The Shift
After a lot of resistance, and a few attempts that didn't stick, I finally stopped drinking. I quit from one day to the next and promised myself I'd give it one year. I didn't frame it as ' forever'. Just an honest experiment. But by the time that year was over, the decision had already been made.
That year changed me in ways I never expected. Of course there were the obvious shifts - more energy, better sleep, clearer skin, a bit of weight loss. But those weren't the reasons I stayed alcohol-free. What surprised me the most were the changes I hadn't anticipated at all. I felt lighter. Happier. I felt more confident, steadier and far less concerned with what other people thought of me. The constant low-grade anxiety I had lived with for years quietly disappeared. It was as if a mental weight had lifted.
Those shifts were so significant and so freeing, that there was no way I wanted to give them up.
With alcohol no longer dragging me down, I finally had the mental space and energy to act on dreams that had lived on vision boards for years- like starting my own business and moving abroad.
My Mission
My mission: To help as many women as possible to experience the profound life upgrade that comes with living alcohol-free.
I know there are a lot of women out there who are feeling what I once felt. Maybe you're one of them.
And if you keep hearing that inner voice, telling you that alcohol might be the very thing holding you back- I want you to trust it. That voice is your intuition telling you it's time to level up. To stop settling for a version of life that feels just okay. It's asking you to be honest about the role alcohol is playing, and whether it's keeping you from living up to your full potential and expressing who you really are.
Quitting alcohol and making such a fundamental change in your life is not for the faint-hearted. More often than not, it means choosing a different path than the people around you and that can feel lonely at times. It's not easy to question something so normalized, let alone step away from it.
I've gathered the knowledge, tools, and support I wish I' d had during my first year of quitting alcohol. I shaped them into my program, so you don't have to figure it all out on your own. And if you've found yourself here, reading this right now, I trust it's not by coincidence. Sometimes we land exactly where we need to be.
With love,
Leontine
