About Janey

Hi, I’m Janey Lee Grace. For years I’d wake up at 3 a.m. hating myself for drinking too much… only for the wine witch to start whispering again by 6 p.m. The cycle just kept going.
Then, in 2018, I decided to do Dry January – and I never looked back.
I’d tried stopping before, but this time everything changed, and I discovered a whole new world of possibility. I realised alcohol had been quietly stealing my joy, and once I ditched it, I started to feel brave. What I learned was that real transformation takes emotional support, encouragement, and simple, practical lifestyle tools that make you feel good inside and out.
That journey led me to start the Alcohol Free Life podcast (now with over 2 million downloads!) and give my TEDx talk, Sobriety Rocks – Who Knew! I’m trained in EFT and holistic wellbeing coaching, and I love helping grey area drinkers finally overcome what I call the alcohol obstacle.
I created The Sober Club as a welcoming, inspiring space packed with resources, expert advice, and a supportive community of people all cheering each other on.
Alongside this, I’m an author, coach, and broadcaster – you might know me from my 23 years co-presenting BBC Radio 2’s Steve Wright in the Afternoon. I’ve written five books on holistic living, including the #1 Amazon bestseller Imperfectly Natural Woman.
These days, I work as a 1:1 Sober Coach, train new Sober Coaches, and run the 360 Sober Coach Training Programme, helping others build their own thriving coaching businesses, and even feel confident stepping into the media spotlight to share their message.
Because when you change your relationship with alcohol, everything changes. And trust me… sobriety truly rocks!
