''Love Sober is the go-to for women wanting an alcohol-free Midlife''
Trish Halpin
Postcards from the Midlife, Editor-in-Chief Marie Claire
I’m Kate Baily — coach, author, yoga teacher and menopause doula.
For over a decade I’ve supported women to step away from alcohol and towards lives that feel steadier, truer, and more sustainable.
My work weaves together evidence-based coaching, nervous system awareness, and the wisdom of seasonal rhythm — because midlife isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about listening more closely, meeting ourselves where we're at and honouring our life experience.

Discover the Secret of Your Amazing Midlife
Do you want to know a secret?
Midlife can be an extraordinary time to embrace and love being sober.
By now, we have skills, strengths, and lived experience. We have navigated careers, relationships, motherhood, caring roles, and change. Yet when alcohol starts to take more than it gives, midlife can feel exhausting rather than expansive. Hangovers hit harder. Sleep suffers. Anxiety creeps in. Hormonal shifts amplify stress, and drinking no longer feels like “just a good time.”
The Power of Sobriety in Midlife
It does not have to be this way.
As a coach, a woman, a mother of teenagers, a partner, and a post-menopausal woman, I understand transition. Midlife is a profound one for women. With the right support, tools, and information, it can also be deeply empowering.
Sobriety creates solid ground. From that place, we can begin to ask a simple but life-changing question:
What do I need right now?
This work goes far beyond mindset. It is about supporting the whole system: body, brain, hormones, nervous system, and lived experience.
Is This You?
-
Multiple calendars and competing demands
-
Overflowing to-do lists and very little space
-
Juggling work, home, relationships, and caring for others
-
Navigating perimenopause or menopause
-
Drinking to dial down stress, even though it now feels automatic
-
Feeling tired of setting rules about how much or how often you will drink
-
Wanting peace of mind, better sleep, and freedom from hangovers
Many women do not realise that alcohol, hormonal fluctuations, and chronic stress create a powerful feedback loop that affects every system in the body. When we understand this, everything starts to make sense.
Now Is the Time to Prioritise You
This is not just about stopping drinking.
This is a threshold into self-love, self-care, and self-leadership. It is about reliable information, compassionate support, clear boundaries, and a plan that works in real midlife life.

What People are Saying ...

Incredible - 5 Stars
I arrived at sobriety broken and lost and weary. With the help of Love Sober I have gradually been able to do the work of putting myself back together... forever grateful.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Having tried different ways of getting sober from making deals with myself and AA and online things, the thing that stands out about Life School is all the different angles - it's such a rounded education, the science, research, what's going on with you, relationships, you realise it's not you being a failure. It's practical, planning for a night out, then I feel I'm saying no to alcohol and yes to everything else. And it's that's what has made all the difference. I am seeing things clearly for the first time.
