About
I went from Sober Curious to Alcohol Free! ​
Cari is a high achieving woman who loves connecting and serving others at the highest level. Throughout her career, she’s built three businesses, all focused on coaching people in the professional settings. Despite her success, she found herself riddled with anxiety turning to her nightly glass of wine to unwind. After a decade of this cycle, she became curious about alcohol’s role in her life. She spent 1.5 years in the sober curious space, drinking mindfully, before choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle! That decision changed everything!

Cari Wolters is a certified life coach and affective liminal psychology (ALP) practitioner who specializes in helping high-achieving women and men break free from habits that are keeping them stuck, most notably alcohol use. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in social work. As the founder of Sober Curious Life Coaching, Cari blends science-backed strategy, emotion-based programming along with compassionate guidance to help clients unlock their potential and build lives that feel aligned, intentional, and free to be themselves!
Cari is proudly alcohol-free for four years and has been coaching women and men through a program called the PATH for three years. Her approach is rooted in science, curiosity, emotional awareness, and personalized support—not willpower or shame. She believes that transformation begins with self-compassion and that breaking the habit loop and living substance-free is not about fixing what's "wrong" but about reconnecting to your values, identity, and inner truth.
Cari spent two decades supporting emotionally impaired children and individuals on the spectrum as a special education teacher and advocate. Her experience in teaching, ABA therapy, and behavior systems gave her a unique lens into how patterns are formed and how they can be reprogrammed!
Before launching her coaching business, Cari was also a successful entrepreneur and business coach, building and leading teams of hundreds of women while teaching brand development and leadership. Her ability to empower others is grounded in both lived experience and professional training, and her mission is to help women and men create lives they don’t need to escape from.
Cari is a proud mom of two teenagers, wife to a supportive husband, and passionate advocate for the alcohol-free movement. Through one-on-one coaching, group programs, interactive corporate workshops, and webinars she offers both the strategy and heart-led support to help others break free from the habitual loops that no longer serve them and step into who they truly are!
Statement of Integrity
​
At Sober Curious Life Coaching, I prioritize a lifestyle centered on wellness and personal growth. I personally have a commitment to maintaining an alcohol-free existence, preferring and embracing the joys of alcohol-free living.
I believe in inclusivity and do not discriminate in my practices based on personal choices regarding alcohol consumption. I do not require abstinence from alcohol from any business partner or business supplier I work with, nor friends or family.
My ethos promotes respect for individual choices and a supportive environment, both within my business and for the people I serve.
