More about Becky
A Certified Alcohol Free Coach
Hi, I’m Becky - a certified alcohol-free performance coach who knows first hand how overwhelming life can feel when you're stuck in a cycle that no longer serves you. For years, I battled with low self-worth, constant anxiety, and a deep sense of dissatisfaction. Then, at 42, I made a powerful decision: I removed alcohol from my life - and everything changed.
My Journey
A Life-Changing Decision
In November 2023, at age 42, I made a life-changing decision - I removed alcohol from my life. I wasn’t physically dependent on alcohol; from the outside, my drinking looked like that of many others. But I was drinking too much and too often. It had become my go-to for everything - a stressful day, a productive day, boredom, socialising. Any excuse.
Struggling Beneath the Surface
​Beneath the surface, I was struggling. My mental health was deteriorating, my anxiety was through the roof, and I felt self-conscious about my weight. I was constantly exhausted from poor sleep, short-tempered with the kids, and inconsistent in almost everything I did. I lacked clarity, felt drained, and was unmotivated. In all honesty, I didn’t particularly like myself.
Taking the First Step
I knew something had to change. So, I decided to take a break from alcohol, not knowing how long it would last. I started listening to podcasts and was inspired by stories from people who had removed alcohol from their lives. I read quit lit (books on being alcohol-free), which opened my eyes to alcohol’s impact and fuelled my motivation to keep going. Slowly but surely, I hit milestones: 30 days, 90 days, 100 days. And the benefits started to show - better sleep, more energy, greater patience, stronger relationships with my kids, and a renewed sense of motivation.​
Unexpected Inner Growth
The biggest change however, and one I never expected, was inside. I began to understand myself on a deeper level and gained clarity on what truly mattered to me. That part was tough. I had to learn how to manage difficult emotions without alcohol as a crutch. I leaned into meditation, practiced gratitude, and made sure to get outside as much as possible. Over time, my mental health improved, my confidence grew, and I even lost 21 pounds as I became more consistent with exercise and nutrition. For the first time in years, I started to genuinely like myself.
Don’t get me wrong - life isn’t perfect. I have to work hard to maintain the routines that keep me feeling my best. But now, I recognise when things start to slip and know how to prioritise my wellbeing. When I first took a break from alcohol, I thought I’d be the same version of Becky - just without the drinks (and maybe a bit slimmer!). I couldn’t have been more wrong. This journey has been about so much more than quitting alcohol - it’s been about rediscovering my authentic self, building self-worth, and living with intention. And now, I want to help others do the same.
Becoming a Certified Coach
In December 2024, I qualified as a coach, earning a Diploma in Coaching and Positive Psychology, as well as a Certificate in Alcohol-Free Performance Coaching. My mission is to help people transform their relationship with alcohol - whether that means cutting back or removing it entirely - so they can experience the incredible freedom, clarity, and confidence that comes with it. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here to guide and support you. Let’s do this together!
