When life feels harder than it should… even without alcohol

A free, live workshop that will teach you skills to make life feel a little less overwhelming.

You quit drinking… And you know you’re better off, but some days life still just feels really, really hard.

  • You spend too many days feeling like you’re one frustrating moment away from totally falling apart.
  • You do everything for everyone else until you’re running on empty and crash.
  • The smallest things push you over the edge.
  • Every day runs into the next with no way to reset.
  • You wake up already feeling behind and dreading the day ahead.

The reason life feels so hard sometimes isn’t because you’re not drinking. It’s because you never learned how to increase your capacity for stress and challenging emotions.

That’s what we’re gonna talk about. And we’re going to do it in a way that leaves you with actual things you can do – this week – to increase your capacity so life starts feeling better.

What Exactly Will We Do In This Workshop?

In this live workshop, you’ll walk away with:

  • A clear understanding of why stress hits so hard sometimes (and why it feels like it comes out of nowhere)
  • A simple way to catch it earlier, before it builds into overwhelm
  • A realistic plan you can use on normal days to keep you steady

So instead of feeling like you’re constantly reacting…
you’ll know exactly what to do when things start stacking up.

Why now?

You shouldn’t have to ignore your own needs and miss out on the important things in life. Sure, it’s possible to stay sober when you’re living in a constant state of stress, but it’ll always feel like a fight. And you deserve more than that.

You deserve to have the confidence of knowing you can handle what life throws at you, without falling apart. That you can create time for the things that matter, without feeling guilty or lazy.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with a simple framework you can use anytime stress starts to build, so you’re not stuck white-knuckling your way through the day.

    Hey there, I’m Julie. I teach the emotional skills that most of us never learned. Alcohol used to be a way to cover up all the things I didn’t know how to deal with… until it became more of a problem than a solution. My own path has been based on building emotional and relational skills so that life without alcohol feels like a happy choice, not a life sentence. Now, I use the skills I’ve learned and the practices I’ve developed to help others do the same.

    What to bring
    • A notebook or journal
    • Something to write with
    • A quiet spot, if that’s possible
    • An open mind and a willingness to reflect

    What to expect
    We’ll start with some teaching time where you’ll learn key concepts and ideas. Then we’ll have space for some discussion-based learning. You’re welcome to participate as much or as little as you like. You can keep your camera off if that’s more comfortable. There’s no pressure here. Just a relaxed space to connect with one another and gain some skills to make life feel a little more manageable.

    If you’re ready to manage stress instead of feeling hijacked by it, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you’re here.
