Have you ever wondered how to host a truly unforgettable party—without a drop of alcohol? You’re not alone. As the founder of To Be Honest Beverage Co., I’ve seen firsthand how modern gatherings are evolving, and I’m thrilled to invite you to explore this new era with me at the Sober Summit. If you’re ready to elevate your hosting game and create connection-driven, alcohol-optional experiences, this is your moment.

Why Sober Hosting Matters
Let’s be honest: the best parties are about connection, not cocktails. But for so many, the idea of hosting without alcohol feels intimidating or even isolating. That’s where the Sober Summit comes in—a free, online event designed for anyone curious about mindful celebration, whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or simply want to create more inclusive gatherings.
At this year’s Sober Summit, I’m sharing my journey and actionable tips in my signature session, The Art of Sober Hosting. If you want to learn how to make every guest feel special—while keeping things vibrant, stylish, and fun—be sure to reserve your spot.

Mindful hosting tips for ambiance and connection
From curating playlists that spark joy to designing conversation starters that invite authenticity, I’ll help you create a sensory experience that guests remember.

Get scripts and strategies for honoring your boundaries while making everyone feel at home—no awkwardness, just genuine connection.

My Story: From Wellness to Sober Celebration
I stepped away from alcohol in 2022, not because I had to—but because I wanted more clarity, energy, and joy in my life.
What surprised me most?
How much richer and more connected my celebrations became. That journey inspired me to create To Be Honest Beverage Co., a brand dedicated to luxury, functional spirit alternatives for modern rituals.
At the Sober Summit, I’ll share my story—no judgment, no pressure, just real talk about empowered, intentional living. If you’ve ever felt like the “odd one out” at a party, or wondered how to make alcohol-free gatherings feel just as special, this session is for you.

Let’s Redefine Celebration, Together
Stepping away from alcohol doesn’t mean stepping back from life’s big moments. In fact, I believe we can enjoy them more fully when we’re present, clear, and intentional. Sober hosting isn’t about restriction—it’s about possibility, creativity, and honoring your values.
“You are the main character of your drinking experience,” I always say. “We’re not here to be an afterthought at the party. We’re here to change the culture—beautifully, boldly, and without shame.”
Ready to create gatherings that feel as good as they look?
