart.

So it makes sense that we crave relief

To take the edge off.
To relax.
To escape.
To feel like “us” again — even if it’s just for a bit 🍷

We tell ourselves we are making time for ourselves, selfcare, perhaps.

But here’s the truth babes.

It’s not the booze giving you relief — it’s the moment you stop hiding your true self.

It’s that tiny window where you finally exhale.

YOU LET YOURSELF BE.

The peace you’re craving?

It’s already inside you.

Buried under the masks, the pressure, the people-pleasing, the perfection, and the performance.

That real, raw, gorgeously messy woman inside you —

she’s needs time to experience herself, as she is!
When you start coming home to her, everything changes.

Allowing YOU to be YOU where it is at.

Alcohol offers temporary relief, but never the nourishing relief your soul truly craves.

If you are ready to rediscover yourself – DM me FREEDOM. Let's start that journey together.

You’re not weak — your brain’s doing exactly what it’s been trained to do: seek relief.

The day has been heavy, and you crave a release. You feel as though you deserve it.

So you head to the fridge for that well-earned drink.

Then another.

And another after that, too.

Then you realise you've done it again. The shame sets in, and you start to worry about the morning that is yet to come.

You desire change, but for some reason, you keep repeating the pattern.

You are not alone 🤗

It makes total sense that you feel this way. Alcohol is a powerful and deceiving substance after all, but confidence is not about being the most chatty person in the room. It is being comfortable in your own skin, it's about knowing your worth, even when you are quiet, or just not feeling it.

Alcohol gives you permission to be someone else. Sobriety gives you permission to embrace yourself and rediscover who you really are!

If you are concerned about your use of Alcohol and you wanted to start exploring your why, come and say 'Hi' to me in my DM's.

If I had a pound for every time someone told me that Alcohol gives them confidence…

I used to believe that on a subconscious level too. But here’s the truth — alcohol doesn’t make you more confident; it simply lowers your inhibitions.

You become less self-conscious,
then less self-aware,
and ultimately… less you.

You start behaving out of character. And while it might feel like you’re being more “out there,” more outspoken, more fun, more witty, a better dancer, even better in bed — the reality is, you’re slowly losing yourself.

I’ve known people who are the life and soul of the party, but when you meet them sober, they’re almost unrecognisable. And honestly? I’d rather know the authentic version of you any day of the week.

If you don’t feel like you’re enough when you’re sober, congratulations — you’ve just uncovered your first trigger for using Alcohol, the way you do.

And that’s exactly where the real work begins.

Since giving up alcohol, I’m more confident than I’ve ever been — not the loud, boozy, performative kind, but the grounded, “I like who I am” kind.

And guess what… I can still dance with the best of them! 💃✨

If you feel ready to explore the real you, without the boozey-guise let's have a conversation about that.

You'll find me in my DM's.

Much love x

It is possible to have an awesome night out AND feel fresh, energised, and make the most of the day after, too.

It is possible to develop your own, authentic confidence and be more YOU than you’ve ever been.

You can be truly PRESENT when you’re not living in the grips of alcohol — either jaded from the night before or consumed by when your next drink is coming.

You can find FREEDOM from booze.

If you’re ready to start making that change, DM me now — let’s talk about what’s possible for you.
