Sobriety For The Sensitive Soul

Do I need to be newly sober to participate?

Sobriety for the Sensitive Soul is for those who are sober-curious (have a genuine interest in living a sober life), are newly sober, are wanting to re-enter or re-commit to their sobriety.

Who is this group for?

This group is for women, women-identifying and LGBTQ+ folks - it is a shared space where everyone's voice and experience matters. In order to keep everyone feeling welcome and comfortable, it's important to be thoughtful about the language you use and be respectful of others' lived experiences.

I’m new to the group program + coaching world - what should I expect?

It can be scary trying something for the first time so first off, I’d like to commend you for stepping outside of your comfort zone. That’s a huge part of what sobriety is about - putting ourselves out there and trying something new. Coaching is different from sponsorship in that along with my own lived experience, I’ve also been trained specifically in recovery coaching. In coaching, I help you understand and get to the heart of the issue, challenge limiting and false beliefs, encourage new perspectives and hold space during what can be a tender and emotional journey.

My specific style of coaching is based in the principle that deep down, people do truly know what’s best for them - but often they need support in uncovering and being honest about what those things are. I absolutely believe in my clients’ ability to grow and change beyond what they ever thought was possible for them and hold them in the highest and most loving regard as they they walk the beautiful and sacred road of recovery. Doing this work in a safe and contained group setting creates lasting bonds and dissipates the shame that has told you that “no one gets it” or that “I’m the only one.”

When do we meet?

Sobriety for the Sensitive Soul begins on Wednesday November 1st, 2023 and runs until Wednesday, January 31st, 2024. All calls will take place on Zoom Wednesdays at 12pm ET and run for 75 minutes. We will have two weeks off for integration over the holiday period in December. All calls will be recorded and sent out within 24 hours for anyone who can’t attend live. This group is intentionally being held over the holidays so you can receive support during what can be a difficult season for many. The very last day to enroll is Sunday, October 29th, 2023.

What about in between calls?

This group is all about community. There is a private group chat just for members to connect, support and celebrate one another in between calls. This is where so much bonding + discovery takes place.

I’m nervous about the group aspect - I’ve never been part of a group like this before.

I totally get it. I remember the first group program I enrolled in…I was worried - would I like it, would these people get me? How can I talk about things that are so personal with a bunch of strangers? Your fears are okay and make sense.

AND

There’s so much healing that happens when we find out that we aren’t the only ones having these challenging experiences. When we hear our stories and experiences mirrored back to us. When we find out that we aren’t completely alone in our feelings and there are truly people out there who get us. This is the magic of a group coaching experience.

The other thing that we are so often missing while we’re drinking is true, genuine connection…which is very different from alcohol manufactured connection. Group coaching is where you not only realize you aren’t alone, but where you also develop genuine, lasting connection with other people who get it.

All of that said, if you still very much feel like you want to do this work, but a group doesn’t feel like the right environment for you in this season, we can also explore working privately, 1:1.

Why should I do this instead of AA?

While Alcoholics Anonymous is the right choice for some, it doesn’t feel like the right choice for everyone. I have worked with many people who are actively involved in AA to further support and enhance their recovery journey and often work with those who feel opposed to some of the tenants of the 12 step program. I believe all forms of recovery are valid and encourage you to make the decision that feels most aligned for you.

Do you office payment plans or reduced pricing?

Yes, there is a 3 month payment plan option. When signing up for a payment plan, you are committing to paying all 3 payments, in full and on time and keeping your credit card information up to date.

This program runs on tiered pricing. You can review the different criteria for each level and choose the one that is most appropriate for your circumstances. Please remember, that if you are committing to not drinking during the duration of the program, you can use the funds you would have otherwise spent on alcohol to help cover the cost of the program.

Do you offer refunds?

Tuition is non-refundable. If you need to drop the program, for any reason after you’ve enrolled, you can transfer your spot to the next offering of the course (however, subsequent program offerings are not guaranteed to occur) or apply your tuition toward 1:1 coaching. That being said, please only sign up if you are committed to attending and participating. These are small and intimate groups and I have reserved your spot specifically for you!

Do you offer scholarships?

There will be one scholarship spot available. If you are unable to pay for the program because of financial constraints and would like to be considered for a scholarship, please contact Kristy here.

I’ve enrolled - what should I expect next?

I’m so happy to made this decision for your current and future self! After enrolling you will get a welcome email and an opportunity to ask any questions you may have. In October you will receive an onboarding form, directions for accessing our group chat and a call calendar link so all call info will be automatically placed in your calendar. In the meantime, if you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out.
