A big thank you for making sobriety an actual possibility in my life where anything else I have tried in the past has failed.

If you could...

confidently break the old drinking pattern...

...feel genuinely good about saying no to a drink,
and wake up energized and empowered each day—

 

...would you give yourself that gift? 

Or, would you keep on…

Lying awake at 3 a.m. with a pounding headache and scratchy throat, trying to piece together last night.

Staring down the wine bottle, whispering, “I’m stronger than this,” while fighting back the voice, “Just one glass won’t hurt.”

Feeling left out while sipping your sparkling water, trying to ignore the quiet whisper, “Why can’t I drink like everyone else?”

Waking up with a pit in your stomach, realizing you’ve broken yet another promise.

Good news:

An alcohol-free life doesn’t have to be so exhausting, dry, or filled with FOMO.

 

Inside our self-paced course and community,

Sober Curiosity Lab

You’ll uncover how to become empowered AF (alcohol-free
and reclaim joy and freedom, without relying on alcohol’s help. 

Why You Need to Discover How to Become Empowered AF—From a Therapist Turned Sobriety Guide

 

HEY, I'M JEANETTE!

 

Between the ages of 16 and 30, I drank myself to sleep every single night.

But when I finally decided it was time to break my drinking pattern,

I didn’t walk into an AA meeting—

I walked into graduate school.

 

And here’s what I know about you...

The answer to reclaiming joy and freedom from alcohol has zero to do with how motivated, determined, or capable you are.

(Because I know you are—that’s why you’re reading this.)

The answer is how soon you can find the right strategy that actually works for you.

And who’s better to show you that strategy than someone who’s already walked the road?

👉 You’re looking at her.

 

As a decade-long daily drinker turned psychotherapist, I quickly realized that the traditional approach to an alcohol-free life can be intuitive, yet counter-productive…

 

Because “just quit” is not always the answer.

Here’s why we really drink—

 

a loop that involves four hidden forces, and only one of them is actually about alcohol

 

Universal

Needs

Alcohol often serves a purpose — to help us relax, connect, or feel belong. 

Learned

Beliefs

We were taught to see alcohol as a shortcut to meet those needs — a way to unwind, be social, or fit in.

Habit

Loops

When drinking “works,” our brain takes note. With enough repetition, habit loops form, making drinking feel automatic.

Powerless

Mindset

We start to believe in stories like “I can’t have fun/relax/connect with others without drinking,” and these beliefs keep us stuck.

Once you understand these four hidden forces, breaking old drinking patterns stops being about “just stop drinking,” 

 

But about strategically outgrow the old drinking loop.

 

Here is how we do it inside Sober Curiosity Lab: 

Realign your needs with what truly matters to you

Rewrite the stories that keep fueling the desire to drink

 Build empowering skills to release alcohol as a crutch

 Upgrade the mindset to turns challenge into progress

 

So you can outgrow the old drinking loop — and unlock a joyful, empowered alcohol-free life.

3 Reasons Why You Want to Become Empowered AF: 

 

Empowered rather than “surrendered”

 

We believe what you lack is not power, but tools.

Alcohol serves a purpose in your lives, whether it’s helping you relax, have fun, manage loneliness, or ease boredom. 

To help you become Empowered AF, we don’t ask you to surrender — we show you how to intentionally replace alcohol with empowering tools.

Outgrown instead of “recovering” 

 

The mainstream narrative calls going alcohol-free “recovery.”

We see it as discovery.

Leaving behind a habit that no longer fits and embracing the possibility of something better is one of the most empowering choices you can make.

We call it consciously outgrowing. 

That’s why in the Lab, we don’t stop at breaking old patterns. We’re here to help you reinvent a joyful, fulfilling AF life that makes alcohol irrelevant.

Aligned instead of "Abstinent ”

 

The truth is, you’re not here to let go of alcohol just for the sake of letting it go.

You’re here because you want to make space for what matters more:

Family. Joy. Creativity. Growth. Meaning and true fulfillment

That’s why inside the Lab, you’ll never be asked to focus on “abstinence” for its own sake.

Instead, we are here to help you uncover what matters most to you and align your actions with your values.
