I've helped women from all around the world quit drinking and create alcohol-free lives they love. Scroll through these stories and see which ones resonate with you the most! All the women on this page are graduates of my 6-week online coaching programme, Getting Unstuck. Registration is open now!
Susan: “I am grateful every day that I am no longer held hostage by a wine bottle. You’ll never smash a glass ceiling with a wine glass in your hand.”
Courtney: “You feel like there's something wrong with you...I even considered getting a tattoo to remind me to stick to two drinks. Thank goodness I didn't!"
Jo: “I was about to become a grandmother for the first time, and I wanted to be trusted to help look after him.”
Melissa: “I decided to quit drinking whilst working as a nurse during the height of the pandemic – and it made my life so much easier.”
Su: “The wheels fell off in 2012… each night, the bottle would be opened and the numbing began. At that time I don’t think I knew how to cope in any other way.”
Gemma: “Sobriety helped me lose weight and lose my anxiety – I’m a completely different person now, I was so stressed before.”
Diarra: "In my mind I switched my identity. I’m just a non drinker. My life comes without alcohol now. Going against the grain felt like a super power."
Michele: "If my daughter could say thank you to you, she would. It was horrendous what I was putting her through. She sees Mummy as a happy go-lucky person now."
Jane: “I used to think that drinking and being the party girl was so much a part of who I was. But actually, I was all the good things despite the fact that I drank a lot, not because of it.”
Lauren: “I wish I’d known that it is possible to not want to have a drink. Before the course I thought I would always feel as if I’m missing out.”
Louise: “The course helped me be positive about giving up drinking and I felt less isolated – it was full of women very like me.”
Vivienne: “My life has improved immensely. I wish I knew about this course 20 years ago, my life would look very different.”
Joanne: “The title of the course, Getting Unstuck, is very apt. It released me from the constant battle and freed me to enjoy a better life.”
Dove: “I’m still the same person I was before – just with a better memory, health and way more patience!”
Cassandra: “I actually have a life now! Before when I was drinking, I felt like a shell of a person… Now I’m experiencing life for what it truly is.”
Jo: “Joining the course was one of the best things I’ve done in the last decade. My whole outlook on alcohol has completely changed.”
Jane: “Before the course, my longest period of sobriety in the last 30 years – excluding my pregnancies – was 3 days.”
Susie: “Not drinking has been better for me on so many levels… I’ve got way more confidence and I’m not as anxious as I used to be.”
“My family and my husband in particular are just so proud of everything I’ve done. Our relationship has really improved.”
“Finding a group of women who felt the same way that I did, with an issue that creates a lot of shame and isolation, was a massive relief.”
“I wake up every morning feeling so much fresher, so much better, I sleep well and I don’t have anxiety.”
“The debunking of the myths about alcohol really helped me. Once we boiled it all down, I really couldn’t think of a single benefit.”
“Before I started Kate’s class, I felt trapped. Every evening I drank a bottle of wine… and every morning I woke up hating myself.”
“Nothing owns me any more. I feel completely free… everything is easier since I quit drinking, I can cope so much better.”
“I feel so much better about who I am. I’m a much better mother, I’m calmer, I’m better able to handle things.”
“I’m now 506 days alcohol free and I have achieved things this past year that I just didn’t think would have been possible.”
“Kate made me feel that I wasn’t a horrible person for drinking too much – there were reasons for it and I could change.”
