Gen Stoney isn’t here to help you just stay sober—she’s here to help you rise.
A mentor for sovereign women who refuse to be defined by their past, Gen is rewriting the rules of sobriety altogether. In a world that paints sobriety as sacrifice, scarcity, and smallness, Gen stands for a new paradigm: one where sobriety becomes your liberation—your portal to deeper pleasure, unapologetic self-expression, and wild, limitless expansion. With over 17 years of embodied sobriety, Gen fuses lived wisdom with powerful mentorship to guide self-led, heart-centered women into lives that are not only sober, but sensual, sacred, and soul-on-fire fulfilled. She doesn’t just help you stay sober—she helps you come home to the woman you were always meant to be.
Gen has been recognized in The NYC Journal as one of the Top 20 Most Inspiring Women to Look Out for in 2025. She is a two-time best-selling author, the host of The Unapologetic Woman Podcast, and a speaker who has collaborated with figures like Elizabeth Gilbert and Valarie Kaur. However, it’s her programs and mentorship work that truly distinguishes her in the realm of sobriety, and personal development.
Her approach integrates evidence-based psychology, recovery coaching, and trauma-informed practices, with a coaching style that is both practical and soul-centered. This combination offers a transformative experience, focusing on creating lives that are rich with meaning and satisfaction, beyond simply abstaining from alcohol.
In addition to her mentorship and programs, Gen recently co-launched The Sober Spark Society—an in-person event designed to spark connection, celebration, and deep conversation among women in sobriety. The upcoming Sober Spark Society dinner will be held on May 30th in Farmington Hills, Michigan, offering a luxurious, soul-nourishing evening for women who are sober and ready to rise.

“I’m not here to help women just quit drinking,” Gen Stoney explains. “I’m here to help them step into their fullest selves—embracing pleasure, personal growth, and self-expression across all aspects of life. Sobriety is a stepping stone toward something much greater.”
For Gen, sobriety is not about denying or avoiding pleasure; it’s about rediscovering and embracing the fullness of life. She focuses on helping women reconnect with their bodies and desires in a deep, integrated way. “Healing your relationship with pleasure, intimacy, and self-worth is a profound act of personal sovereignty,” she says. Her mentorship helps women to reclaim their sexuality, confidence, and live authentically—both personally and professionally.
While many sobriety coaches focus on alcohol or addiction recovery alone, Gen Stoney’s work expands beyond these limits. She empowers women to craft lives that feel magnetic and aligned with their values, making it unnecessary to revert to old habits. Through her signature programs and personalized mentorship, Stoney encourages women to harness pleasure as a powerful tool for growth. “Sobriety is not just about survival—it’s about thriving. It’s about tapping into the fullness of your life,” she says.
Central to Gen’s philosophy is the concept of “liberated sobriety,” which she describes as a life experience that goes beyond removing alcohol. “Liberated sobriety means creating a life so fulfilling and expansive that escaping it becomes unthinkable. It’s about growth, not limitation,” she explains. This shift in mindset has helped many of her clients achieve profound personal transformation.
A significant part of Stoney’s work is helping women heal from past trauma, particularly regarding intimacy and self-worth. Many of her clients have experienced challenges in relationships and struggle with societal shame surrounding sobriety and recovery. Through a combination of mind-body practices, spiritual principles, and psychological strategies, Gen provides a space for radical healing, helping women embrace their authentic selves.
Gen’s favorite recovery nonprofit is the She Recovers Foundation—a movement rooted in the truth that we are all recovering from something. Whether it’s trauma, addiction, codependency, grief, burnout, or the pressure to be perfect, She Recovers creates spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to rise. “This work is personal,” Gen shares. “Because I know what it’s like to rise through recovery—and no woman should have to do it alone.” If this mission moves you the way it moves Gen, she invites you to join her in supporting this powerful work. Your donation can help transform a woman’s recovery journey—and remind her that she doesn’t have to walk it alone. Donate or learn more here.
Gen Stoney’s approach is a key contribution to the growing movement of empowered sobriety, one that celebrates self-expression (in and out of the bedroom) and personal development rather than focusing on restriction. “My work is not about avoiding alcohol,” she says. “It’s about helping women transform their lives so profoundly that sobriety becomes a small part of something much greater.”
As a coach, Gen offers her clients a supportive space where they can unlock their full potential. The results are clear: most of her clients not only stay sober but also develop a deep sense of personal power, self-assurance, and an ability to experience pleasure in ways they hadn’t before.
Having maintained over 17 years of continuous sobriety herself, Gen is deeply familiar with the process, and she encourages women to approach it as an opportunity for profound transformation. “Sobriety is not a destination—it’s the beginning of the most extraordinary, soul-aligned life possible,” she says.
For Gen, helping women fully embody their truest, most empowered selves is not just a job—it’s a calling. Her work is driven by a deep passion for guiding women toward unapologetic living, whether through her coaching, speaking engagements, or writing. She is committed to helping women create lives that are not only sober but incredibly alive and aligned with their deepest desires.
