Description

Emily Allen transformed her relationship with alcohol while raising her children, and now guides women in creating an exciting next chapter filled with clarity, authentic connections, and true freedom as they transition to their empty nest years.

• Daily wine had become a numbing ritual, especially during COVID lockdowns
• A horrible Christmas morning hangover became the turning point
• Dry January 2021 became the gateway to permanent sobriety
• Sleep quality dramatically improved within weeks of quitting
• "Wine mom culture" normalizes drinking as necessary for stress management
• Moderation attempts create mental gymnastics and decision fatigue
• Social relationships often shift, revealing which connections were alcohol-dependent
• Breaking neural pathways requires creating new evening rituals
• Midlife health risks from alcohol increase significantly, especially breast cancer risk
• Baseline anxiety levels noticeably decrease after sustained sobriety
• Empty nesting provides the perfect opportunity for transformation
• Emily now offers a 12-week group program launching May 12th
