Life Off the Rocks

01/10/2026

Embrace the strength within your story & love your whole self
Align your mind, body, spirit, & purpose
Rediscover your passions to craft a thriving life that fulfills your soul

This is Happily Sober.

I truly believe that this program stands alone in the recovery community…
…because it is about running towards instead of running away.

I meet you where you’re at, & we’ll create a pathway to the life you envision, whatever that may be. There’s no strict dogma or rules to follow. Your pathway will be unique to you because you’re the only you that exists.

You don’t have to self-identify as an alcoholic. You only need to want change, to want to live your best life.

Our focus will be on who you want to be, what you want to do, how you want to feel. So you can live the life you love, instead of the life you love to escape from.

That’s what we do in our Weekly One-on-Ones. You get to dig deep within yourself - self-assessment, self-confrontation, self-acceptance. And you’ll have some homework.

In our Weekly group sessions, you’ll find community & comradery, compassion & support.

It’s called Happily Sober for a reason. I make sure that everything we do together creates the happiest sobriety & joyful life for you.

I've been quiet lately. Not anymore.

If your vision is to….
• Have more energy, patience, & free time to truly connect with loved ones
• Improve your sleep, your health, your clarity
• Become the best version of yourself: a better parent, partner, friend, human
• Discover the passions that ignite your soul
• Become who you always wanted to be when you grew up

But right now, you’re…
• Afraid because giving up alcohol feels like giving up fun, relaxation, rewards - like giving up a friend
• Doubting your ability to quit because you’ve tried before & failed or tried before & it felt awful
• Stuck in the moderation cycle - making rules around booze then breaking them
• Not “bad enough” to need help, but know you want a change
• Worried you’ll lose friends or be left out as “the sober one”
• Feeling frustrated with everything - your body, your self, life - and you don’t quite know why.

then the best way I know to help you is to:

• Embrace the strength within your story & learn to love your whole self;
• Align your mind, body, & spirit to create a life filled with purpose;
• Rediscover your passions to build a thriving life that fulfills your soul so much that alcohol isn’t even an afterthought.

The doors of Happily Sober are open to you.

I promise, you already have the ability & inner strength.
All you need is the compassionate guidance & accountability to make it happen
…and I have that.

If you’re someone who is truly committed to embracing a fun, joyful, alcohol-free lifestyle, I’d love to chat with you.

I have a few calendar spots open this week.
Message THAT’S ME! to claim one.

I believe we are on this earth to fully feel all that we can,
experience the interconnectedness of everyone,
& make a positive impact while we’re here.

Without that connection & impact, the world stays the same & feels less vibrant.

But when we follow our soul’s purpose, & pay it forward, inspiring others to do the same - we can create constant ripples of impact that become waves of transformation.

I’ve spent my whole life
discovering, learning, & growing into
the person I’m meant to be.
I have cultivated & nurtured
the capacity and ability needed
to serve others through my superpower,
to guide them through my soul’s mission,
to make the impact I was born to make.

And when we work together in the Happily Sober Program,
you'll embark on a transformational journey that will lead you to:
a place of self-love & serenity,
the ability to make confident choices fully-aligned with your values & vision,
a deep sense of gratitude for yourself & your life.

You will find yourself happily living in the present moment, free from toxic habits.

I know in my heart I'm meant to help you on this journey.
If you’re ready to create a life of purpose, connection, & happiness,
The Happily Sober Program is for you.

And don't be afraid to ask for help

01/04/2026

If you came to me and told me that you were
struggling with habits that no longer serve you,
doubting yourself & your ability to change,
longing for self-acceptance & inner peace,
and ultimately, feeling frustration with life, with yourself, & with everything,
here's what we would do together….

We’d create connection and supportive community through sharing our vulnerabilities, creating an understanding & compassionate common ground.

We’d unpack your story to understand what brought you here, then paint a picture of your fully-aligned future self.

We’d seek clarity by taking honest inventory and uncovering limiting beliefs.

We’d create meaningful, actionable steps towards a life you love, one that’s authentic & fulfilling.

We’d embark on a journey, focused on one step at a time, forging a pathway of incremental changes to mind, body, & spirit to reach your vision.

I’ve carefully crafted and cultivated this process
through years of
experience and experiments
refinement and realignment
mistakes and masteries

to meet you where you're at
and guide you step by step towards
happily living: thriving & present everyday,
free from the trappings of alcohol.

How’s that feel to you?

It's my soul’s purpose
to light the way
for those who are
determined, but struggling

I'm lighting the path for you
to follow your hearts & souls,
kicking off the journey towards
dancing through life with
playful joy & unconditional self-love.

I’m opening arms for the Live Music Lover
who loves reveling in the wild & free atmosphere of live shows & festivals,
But is often left feeling worn out, chasing away guilt & shame & hangxiety.
You are ready to try a dry lifestyle without losing out on your favorite music scene & fun-loving life.

I’m teaching transformation to the Motivated Mom & Dedicated Dad
The kind of parent who enjoys your kids & spending quality time together,
But has also found yourself stuck in the Wine-Mom or Beer-Dad memes, & can’t seem to shake free.
You are ready to be more present everyday, more patient with parenthood, & be a more positive example.

I’m lighting the way for the Weekend Warrior
The one who has your s**t together, doing all the things you’re “supposed to”: job, home, family, paying the bills, buying the stuff.
But still find yourself unhappy & wanting more out of life: more purpose, more joy, more peace.
You are ready to reconnect to yourself & feel connected to the world.

I’m sounding the signal for the Sober Curious
who socializes with friends & family & kicks back to relax with a few drinks,
But also wonders what giving up the drink might feel like, & maybe has tried before & found it difficult, tedious, boring.
You are ready to forge a new path towards an alcohol-free lifestyle that feels exciting, enjoyable, easy.

I’m channeling change for the Anonymous Alcoholic.
The one who’s been alcohol-free for a little while, or a long while,
But it's a daily struggle with a hovering fear of relapse because you're white-knuckling though it, laser-focused on ‘not drinking.’
You are ready to shift focus to creating a life so fulfilling that alcohol is irrelevant.

You are ALL open to grab the reins of life
inspired by a vision that
Life is More than just Surviving.

Do you see yourself above?

Because I see you
dreaming about what life could be
& who you can become.
I’m here to show you the way to
live your most vibrant life.

If you're in the "I don't know who the hell am without booze - and I don't know if I like this" stage....

Stick with it. It's gets SO much better. And reach out for support in the meantime 🧡

Alcohol wasn’t just a drink for me… it was an identity.

And if you think I was addicted to the buzz…
you don’t understand what I was getting from it.

Do you have any idea who I get to become when I’m numb to everything I hate about myself?

I become effortless.
I become funny.

I become the person who doesn’t overthink every sentence after I say it.

I become someone who can walk into a room without feeling like I’m taking up the wrong kind of space.

I stop hearing that voice that keeps score.
I stop feeling my shame in my throat.

I stop scanning faces for signs I’m “too much” or “not enough.”

Alcohol didn’t just take the edge off…

It gave me a version of myself I could finally stand to be around.

So yeah, of course I missed it when I got sober.
Not because I wanted to ruin my life…

but because I didn’t know how to be me without that shortcut.

Sober felt like raw exposure.
Like walking around without skin.

Like everyone could see every insecurity I was trying to keep hidden.

And that’s the part people don’t get.

When you take away the drinking, you don’t just take away a habit.

You take away my confidence.
My social settings.
My off switch.
My “I can handle this” button.

You take away the only version of me that felt acceptable.

So if you’re in that place right now…
missing the drink like you lost a piece of yourself…

You’re not crazy.
You’re not weak.

You’re grieving an identity that kept you functioning.

But listen… that version of you was borrowed.
And it came with interest.

The real flex of sobriety is building a self you don’t have to escape from.

Not overnight.
Not perfectly.

But for real.

One moment at a time… you learn how to be you without needing to disappear first.
