Let’s just get to it: Alcohol isn’t helping you live your best life.
In fact, it might be the one thing quietly unraveling all the other hard work you’re doing.
I know — you’re eating clean, working out, showing up as your best self. But if you’re still drinking — even just “a little” — it’s likely canceling out the effort. Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, hormonally.
Even if you’re not drinking every day, the ripple effects are.
What If You Didn’t Need That Glass?
If I asked you to stop drinking, and your first reaction is, “Yeah, I could… but how would I relax? How would I have fun?” — then we need to talk.
Most of us aren't drinking for fun anymore. We’re drinking because we think we need to.
To relax.To socialize.To feel normal.To numb out.To get through.
But what if the things you're chasing in that glass — connection, calm, confidence — were already inside of you? What if you just needed a new way to access them?
The Unlock You Might Be Missing: Cycle Syncing
Enter: Cycle Syncing.
If you’ve been around my work, you know I preach this. But if you’re new here — welcome. Cycle syncing is not a “woo” concept or some influencer trend. It’s a biological blueprint.
It’s how you stop white-knuckling every “reset” or falling off the wagon mid-month.
It’s your hormonal weather map.
Most of us have never been taught that our energy, motivation, metabolism, and even how resilient we feel are tied to our cycle phases. And that these phases affect how easy or hard it is to make big changes — like quitting alcohol.
Once I learned this, it blew my mind.
I’d spent years trying to quit drinking — usually during my follicular phase, when motivation runs high. But every time I “failed,” it wasn’t because I lacked willpower. It was because I didn’t understand my own hormonal landscape.
Drinking Without a Map
Trying to break up with alcohol without understanding your cycle is like sailing into a storm with no compass.
I call quitting drinking an epic voyage — and if you were about to board a ship for a life-changing journey, you’d want to check the weather, right? You’d want to know when storms are coming and what supplies you’ll need.
Cycle syncing gives you that visibility.
It helps you see the patterns.It helps you stop sabotaging yourself.It teaches you to plan for rough patches — instead of being blindsided by them.
Estrogen Is a Diva (And PMS Isn’t a Character Flaw)
Here’s what we’re rarely taught:
During ovulation, estrogen peaks. You’re more energized, social, flirtatious — and impulsive. This is the phase where women are most likely to overdrink.
In the late luteal phase (PMS zone), you’re more likely to drink to cope. Energy drops. Motivation crumbles. You reach for wine not to celebrate — but to survive.
Sound familiar?
When you know this, you stop blaming yourself.You stop thinking, “What’s wrong with me?”And you start thinking, “This makes sense.”
Food as Fuel, Not Control
Another thing that changed everything for me? Learning to fuel my body for each phase — not restrict it.
In your luteal phase, for example, your body needs more carbs to support progesterone. That’s not a license to binge — it’s a green light to eat smart.

Give your body what it needs, and it will show up for you.
Why I Created Stop Drinking with Cycle Syncing
I didn’t always know this. For years, I was just trying to white-knuckle my way through resets, 30-day cleanses, and alcohol-free promises. And I always blamed myself when they didn’t stick.
Then I found cycle syncing. And everything changed.
This program was born from my lived experience:
As a mom who drank for every reason under the sun.
As a woman who felt ashamed of how she looked and how disconnected she felt in her own life.
And as someone who eventually found the clarity, tools, and science that actually worked.
Now I’m a certified alcohol-free life coach, studying functional nutrition, and combining mindset, hormone syncing, and real food to help you feel better — for good.
This Isn’t Just About Drinking Less — It’s About Living More
If you're in the “gray area” — not an alcoholic, but not feeling great either — this is for you.
If you’ve ever looked at old photos and thought, “I was there… but I wasn’t really present,” this is for you.
If you’re craving a way out that doesn’t feel extreme, scary, or lonely — this is for you.
