Hi, I’m Rachel Hart

For years, I searched for a logical approach to explain my drinking that didn’t insist on lifelong abstinence or rely on scare tactics, shame, or the need for a higher power.

Less than a decade after becoming a coach, I’ve helped thousands of people achieve their goals of drinking less, experimenting with alcohol-free periods, or releasing alcohol from their life.

I’m on a mission to help people become more curious, open, and aware of their drinking habits so they can examine their relationship with alcohol without shame or judgment. I believe this is the foundation for lasting change. 

My approach is radically different from the typical 12-step or disease-model framework developed almost a century ago.

I’m a master certified life coach, creator of  The Drink Archetypes,™ author of The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less (2024) and Why Can’t I Drink Like Everyone Else? (2016), and host of the top-rated podcast, Take a Break from Drinking.

My ideas have been featured in The New York Times, The Mel Robbins Podcast, Women’s Health, and Psychology Today.
