Sober Sabbatical
Hi, I’m Mama with a Mocktail...
When we first started Enjoy Mocktails, I was the mom who wanted to help other moms realize that wine wasn't a required reward at the end of a long day. This year, I’m coming back to what matters most to me - helping women rethink the role alcohol plays in their lives and put a pause on drinking. So, I created Sober Sabbatical.
Welcome to Sober Sabbatical!
Sober Sabbatical is about learning to drink differently. We have our Sober Sabbatical 90 day program and our one-on-one coaching programs where you'll start to take a pause from alcohol.
In our 90 day program, each week, you'll get an email with ways to help you to understand how alcohol has been part of your life. In the emails you'll gain clarity, get curious and find the confidence so you can rethinking your relationship with alcohol. But, it's not just about alcohol. Sober Sabbatical is also about taking a pause so you can discover what matters the most to you.
In Sober Sabbatical you’ll be guided through a simple, supportive structure that helps you stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed.
It’s not about never drinking again—it’s about giving yourself the confidence to choose what matters most. Sober Sabbatical is a season of stepping back to reset your habits, reconnect with yourself, and become more aware of changing things in your life.
During our Sober Sabbatical program, you’ll learn how to:
- Practice the pause—the moment everything begins to change
- Navigate stress, social situations, and triggers with intention
- Reconnect with who you are without alcohol in the background
- Have honest, empowering conversations with yourself
It's time to remember to fill your cup with what truly matters most.
My Sober Journey
Six years ago, the non-alcoholic movement was just beginning. The term sober curious was a new phrase and all you could find in a store, as a non-alcoholic option, was soda and O'Douls. The conversation around drinking less was only beginning.
I understand what it's like to want to put a pause on drinking alcohol. My relationship with alcohol was an unhealthy one. I was the party girl in college who later became the mom who used alcohol to cope with the overwhelm, stress of life, and a strained marriage.
For years, I knew I needed to change my drinking, but the choices felt too extreme. I knew I needed to stop drinking alcohol and there were many times I wanted to stop. I just wasn't really sure how. It always seemed like either I'd keep drinking the way I was, or commit to an all-or-nothing version of never having alcohol again.
I wasn't ready for "never again." I didn’t want to say I could never toast with champagne at a wedding or never enjoy a glass of red wine with a nice steak dinner. I wanted something more honest and more flexible. I wanted something more supportive, without the pressure. I didn't want to feel like one drink of alcohol meant I failed. I wanted something that made room for real life, for options, and for defining growth my way. I feel that choosing to having a drink of alcohol doesn't erase the progress you've made and what you've learned. It's ok to reset, again. It's ok to try, again.
I believe that changing your relationship with alcohol is not always a straight line, and one misstep does not erase your awareness, your progress, or everything you’ve already learned.
My Turning Point
I stopped drinking during one of the most difficult seasons of my life — right at the beginning of my divorce. I knew my normal way of coping - by numbing the pain with alcohol wasn't going to get me through it. I had to do something different. So I boxed up the alcohol and threw it in the trash.
I had some painful days, lonely days, and overwhelming days. Days when no one would have questioned a glass (or bottle) of wine. But, I chose not to use alcohol to get through the difficult days.
Sometimes I still surprise myself that I don't need alcohol. It wasn't easy, but what began as a personal decision slowly became something bigger . The temptations and cravings were fewer and each month it became easier. I didn't miss alcohol anymore. I realized I wasn’t just changing what I was drinking, I was finally choosing things that mattered most to me - being a healthier, happier mom who didn't have to use alcohol as a mask.
Why I Created the Program
This year, I'm choosing to be much more authentic and rediscover who I am. I wanted to create something that felt more personal and create something that reflected what I’ve learned — professionally, personally, and through some of the hardest seasons of my life. Sober Sabbatical speaks to the woman who wants to feel better, live more honestly, and stop relying on the things that numb her instead of truly supporting her. It's time to step into the woman you want to become.
I studied health in college and worked for a few years in employee wellness for large companies. I'd gave presentations educating others about stress, health and work-life balance. But, back then, I was young, single and didn't have children. Now, I've lived through various seasons of life. I've experienced what it means to carry too much, numb too often, and have to rebuild from the inside out.
This program was created for women who want a thoughtful, real approach to drinking less — no shame, no extremes, and no rigid set of rules. Alcohol does not have to be your default on a hard day. It does not have to anchor every celebration, dinner, or social event. And ,it does not have to be the thing you automatically reach for because it's just want you do.
A Sober Sabbatical is about making intentional choices — to choose yourself, to choose what matters, and to stop hiding behind a bottle that only ends up empty. It's time to get honest and have someone help you who gets it.

Who This Is For
Sober Sabbatical is for women who identify as social or moderate drinkers and want to explore their relationship with alcohol. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to not have alcohol in your life, this program is for you.
This program may be a good fit if you:
- are tired of relying on alcohol to cope with stress, overwhelm, boredem, or hard seasons
- want to take a break from drinking without the pressure of an all-or-nothing approach

If you believe you are physically dependent on alcohol or need medical support to stop drinking safely, this program is not the right fit. Please seek guidance from a qualified medical or addiction treatment professional.
Enjoy Mocktails began as a product. Sober Sabbatical became the plan. And together, they support the pause — a more intentional way to rethink drinking, reconnect with yourself, and choose what truly serves you.
