Have you been questioning your relationship with alcohol?

Meet Amanda Kuda

Amanda Kuda
Amanda Kuda can attest to the fact that you don’t need to have a drinking problem for alcohol to be holding you back. Like a lot of successful young professionals, her life was a carousel of opportunities to drink that ultimately left her feeling unfulfilled in her spirit, relationships, and career. She didn’t hit “rock bottom” or need a recovery program, but she did need a change. It was only when Kuda tried Dry January that she realized sobriety was the linchpin to a better life. In a culture that treats alcohol as a cure all to subdue anxiety, grieve, and celebrate, she found that cutting it out helped her and later, her clients feel truly well and finally reach her full potential.
Today, Amanda is an alcohol-free lifestyle expert and coach helping ambitious, soul-centered women stop drinking and start manifesting the life they desire and deserve. Amanda’s first book, Unbottled Potential: Break Up With Alcohol And Break Through To Your Best Life, will be hitting shelves on October 3, 2023, published by Penguin Random House / Avery. With an approach rooted in psychology and spiritual study, Unbottled Potential will challenge you to open your mind to the extraordinary possibilities of an alcohol-free life. This isn’t just Dry January: this is an opportunity to investigate your relationship with alcohol and understand the true meaning behind “sober-curious.”
