You're In The Right Place If

  • You've done Dry January before and it worked...but not for long. You KNOW you need a different approach and something...juicier!!

  • You’re a food and wine connoisseur and you second-guess wanting to quit by thinking that a total break from alcohol is just being extreme.

  • Your drinking is not THAT bad. In fact, part of what keeps you stuck is questioning whether your level of drinking is REALLY cause for concern.

  • You’ve read the Quit Lit and you’ve taken breaks before, but there are still beliefs hanging on that drinking is part of a sophisticated lifestyle and your can’t imagine a European or lake vacation without it!

  • You’re convinced that not drinking would be better for your overall health, but you can’t shake the thought that not ever drinking again seems like cruel punishment or that vacations, girls weekends and celebrations call for a glass of bubbles.

  • You sometimes worry that you’re letting others down if you’re not participating in the drinking.

  • You do great being alcohol-free for about two weeks, and then your brain tells you it’s time for a drink to reward yourself because you’re so good about your health in so many other ways.

  • You know that you’ve got a pretty great life, but you sometimes resent that middle age can feel like we’re losing things (maybe our mobility or flexibility, our identity as mothers or professionals, our profile in an ageist culture, or our hormones (or our marbles, lol!!)

  • AND especially if...you're doing OK stringing days or months together but you’re. not. having. much. fun!!

I get it!! And I know your life can feel so much better than that.

I believe with all my heart that You Deserve A Luscious, Juicy Life.

I was exactly where you are now! I twisted my brain into knots with rationalizations that my drinking wasn’t any worse than anyone else’s in the wine industry or maybe that I didn’t even drink as much as others did! I had absorbed deep cultural messaging around the idea of all things in moderation and that breaking up with alcohol for good seemed extreme. I mean, shouldn’t savvy, well-traveled food and wine enthusiasts (and insiders) be able to moderate? Plus, as long as consumed in moderation, wine’s as healthy as dark chocolate, right?
I'm Ready!

But I didn't feel well...

I was waking up at 3 a.m. (you too?), beating up on myself. I had brain fog and worried about cognitive function. I had acid reflux. But every afternoon, like a special form of amnesia, I’d forget my middle-of-the-night promise to take the next night off. My attempts to put boundaries around drinking just weren’t working. (well of course they weren’t working - I didn’t have ANY tools or the necessary knowledge!) Until one day when my intuition screamed even louder than it had been screaming. “It doesn’t matter how much other people are drinking compared to you,” it said, “or what a doctor would say. There is only one question to ask. How do you feel? And would you feel a little better with less or none?”

At that same moment, I also heard another message.

“Your drinking doesn’t look like a problem to others (we’re gray-area drinkers after all). So no one is coming. It’s got to be YOU!!”

BUT, I both wanted and didn’t want to do it!! Wine felt like…adulthood, romance, beauty, connection, philosophy, poetry, history, love. It felt like the answer when stressed, bored, excited, sad, blissed. SO, I decided that I wouldn’t give it up after all!! I mean, I would leave the ethanol behind, but I would continue to lap up sensory pleasure, ritual, the art of the table, artisanal products and life itself! That’s what Luscious AF is about! Embracing and savoring sensory pleasure and focusing on delight, awe and the gain is the heart of my approach because it is the quickest and most enduring way to slay the old beliefs about alcohol that hold us back from feeling totally alive and free!
Sign Me UP!

The Luscious AF framework is focused on you thriving, not just on a bottle of wine with an X through it.

FAQ

  • What makes this program work and why is it different?

    Most coaching packages and programs focus on the behavior, they don’t “fill your cup back up” and they don’t show you how to stay stopped and enjoy it! And none of them were specifically created to address the concerns of the savvy food and wine connoisseur. Once I realized that alcohol was taking more than giving, I found in This Naked Mind the compelling science I needed and the tactics to take a 30-day break and to start to question old beliefs about alcohol. And while other people on the journey seemed to be asking the question, without alcohol, will I ever have fun again? -- I wanted to ask something bigger, like how can I get back in the driver's seat and create a more engaged, joyful, full-bodied and luscious life, filled with connection and meaning? I didn't see that anywhere, so I created it!

  • What can I expect from this program?

    I’m giving you permission to make this a 3-month luscious sabbatical! Steep yourself in the content, and follow my prompts and suggestions to layer on multi-sensory practices, activities and rewards! You will be significantly upping your joie de vivre! You can expect a heaping serving of inspiration and motivation! You’ll experience shifts in the stories you’re telling yourself about this journey and the way you identify. You’ll begin to train your brain to see more delight and to spot more opportunities to get what YOU want out of social events and life in general.

  • What's the time commitment?

    You decide! This program is for you! For each week, there are 4-5 videos and each is only 2-10 minutes long. Each video has a journaling prompt(s) that you are encouraged to engage with. When run as a small group, participants are not expected to attend all calls! Each call is 75 minutes but of course folks can just let me know and drop whenever they need to! There's no pressure, and no feeling "behind!" Everyone will have access to the material for as long as they want!!

  • Why now?

    I think you and I are at a cross-roads in life. And frankly, we get to choose what comes next. Clearing alcohol out of the way restores our ability to think more clearly, more creatively, more expansively. I’m guessing you’ve spent enough time taking care of others! In fact, you might have even supplied the fuel for someone else’s rocket, or the nurturing mama bird that helped your kiddos fly the nest. Now is the perfect time to take a heaping helping of sumptuous self-care, pleasure and adventure, and fuel your own delicious journey.
