Relationship AF
An Alcohol-Free Relational Sovereignty Space for Women & Those Who Identify As Women
You stopped drinking. But
you didn’t stop
needing connection.
And now you’re navigating all of it.
The relationships, the family, the friendships, the love… without alcohol as the buffer. Without the social lubricant. Without the blurred edges. Without the easy escape from the raw, electric, terrifying vulnerability of being truly seen by another person.
It’s just you. Clear. Open. And sometimes… completely lost in someone else.
If you've ever disappeared into a relationship and not recognized yourself on the way out ~ you're in the right place.
If you've ever kept the peace at the cost of your own truth, shrunk yourself to fit someone else's comfort, or chosen connection over self-respect and told yourself it was love ~ you're in the right place.
You’re not broken. You’re not “too much.”
You're just navigating relationships without the buffer. And relationships without a buffer will bring up everything.
This is the work of Relational Sovereignty.
And this is the space to do that work, together.
Maybe you're newly sober and realizing every social interaction feels like learning to walk again.
Maybe you've been alcohol-free for years but your relationships ~ romantic, family, friendships ~ still feel like the last frontier.
Maybe you're doing the inner work, but you're doing it alone, and the loneliness of this specific experience is its own kind of ache.
You're in the right place.
What is Relationship AF?
Relationship AF is a living, breathing community for women and all who identify as women, navigating all of their relationships ~ romantic, family, friendship, and most importantly, the relationship with themselves ~ while alcohol free. Whether you are in recovery or have chosen to remove alcohol from your life for any of the myriad of reasons that are entirely your own ~ this space is for you.
It's a place to land when you feel like you're too much. A place to get honest when you're tired of performing. A place to remember that you are not alone in this. And a place to come back to yourself ~ your power, your self love, your sovereignty ~ in every relationship in your life.
This is a space for women and those who identify as women of all sexual orientations. We celebrate and welcome the diverse experiences of queer, bisexual, lesbian, pansexual, and straight women and all folks who identify as women.
This is not therapy. This is not a rigid, step by step course. And this is definitely not a program with a guaranteed outcome or a tidy roadmap for how your relationships should look.
This is a facilitated space to practice loving without leaving yourself. In every relationship. With every person. Starting with you.
It's where we learn that we are allowed to be discerning. Allowed to ask for what we want. Allowed to stop shrinking to appease someone else. It's where we practice owning our power ~ not from a place of having it all figured out, but from a place of returning to ourselves, one small choice at a time.
And where we remember ~ again and again ~ that self love is not a destination we arrive at before we begin. It is something we practice in the doing. Together.
And this is not a one and done.
Relationship AF grows with every cohort ~ bringing new curriculum, new content, new conversations, and new women into the container. As one cohort closes and the next one opens, you are invited to continue right alongside it ~ building on everything that came before, deepening the practice with every season. Join once. Keep going. Keep growing. 🐍
Relational Sovereignty is the ability to stay self-led, self-connected, and self-trusting while in relationship with another.
It is desire without desperation.
Openness without self-abandonment.
Intimacy without numbing. It is the practice of loving another without leaving yourself.
the framework at the heart of everything
Meet Your Guide, Natalie
I've been alcohol free since 2015. For over a decade, I've walked my own recovery journey through every kind of relationship ~ romantic love, complicated family, friendship that healed me, and friendship that broke my heart. Through all of it, I've been learning the same thing, over and over: how to stay in myself while being fully in connection with another person.
I’m a certified recovery coach, trauma-informed yoga teacher, mindfulness meditation teacher, integrative nutrition coach, and certified psychedelic integration practitioner. My work is rooted in mind-body-spirit alignment and nervous system literacy.
But more than my credentials, I bring my lived experience. I know what it feels like to lose yourself in a relationship and call it love. To keep the peace at the cost of your own truth. To perform okayness in every relationship in your life while quietly falling apart inside.
Relational sovereignty isn’t theory for me. It’s my life’s practice. And Relationship AF is an extension of that practice ~ built because I needed it and couldn't find it.
I show up here as both your guide and your fellow traveler. Everything I offer comes from my actual life ~ the mess of it, the beauty of it, and everything in between.
How It Works
-
We gather inside Relationship AF on Mighty Networks ~ a private, intimate community space completely separate from the noise of social media. No algorithms. No ads. No performing for an audience. Just us.
The rhythm of our time together is simple, consistent, and designed to meet you exactly where you are.
We begin together with an Opening Call ~ a chance to land in the container, meet each other, and set the tone for everything ahead. We close together with a Closing Circle ~ a chance to come full circle, honor how far we have come, and carry forward what matters most.
In between ~ we gather six more times. Every 2 weeks we go deep into the work and bring our real lives into the room.
Eight calls in total. All of them live. All of them yours.
Each call is described below.
-
Each month we explore a specific theme that's alive in the world of alcohol free relationships. We go deep into honest, real conversation ~ and then I guide you through a somatic practice to help you integrate the learning into your body, not just your head.
Each monthly theme stands alone, so you can drop in anytime without feeling behind or like you've missed something.
This call is recorded and lives inside our Relationship AF community on Mighty Networks so you can return to it whenever you need it.
-
This one belongs to you.
Bring what is actually happening in your relationships right now. A situation you are navigating. A pattern you keep bumping into. A conversation you are not sure how to have. A win you want to celebrate out loud in a room full of women who understand exactly what it cost you.
This is where the Relational Sovereignty framework meets real life ~ where the curriculum stops being theoretical and becomes something we actually work with together in the specific, particular, beautifully complicated circumstances of your actual relationships.
No agenda. No lecture. Just honest, real time coaching on the things that are alive for you right now.
This call is not recorded ~ to protect the privacy, safety and confidentiality of everyone in the room. The intimate and personal nature of what gets shared here deserves that protection and we take that seriously.
-
This is where the real magic happens.
Beyond the structured curriculum and the live calls, the community spaces are your living room ~ unscripted, responsive, and alive. This is where we show up for each other in real time, between the calls and the lessons, in the messy middle of actually living this.
This is YOUR space. To talk about all the things. To show up fully, messily, honestly ~ without performing, without polishing, without waiting until you have it figured out. This is an organic, living, breathing space that grows and evolves with the women inside it.
Here's what you'll find here:
~ Timely topics and prompts ~ Natalie drops a juicy question or a hot topic and the conversation unfolds organically from there
~ Member led conversation ~ your experiences, your questions, your half formed thoughts ~ all of it belongs here
~ Real Talk ~ a dedicated space for what's actually happening in your relationships right now. Real. Raw. No performing. Bring the conversation that confused you, the family dinner that activated everything, the moment of genuine sovereignty that deserves to be named out loud. All of it belongs here.
~ Wins and celebrations ~ someone held a boundary they would have previously talked themselves out of, someone stayed in themselves through a hard family conversation, someone chose themselves for the first time in a long time. We celebrate all of it, loudly and with love.
~ Real time support ~ when something hard happens and you need the container to hold you right now, not at the next scheduled call, this is where you come.
~ Hot seat moments ~ the spontaneous "can I get some eyes on this situation" energy that makes a community feel like a community.
This is not a curated highlight reel. This is the ongoing, unfiltered, real time conversation that alcohol free relationships actually deserve ~ and that didn't exist anywhere before Relationship AF.
-
Because this work doesn't just happen on calls.
Between sessions, in the quiet moments, before the difficult conversation, after the family dinner, when you need to come back to yourself at 11pm on a Tuesday ~ that's where Resources & Rituals lives.
Inside you'll find a curated library of tools and practices designed specifically for the alcohol free experience of being in relationship:
~ Meditations ~ recorded practices in Natalie's voice to ground you, settle your nervous system and bring you home to yourself
~ Mantras ~ including digital mantra cards formatted for your phone, laptop and printer so your reminders to come back to yourself are always within reach
~ Nervous System Tools ~ practical, embodied tools you can reach for anytime you need to regulate, reset or reconnect
~ Rituals ~ intentional practices for before and after the relational moments that ask the most of you
~ Playlists ~ curated music for every moment of the relational journey
Your between-the-calls companion. Always there. Always ready.
-
Each month we go deeper. Moving through three territories designed to bring you back to yourself ~ in every relationship in your life.
Month 1 ~ The Primary Relationship & Coming Home To Your Body
The foundation. We start here because you cannot show up sovereignly in any relationship if you are not home in yourself first. We explore what it actually feels like to be fully present in your relationships ~ alcohol free, fully you, with nothing blurring the edges.
~ The Primary Relationship: An Introduction ~ Self AF: What It Means To Be In Relationship With Yourself ~ Owning Your Power Before You Begin ~ Why Alcohol Free Relationships Feel Louder ~ Your Nervous System In Relationship
Month 2 ~ Reading The Room Within
The discernment work. Learning to tell the difference between your intuition and your fear, your gut and your conditioning. How your attachment patterns show up across all of your relationships ~ not just the romantic ones. This is where self trust gets built.
~ Intuition vs Activation: The Most Important Distinction ~ How Relationships Trigger Attachment Patterns ~ Red Flags vs Trauma Triggers ~ The Stories We Tell In The Silence ~ Discernment: The Practice Of Knowing What Is Right For You
Month 3 ~ In Relationship & The Ongoing Practice
The landing. Relational sovereignty in real time ~ how to stay rooted in yourself while being fully in connection with another person. Across every relationship in your life. How to choose alignment over intensity. How to let go when you need to, and stay fully when it's right.
~ Staying Without Shrinking ~ The Relationships That Shaped You: Family ~ The Chosen Family: Friendships ~ Romantic Love & Relational Sovereignty ~ When Someone You Love Drinks ~ Letting Go With Integrity ~ Relational Sovereignty As A Daily Practice

Is Relationship AF
for you?
This community was built for women and all who identify as women who are ready to do the deep, rewarding work of relational sovereignty and heart. This community does not employ fear-based tactics or quick-fix strategies. We do the deep, rewarding, real work of Relational Sovereignty. Together.
It's for you if:
You are alcohol free ~ in recovery, or have chosen to remove alcohol from your life for any reason that is entirely your own.
You are navigating any relationship in your life ~ romantic, family, friendship ~ and finding that being alcohol free has changed everything about how you show up in them.
You are tired of repeating the same relational patterns and ready to understand why they keep showing up.
You crave deep, meaningful connection, but not the chaos.
You are ready to learn how to stay in yourself, with any of the relationships you are navigating.
You are ready to make yourself the primary relationship in your life ~ and let everything else grow from there.
Please note that this space is designed to support healing and personal growth. While Natalie brings a trauma-informed perspective to this work, it is not psychotherapy. She is not operating in the role of a licensed therapist. If you feel you would benefit from mental health support, please seek care from a qualified professional.
Outside of the “hot seat” coaching, there is not a 1:1 coaching component. If you are desiring 1:1 coaching please reach out here.
Your Questions, Answered
-
This space is specifically designed for those who are currently alcohol free. Whether you are in long-term recovery or have simply chosen to remove alcohol from your life for any of the myriad of reasons that are entirely your own. You are welcome here.
To protect the safety, trust, and integrity of the container, we ask that all members be actively committed to an alcohol free life during this time. This ensures that everyone can fully show up in a shared space rooted in clarity, presence, and mutual respect.
If you are sober curious and still exploring your relationship with alcohol, we honor that journey wholeheartedly and we encourage you to come back when you feel ready to step into an alcohol free container. We'll be here.
-
Life happens. We get it.
The Opening Call, Deep Dive Calls, and Closing Circle are all recorded and available to all members for the duration of your membership. Watch in your own time, at your own pace, as many times as you need.
Open Coaching & Real Time Situations Calls will not be recorded. These calls are intentionally unrecorded to protect the privacy, safety, and confidentiality of everyone in the room. The intimate and personal nature of what gets shared here deserves that protection and we take that seriously.
We encourage you to show up live whenever you can. There is something irreplaceable about being in the room in real time. But we also know that life is full and schedules are complicated ~ and we have designed the container with that in mind.
-
For as long as you are a member of Relationship AF, everything is yours. All recorded calls, all curriculum content, all resources and rituals are available to you anytime, day or night, for the full duration of your membership.
-
Relationship AF is a 3 month container and enrollment is a commitment to the full experience. We designed it this way intentionally because real transformation happens in the staying, not just the starting.
Monthly members are committed to the full 3 month container. Because of the cohort model and the integrity of the group, we are unable to process cancellations mid-container.
Paid in full members: Your investment is non-refundable, but it is transferable. If something comes up and you are unable to complete the current cohort, your spot can be transferred to the next available cohort.
Extenuating circumstances: We are humans first. If something significant arises during your time in the container, please reach out to us directly and we will handle it with care, privately and with grace.
We never want you to stay somewhere that no longer serves you. That's literally what we're here to practice. And we also believe deeply in honoring the commitment you made to yourself when you said yes to this work.
If the time is ever right to return in a future cohort, the door is always open.
-
Relationship AF is a living, breathing community that grows with every cohort ~ and so do you.
When you join, you are not just signing up for three months. You are stepping into something that evolves. Each new cohort brings fresh curriculum, new content, deeper conversations, and new women into the container. As one cohort closes and the next one opens ~ you are invited to continue right alongside it, building on everything that came before.
This is not a one and done.
The women who joined Cohort 1 can move into Cohort 2. The women who join Cohort 2 can move into Cohort 3. Each season deepening the practice, each cohort adding a new layer to the work.
This is an ongoing practice ~ growing with every season, every cohort, every woman who walks through the door.
Join once. Keep going. Keep growing. 🐍

First we see you, and we're not here to shame you. Whether you are in recovery and experiencing a slip, or you have simply made the personal decision to bring alcohol back into your life, we approach this conversation with compassion, not judgment.
That said, the integrity and safety of this container depends on all members being actively committed to an alcohol free life for the duration of the cohort. This is not a rule for the sake of rules. It is the foundation that allows everyone inside to fully trust the space and each other. Regardless of the reason, if alcohol becomes part of your life again during this time, this may no longer be the right container for you.
If this happens, we ask that you reach out to Natalie directly and privately. We will handle the conversation with care, discretion, and without judgment.
Depending on the circumstances, we may mutually agree that stepping out of the current cohort is the most loving choice, for you and for the group. If that happens, we will work with you to find the right path forward, whether that means rejoining a future cohort when the time feels right or exploring 1:1 support in the meantime.
You are not broken. You are human. And there is always a way home.
