018: Numb Less, Live More - Values + Boundaries for the Sober Curious

What happens when a high-achieving athlete, corporate pro, and coach decides to get curious about alcohol and everything it was doing for her?

Meet Renée Adams, Certified Sober Curious and Mindset Coach and co-founder of Nosedive Co., a wellness brand helping people “numb less” and live more. Renée grew up in a high-pressure world where worth tracked productivity. Through sober curiosity, she found her voice, rebuilt confidence, and started helping others do the same.

In this conversation, we get practical about numbing less, leading with values, and setting boundaries in drink-forward spaces without losing your edge or your community. We talk about confidence without the cocktail, why “all or nothing” stalls change, and how to build a simple toolbox for social pressure, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. Renée shares practical steps to track habits, name your values, and show up as yourself anywhere—from the boardroom to the tailgate.

Join us, then tell us: What situation would you try alcohol-free for a week? What value are you ready to lead with?

About Renée Adams
Hey there! I’m Renée Adams a habitual and social drinker turned Certified Sober Curious and Mindset Coach. I help grey area drinkers, high achievers, athletes and curious humans rethink their relationship with alcohol so they can reconnect with purpose, clarity, and confidence.
After leaving my corporate job to chase a career in fitness coaching, and failing, I found myself lost and searching for purpose. That’s when I had to face a hard truth: I couldn’t create the life I wanted until I understood why alcohol played such a big role in it. My turning point came in 2023 when I embraced a sober(ish) lifestyle and finally uncovered the habits, beliefs, and blocks holding me back. That journey was the catalyst I needed to make lasting change and now I help others navigate their own transformations using firsthand experience, solution-focused mindset techniques, and the power of neuroplasticity.
