Reclaim Your Identity By Shifting Your Relationship With Alcohol

A fresh start.
A clean month.
A new relationship with alcohol. One that feels intentional, grounded, and aligned with the life you want to build.

Welcome to California Sober January, a 4-week immersive experience for sober-curious humans ready to take a full break from alcohol in January and explore a healthier, more conscious relationship with themselves.

This isn’t a shame-based program.
This isn’t about labels.
This is a month to get real, reconnect with yourself, and remember who you are when alcohol isn’t calling the shots.

We’ll weave microdosing education as a supportive tool for emotional clarity and nervous system balance. It is optional. You do not need to microdose to benefit from this experience. Everyone is welcome.

What Is California Sober January?

California Sober January is a 30-day guided reset designed to help you step away from alcohol for the month of January, not through willpower or restriction, but through clarity, curiosity, and genuine support.

This is a space to explore your relationship with alcohol in a grounded and compassionate way. You will learn practical tools that help you regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your emotions, and rebuild trust in yourself.

You will be supported through a structured blend of:

  • (4) Weekly group coaching sessions

  • (2) private 1:1 sessions

  • Reflection prompts

  • Optional microdosing education and guidance

  • A supportive, like-minded community

  • Bonus: Intention Setting Circle on New Years Eve

This month is not about saying you will never drink again.
It is about giving yourself enough space and support to understand why you drink and what becomes possible when alcohol is not the default.

Most people do not realize how much better they can feel until they give themselves a chance to pause.

California Sober January is your invitation to pause and come home to yourself.

A Letter From Amy

Hi friend,

If you’re here, thank you. Whether you’re considering making a change, one of my friends cheering me on, or my mom (hi Mom!), I’m glad you made it this far.

If you’re just getting to know me, it feels important to share a little bit about myself and why I do this work.

One of the biggest turning points in my life was shifting my own relationship with alcohol. At the start of 2023, I ended my marriage and, subsequently, spent a lot of time alone at my house in Joshua Tree. Sitting there with shame, guilt, confusion, and fear. You know, all our old trusty friends who have been there for a while, and all the emotions I used to drink over.

When I finally stopped numbing, all these emotions rose to the surface. And in all that quiet, I was forced to look at each part of myself and ask “Is this True?” As I shed all the parts of my that did not align, my real voice came back.

It was deep work. Like… deep deep work.

On December 28, 2024, I made myself a promise:
I’m shifting my relationship with alcohol gently, compassionately, and on my terms.
Not “never again.” Not perfection. Just… choosing something different.

Then on New Year’s Day at Breakfast of Champions in San Francisco, something in me clicked. I danced out decades of shame and stepped back into my Power.

From that moment, 2025 became my Year of Experiment, offering me permission to try things without any expectations on the outcome.

One of those experiments was building a new relationship with alcohol. Microdosing was part of that process. Not to escape, but to bring a deeper awareness so I could feel more. To understand the roots of my patterns. To create new pathways. To clear the fog. To learn to listen to my body underneath all that numbing.

And slowly, everything started aligning.
I moved back to the Bay. I reconnected with my community again. And I started feeling like myself again. Not because I (mostly) quit drinking, but because I stopped abandoning who I truly was.

California Sober January is the exact container I wish I had during that transition, and a transition I continue to walk and be tested on. This container is a place to pause, reset, listen to yourself, and reconnect with the you underneath the noise without shame, pressure, or labels.

If something in you is whispering that it’s time for a shift…
If you’re tired of waking up foggy or disconnected…
If you’re curious who you are without alcohol calling the shots…
I would be honored to walk this month with you.

We can create the lives we want, and healing is so much easier in community.

With Love,
Karen’s Daughter Amy
