You run off coffee until it's acceptable to drink wine.
Where the moments are precious and pure, the hidden burdens of motherhood and society's expectations leave you feeling overwhelmed, lonely, and falling behind.
With a to-do list a mile long and insufficient time in a day, you're desperate to unwind and quiet the noise in your head.
You're intrigued by the notion of experiencing motherhood without alcohol, yet the social stigma, labels, and the thought of forever feel too big.
YOU'RE IN THE THICK OF IT...
Michelle's stellar expertise and reputation made working with her a no-brainer. Of course, all the moms want to work with her; she's the best.

A pattern of occasional and controlled drinking gradually evolved into a daily routine and became my primary method of coping. I was aware that my relationship with alcohol was unhealthy, yet my objective was not to quit entirely but to regain control.
Over several years, my attempts at moderation were met with resounding failure as the inevitable consequences piled up. As an adult orphan, I understood the challenges of not having parents, and I realized I was subjecting my children to a similar experience. On November 24th, 2016, I awoke burdened with profound shame and regret, marking the last such morning. As I navigated the journey of sobriety in a culture that often glorifies alcohol, I developed a solution that I wish I had access to when seeking help.
Motherhood hit me like a ton of bricks.
i can help becuase I've been therE.
I had been making the process of eliminating alcohol from my life overly complicated. Michelle's course, Simplify Sobriety, truly lives up to its name. It helped me uncover numerous truths and confront limiting beliefs about alcohol. By the end of the course, I emerged with a fresh mindset and invaluable coping tools.

I'm not a regular mom; I'm a sober mom, where I'm highly caffeinated, always down for a sweet treat, high- waisted everything, and have zero shame. You in?
