Hi, I’m Janey Lee Grace.

My journey began in the music world – I spent the 80’s singing backing vocals for WHAM!, Boy George, Mari Wilson, Kim Wilde and more, and even had a Top 10 hit in the 90s with Cola Boy. Many people also know me from my 24 years co-presenting Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2. Along the way, I’ve written five books on holistic living, including the Amazon #1 bestseller Imperfectly Natural Woman, and more recently my own memoir From Wham to Woo.

For years, though, I struggled quietly. I’d wake at 3 a.m. full of regret about drinking too much… only for the wine witch to start whispering again by early evening. The cycle felt endless. Then, in 2018, I decided to try Dry January – and everything shifted.

I’d attempted to stop before, but this time something clicked. I discovered a completely new sense of clarity and possibility. I realised alcohol had been stealing my confidence and joy, and once I let it go, I began to feel brave again. I learned that true transformation needs emotional support, encouragement, and simple lifestyle tools that help you feel good from the inside out.

That awakening led me to launch the Alcohol Free Life podcast (now with over 2 million downloads!) and deliver my TEDx talk, Sobriety Rocks – Who Knew! I trained in EFT and holistic wellbeing coaching, and I’m passionate about helping grey area drinkers finally break free from what I call the “alcohol obstacle.”

I created The Sober Club as a warm, empowering space filled with resources, expert guidance, and a vibrant community all cheering one another on.

Today, I work as a 1:1 Sober Coach, train new Sober Coaches, and run the 360 Sober Coach Training Programme, supporting others to grow thriving coaching businesses – and even step confidently into the media spotlight to share their message.

Because when you change your relationship with alcohol, everything changes.

And believe me… sobriety truly does rock.
