February -Your Guide to Sober Self-Love

✨ February: The Month of Self-Love✨

Hello my beautiful Glow Getters!

February is known as the month of love. But instead of focusing outward, I want us to turn inward.

Because the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself. And I think this becomes even more important when you are sober.

Self-love isn’t loud.
It isn’t bubble baths
It isn’t perfection.

It’s daily choices.
It’s boundaries.
It’s nourishing your body.
It’s staying sober when it would be easier not to.
It’s choosing growth over comfort.

This month’s Sober Glow Newsletter is all about loving yourself deeply, gently and powerfully.

Let’s start ✨

Top 5 Sober Self-Love Tips

I wanted to share my TOP 5 SOBER SELF LOVE TIPS with you. At 9 years sober I have definitely learnt that selflove and selfcare doesn’t come in a wine glass.

  1. Protect Your Peace
    Not every invitation deserves a yes. Not every conversation deserves your energy. Boundaries are self-respect, learn to say yes to what really lights you up and NO to anything you don’t want to do and remember NO is a complete sentence, no explanation needed. I now know myself so well that I will know instantly if I want to do something or not, and for me its a hell yes or a hell no!
  2. Create a Morning Ritual
    Before the world gets loud, choose calm. Stretching, manifesting, journaling, skincare, quiet reflection – start your day intentionally. This can even just be a quiet coffee or tea in peace before you put your phone on.
  3. Move Your Body From Gratitude
    Exercise isn’t about shrinking yourself. It’s about celebrating a body that is getting stronger and healthier. If you know me you will know that exercise has been a huge part of my sober journey, new addiction – possibly! But it helps me feel stronger, happier, less anxious and just healthier both mentally and physically.
  4. Feed Your Mind Wisely
    The books, podcasts and people you surround yourself with shape your self-belief. This is also linked to boundaries, remove all negativity from your life and your life will change!
  5. Celebrate Your Growth
    Sobriety isn’t just about removing alcohol -it’s about rebuilding confidence, clarity and self-trust. Celebrate the woman you are becoming – it took you a lot to get where you are, celebrate it!

📚 February Read of the Month

One of the very first sober books that truly changed my perspective and that I fell in love with was:

The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober by Catherine Gray.

This book made me feel seen. I was very new on my sober journey and hadn’t really found any sober online community at that stage. It reframed sobriety from something restrictive into something expansive. We aren’t losing anything at all, we are gaining so much!

Honest, witty and deeply reassuring, it helped me realise that giving up alcohol wasn’t losing something…It was gaining myself back.

If you’re sober-curious or simply wanting to strengthen your mindset, I can’t recommend it enough.

💌 I hope this February you………

Love yourself enough to:

✨ Choose clarity
✨ Choose nourishment
✨ Choose rest
✨ Choose growth
✨ Choose you

“Top 5 Tips for a Sober Holiday!”

Welcome back!

Last month I celebrated 8 and a half years of sobriety, and marked the occasion by starting up my own YouTube channel! Its the perfect place for me to chat all things Sobriety, Selfcare, Skincare, Health and wellness – how to THRIVE in sobriety and not just survive.

Something I get asked a LOT, is how do I holiday sober? One of my latest posts is all about this and you can listen to it here Subscribe here

With over 8 years of sobriety under my belt, I know first hand that holidays can bring unique challenges when you’re alcohol-free. BUT they can also be the most beautiful, clear, recharging and refreshing times when you’re present and prepared.

Here are my Top 5 Sober Holiday Tips to help you build your sober toolbox and enjoy a holiday you’ll actually remember — hangover free!

1. Remember Your Why

  • Reconnect with the reason you chose a sober life — your health, your peace, your relationships, your freedom.
  • Write it down, keep a reminder on your phone, or say it out loud before big events.
  • When temptation arises, your “why” becomes your anchor.

2. Do Things Differently

  • Break old patterns. If holidays used to revolve around alcohol, try a fresh approach.
  • Choose new destinations, activities, or people that align with your sober lifestyle.
  • Shift the focus from drinking to experience, connection, and self-care.

3. Stay Connected to the New You

  • Keep routines that support your sobriety: journaling, walks, skincare, meditation — whatever keeps you grounded.
  • Don’t leave your sober self at home when you pack your suitcase!
  • Be proud of the version of you that’s showing up fully present.

4. Enjoy It ALL!

  • You’re not missing out. You’re gaining so much more: energy, memory, real joy.
  • Savour the mornings, the conversations, the food, the laughter — all without the fog.
  • Celebrate the freedom of living authentically and Feeling amazing and hangover free.

5. Play It Forward

  • If you feel tempted, fast-forward in your mind to how you’ll feel after a drink; the regret, the hangover, the lost progress.
  • Then play forward your sober choice; the pride, the clarity, the peace.
  • Use visualization as a powerful mindset tool to stay on track.

Holidays are for making memories, not losing them. They are all about coming home feeling refreshed, recharged and relaxed – not coming home needing another holiday!

With these tips in your sober toolkit, you can travel, celebrate, and live your best life with clarity and confidence.
