Episode 292: From Professional Sommelier to AF Revolutionary with Natalie Halt

Sep 3

Let’s bust the myth that sophistication and wine are synonymous.

For years, Natalie Halt was a sommelier with a deep passion and professional stake in wine. But behind the polished image came blackouts, burnout, and a deep longing for something more. Her shift to spiritual alcohol-free leader and 5X Certified Coach is proof that the answer to fulfillment isn’t moderation: it’s unlocking a deeper purpose, celebrating small rituals, and finding meaning beyond the glass.

Natalie is a renaissance woman who has done so much in her life, and in this episode, she shares her extraordinary story as well as her enormous identity shift which inspired the launch of her program Sacred Rebellion, for women who want more than alcohol can offer. She’ll also reveal how she navigates ADHD and motherhood, and why she decided to become a leader in this space.

This is something I preach often: by the time you’re 8 weeks alcohol-free, why not turn into the teacher and become the leader you were always meant to be?

REFLECTION QUESTION

What area of your life could benefit from you turning your learning into leadership?

“When we have ADHD, the dopamine levels are lower in our brains and so alcohol feels like the immediate release. On top of that, many of us also have trauma over the years. We're human. So when you have ADHD coupled with this trauma, you are just looking for the easiest way to numb yourself.” - Natalie Halt

“My sobriety lasts when I am connected to something higher than me. And I actually got that from AA. But you also very firmly reinforced that within us. And you know, it's been this revelation that I wanted to create a roadmap back to divine being, back to source. Because every single one of us is an intuitive being. It's just, we forget. And so that's what this program is: helping people to remember.” - Natalie Halt
