Tired of alcohol taking up more headspace than it deserves?
It’s time to prioritise you. You know that alcohol is playing a role that you’d like to change. But you’re fed up of the same old same old, keeping you stuck in a rut that you’re ready to get out of.
Over the next 28 days, you’ll work through your own habits, patterns and intentions, learn what to do when you face setbacks, and build your own path to taking back the power of choice from alcohol to build a way of drinking that fits the life you want to live.

This is for you if…
✔️ You’re fed up with negotiating with yourself and feeling like you never win
✔️ You keep promising yourself next time will be different
✔️ You want your drinking habits to match your standards
You do not need a rock bottom moment to decide you’re ready to change how you allow alcohol to show up in your life.
SAME DRINK. SAME DEBATE.
You know you are capable of change. But you need something more useful than another promise to “be good”.
The wine o’clock reflex
The stress, the mess & the mayhem. They’re not going away. The end of the day rolls around, and before you know it, old habits are making choices for you that don’t serve the life you want anymore.
The social negotiation
Will they notice? Will they comment? Will I still be fun? Navigating your social landscape without a drink in your hand was never on the cards, and now you’re wondering what that could actually look like for you in real life.
The morning-after frustration
The hangovers, even the little ones, are just a bore now and you’ve had enough. So why do you keep ending up back in this position? Why does alcohol get to take up yet more of your precious time?
HOW THE RESET WORKS
One month. Four clear jobs.
For 28 days, I’ll send you one short email every morning, along with a private podcast version if you would rather listen. Each day gives you something tangible to think about, try or use. It takes a few minutes, then you get on with your day, taking your change with you.
1
Notice what is happening
Get properly familiar with when, why and how you drink, including the habits you barely notice anymore.
2
Start changing things
Try different ways of handling evenings, social situations, other people and the moments when your plans usually disappear.
3
Deal with real life
Work out what to do when you are stressed, tired, fed up, tempted or simply cannot be bothered.
4
Decide what happens next
Take what worked and use it to build your own realistic way of drinking less after the Reset ends.

Your 28-day guide
What you’ll work through each week
Each week has a clear job. The work builds in order, leaving you with a personal framework rather than another collection of disconnected tips.
WEEK 01
Reset Your Mindset
Understand the part alcohol plays in your life now and why your plans keep changing.
- Look honestly at your current drinking
- Spot your triggers, beliefs and repeated negotiations
- Understand what drinking in midlife is costing you
What you create: A clear picture of what is happening and what you want to change.
WEEK 02
Stay social without giving your choices away
Prepare for the people, places and occasions that put your intentions under pressure.
- Set boundaries you can genuinely keep
- Build responses that feel right for you
- Plan for work events, nights out and the people who take your drink personally
What you create: Your own plan for socialising without spending the entire event defending your glass.
WEEK 03
Deal with stress, energy and the 5pm pull
Work on the moments when a drink feels like the quickest answer to the day you have had.
- Recognise the point where stress becomes an automatic drink
- Create alternatives that work in ordinary life
- Track what changes in your sleep, energy, mood and thinking
What you create: A practical pressure-release plan for tired, irritated and completely-done days.
WEEK 04
Build the way you want to drink from here
Bring the work together so Day 29 does not become another return to old habits.
- Decide what moderation means for you
- Create your personal drinking philosophy
- Plan for wobbles without declaring the whole thing ruined
What you create: A clear framework for drinking less that belongs in your life.
Take a look inside the reset.
See before you buy
See a little of what happens inside The Reset from day-to-day:
WEEK 1 · MINDSET
Day 3: Midlife; The Perfect Storm
SHIFTING PATTERNS
You might not be drinking the way you used to, but alcohol has probably become more central to your daily routine.
What used to be social drinking has evolved into a regular habit, built up over many years, from the after-work wind-down to the post-bedtime relief; even your traditional Sunday Roast has become unthinkable without a drink in hand.
Daily action task: Start to build your new way e.g. Stressor: Teenage dramatics – How alcohol helps: Takes the edge off frustration – Alternative: Call a friend and laugh about the crazy stuff you did together as teenagers.
WEEK 2 · SOCIAL
Day 8: Setting Boundaries Without Apology
WHY BOUNDARY SETTING FEELS SO HARD
You’ve been socialised to prioritise the comfort of others over your own well-being for some time now.
Particularly in midlife, you’re managing multiple relationships and responsibilities, making you feel like everyone else’s needs come first.
Takeaway: The boundary shift that changes everything: The most successful boundary-setters understand that confidence comes from internal conviction, not external validation.
WEEK 3 · STRESS
Day 15: Understanding Stress – What’s Really Happening in Your Body
Why midlife stress hits differently
Your hormones are already shifting (for men as well as for women), making you more sensitive to stress.
Recovery takes longer than it used to. You’re managing multiple life phases simultaneously – career peak, family demands, ageing parents. Plus, you have less tolerance for things that used to roll off your back.
Insight: Alcohol temporarily lowers cortisol, which feels like relief. But it also disrupts your natural stress recovery system, leading to higher baseline anxiety and worse stress resilience over time. It’s like using a credit card to pay off debt – temporary relief that creates bigger problems.
BUT THERE’S PLENTY OF FREE INFORMATION ABOUT DRINKING LESS…
I know. I’ve created a lot of it.
You can read an article about habits, listen to a podcast about boundaries and save another list of moderation tips. You still have to decide what applies to you, what order to tackle it in and what to do tonight.
The Reset brings that work together for you. It gives you one clear job each day and takes you from understanding your current drinking to creating your own plan for what happens next.
You are paying for the structure, the order, the application and the finished framework—not another pile of random information.

Feedback from participants
What others say about the Reset
“Looking at my roles and impact honestly has given me the ability to objectively look at my relationship with alcohol without being distracted by spiralling internal monologues.”
- Davinia
“The insights I have discovered about myself and what I thought was keeping me drinking… aren’t even real anymore. It was very freeing.”
- Kerryn
“The prompts have been really helpful as I find self-reflection really valuable. I find writing things out makes them stick and pop into my brain throughout the day.”
- Anon
WHY I CREATED THE RESET
This is the help I wanted when I decided to change the way I let alcohol into my life
Five years ago, I decided that the hangover was no longer a valuable price of admission, and so I went on a search for information that could help a 40-something mother of two make changes to her drinking without all the guilt for choices I’d made so far or the pressure to give up for life.
I couldn’t find it.
But now you can.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
A few sensible answers
To your most frequently asked questions
No. The goal of the Reset is to help you create a life less intoxicated, however that looks for you. If that means no alcohol for the majority of the time, that’s fine. If it means focusing on reducing the quantity or frequency of your drinking, that’s fine too. This is your life.
I hear you, no one’s got time to dedicate hours each day to something that’s already taking loads of their time. The daily morning prompts should take you 2-4 minutes to read, and 5-6 minutes to listen to on audio. The action task for that day might take anywhere from 5-10 minutes. All in all, that’s around 16 minutes a day to help you build a new relationship with alcohol.
Life as you know it will come to an end… Na, not really. All the material is yours to keep so you can go at your own pace. You might miss a day while the kids are sick or work demands pile up, or perhaps theres an action task you really want to dedicate some thinking space to. This is your Reset to manage as you please. Just ensure you keep the momentum going to get the most out of it.
No. The Reset is not a replacement for professional help with alcohol use disorder of any degree. If you feel you have a life-damaging problem with alcohol, please reach out to qualified services like Alcohol Change in the UK, or Rethinking Drinking in the US, or speak to your GP.
Spotify doesn’t currently allow the playing of private podcast feeds, but you will be able to listen in most other apps and access the audio directly from your device.
There’s no time like the present. You’ll receive all of your materials instantly, and the first daily nudge email will arrive in your inbox the morning after you sign up around 6am GMT.
The Reset gives you insight, structure and practical tools. It cannot make decisions for you, prevent every wobble, guarantee a particular drinking outcome or replace medical and therapeutic support.
