This Isn’t Just My Story…
It Might Be Yours Too

“You’ve kept it all together. Career, family, life—it looks good from the outside.”

But inside? You’ve been quietly wondering if alcohol is still working for you. And you’re not sure where that question leads.

At Ditched the Drink, I offer sober coaching for women who don’t need a dramatic rock bottom to make a powerful change. You just need a quiet space to ask better questions—without judgment, without shame.

I Didn’t Quit Drinking Because I Had To;
I quit because I was ready for something better...

I Didn’t Quit Drinking Because I Had To—I Quit Because I Was Ready for Something Better

I’m Heather Lowe

Certified Professional Coach and founder of Ditched the Drink.

But before I ever coached a client or led a workshop, I was just a high-functioning (over functioning) woman trying to make sense of my relationship with alcohol.

I had the education, the resume, and the family.

But I also had a constant undercurrent of unease, like I was performing my life instead of fully living it.

The turning point wasn’t dramatic.

It was a whisper: What if it could feel better than this?

From Questioning to Coaching

Once I decided to take a break from drinking, I realized how few resources existed for women like me, successful, curious, and not looking for labels.

I didn’t want to start over.

I just wanted to feel more present, more grounded, more me.

So I created what I couldn’t find: A safe space to rethink drinking without pressure, stigma, or all-or-nothing rules.

Through my background in social work and professional coaching… I began helping others navigate this same path, one that honors their autonomy, protects their privacy, and supports their goals.

Since launching Ditched the Drink, I’ve had the honour of sharing this message across wellness, leadership, and workplace spaces—helping professional women rethink their relationship with alcohol in a way that feels empowering, not all-or-nothing.

My work has been featured in Life Coach Magazine, After Magazine, Girl Boss, Wine Enthusiast, Mashable, and Corporate Wellness Magazine.

"The Insider Community has been a huge asset to helping me stay on my alcohol free journey. There are so many great reading tools, and the best part is being able to hop on a call with people who are on the same journey. It's a place to support one another if you are 1 day sober or 3 years sober without having to worry about judgment. 😘 " - Chelsie

I have really improved my relationship with alcohol: ditching the drink now has an ease to it, like taking a well-deserved breath of fresh air.
