The Empowerment Experiment
Could you give up one thing; if it meant you would get everything?
A 90 day alcohol-free experiment for women who want to glow home back to themselves.
On 8 January 2026, I made one major commitment to myself:
Experiment with 90 days of alcohol free living.
I genuinely had no idea how much this experiment would change my life.
It was honestly one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, which feels vulnerable to admit.
I do not consider myself someone who struggled with alcohol addiction. But over time, I had quietly fallen into habits that felt incredibly normal: a glass or two of wine most nights. More after difficult days that I had been in Court... more on weekends. Using alcohol to unwind, socialise, celebrate, but mostly to cope.
And slowly, without really noticing, I stopped feeling like myself.
I felt inflamed. Exhausted. Disconnected from my body. I was still teaching Pilates classes on weekends, working hard as a lawyer, showing up for life, but underneath it all, I didn’t feel fully aligned.
I had done the odd Dry July or Sober October before, but never more than 30 days in my adult life without alcohol.
The first month of the experiment was the most difficult, because what made this experience different was that in the past, I would hermit myself for 30 days then go straight back to old habits. As they say, they die hard! This time my goal was integration with my daily life because I wanted to build something more sustainable.
What I discovered though this experiment was that if you are looking for a genuine nervous system reset, the magic number is a minimum of 90 days.
Around the 63 day mark, everything shifted.
I slept better than I had in years, no more 2 am - 4 am wakeups. My anxiety dropped. My energy came back. I became clearer in my decisions, my relationships, and the way I moved through the world.
And physically, my body transformed . I lost the 10 extra pounds I’d been carrying since becoming a lawyer … and then another 10. But more importantly, I felt at home in my body again. Simple movements like crossing my legs no longer felt like a struggle!
I finally gave myself the chance to feel what life was like without numbing it.
This experiment changed my relationship with alcohol completely. But more than that, it changed my relationship with myself.
And because of that, I’m so excited to officially launch The Empowerment Experiment.
A three month+ coaching journey for women who are curious about what might happen if they gave themselves the same opportunity.
This is Not a shame-based program. This is Not rehab. This is Not AA. This is an experiment in expansion, clarity, confidence, health, and self trust.
Maybe this is for you if…
You have started quietly questioning your relationship with alcohol
You are a high performing woman who keeps it all together but knows deep down she’s coping
You are having trouble sleeping through the night
You have put on weight and are not sure what has changed because your diet and exercise are the same
You have inconsistent energy
Your workouts are irregular because some mornings you wake up a little foggy and just don’t feel like moving
You know this is going to be hard, and you would love a supportive group of women who have been through this too
What changes can you expect in 90 days?

I literally lost 20 lbs

How the Experiment Works
12 women maximum
An intentionally small cohort for depth, accountability and real connection
Weekly video calls
Live zoom sessions focused on reflection, nervous system self regulation tools, mocktail recipes … seriously this helps!
Private support
Individual check-ins and ongoing email support throughout the experiment.
90 days alcohol-free
This is NOT forever, unless you decide you want it to be! This is an intentional recalibraton.
Real life integration
Dating, dinners, work events, weekends, travel, stress, celebrations - we talk through it.
The Founding Philosophy
I created the Empowerment Experiment because I could not find a space that reflected my experience and the support I would have loved.
I wasn’t looking for a recovery program, I was looking for expansion.
I wanted to create a space for intelligent, high functioning women who were curious about what life looked like with more clarity, energy and self-respect.
