Hello, I’m HAYLEY!

I'm a Certified Professional Coach based in Vancouver, BC, with my partner, Jonas, and our dog, Lou.

Since January 2019, I've embraced an alcohol-free lifestyle, a world that has exceeded my wildest imaginations, and I'm excited to share this revelation with others. Why? Because societal pressures can be all-consuming, and sometimes individuals may not even realize the extent to which alcohol negatively impacts their lives.

Quitting alcohol led to major realizations about my values, goals, and desires. I’ve since made significant changes, transitioning out of the busy world of film & TV production to embrace my entrepreneurial spirit and desire to help others live unwasted lives they truly love.

Throughout my experiences, I’ve experienced profound moments of loss, grief, mental health challenges, and a life-altering health diagnosis, among others. Looking back, I realize that I frequently used alcohol as a way to escape these difficulties, a habit that I initially considered a normal part of navigating my twenties. Today, I see these experiences as valuable gifts and lessons. Embracing authenticity without relying on alcohol has become a source of growth and empowerment in my life.

My commitment to helping others extends beyond one-on-one coaching to providing a supportive community and resources that inspire individuals to break free from the toxic cycle of booze. I find joy in empowering others to live lives filled with raw joy, gratitude, and authenticity.

Welcome to This Unwasted Life, where every sip is a celebration of mindful choices and a journey into a world where embracing life and well-being coexist. Whether you're exploring sober curiosity, alcohol-freedom, or seeking wellness, this hub offers resources to help guide you.

May you find inspiration and encouragement here to live your best, most unwasted life.

Cheers from my alc-free bev to yours! Say hi anytime!
