Learn More About Mary:

Mary Wagstaff is a holistic alcohol coach for women. She is radicalizing what it means to live alcohol-free through the lens of Women's empowerment for the aquarian age. Where not drinking becomes the obvious choice to seek long-lasting joy and gain more access to innate super powers of emotion, humanity, and divinity. She has been a student and teacher of the magical holistic and contemplative arts, resilience, and mindfulness for 22 years.

It is her mission to change the stigma and narrative around addiction and mental health as something that happens to the "other". Rather, it is a human condition that will begin to change as the collective continues to evolve. Claiming our powers as magnetic creators and the human liberation model of embracing the depth of the emotional self, rather than shaming it. She is the host of the popular self-help podcast Stop Drinking & Start Living.
