Overview

‘Mandy and Kate have done it again. I love how this book is based around seasons which fits so well with womanhood. But it’s also filled with really practical tools and tips that will help sober women as they take this journey. …Dive in you won’t be disappointed.’

Veronica Valli sober coach and author of Soberful

 

This book is for any woman that is sober or sober curious. It is here to support you on your journey to alcohol-free living.

 

The seasons are there for us all to use; the patterns and cycles offer a reference point that can help us as we navigate our sobriety. By tuning into nature’s ebb and flow, we can use its power to explore and support our sober lives in a long-term and sustainable way. 

 

Sober coaches Kate Baily and Mandy Manners offer positive and empowering ways to harness this power, exploring how old wisdoms, new science and the female experience can help guide you.

 

Packed with tasks to shift your mindset, questions for reflection, nervous system regulation techniques, as well as gratitude and intention setting exercises, this book is designed to be a constant companion nurturing you in your choice to be alcohol-free.
