Hey there.
I’m Julie. And I’m so glad you’re here.
Sobriety is my jam. In a world that tries to convince you that you need alcohol to have fun, to socialize, to thrive, to cope, to relax… I’m here to show you the other side of that, and help you find it for yourself.
Because I promise – you don’t need alcohol.
I know what it’s like. You know you need to quit drinking, but something always seems to derail you. Or you’ve quit, but life still feels blah and empty, and you keep wondering… is this it?
Living a sober life CAN be amazing. But you’ve got to do the work to get there.
I’m here to show you what it looks like to create a life so full there’s no space left for alcohol.
