Amy Guldner, Speaker & Coach

We aren’t meant to do life alone.

We’re hard-wired for connection. I’m incredibly fortunate to help my clients deepen their relationships, reframe their “failures,” find joy in optimizing their well-being, and grow into the versions of themselves they’re most proud of.

my STORY

“The only difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how we use them.”

—American Proverb

My Story

After 25 years practicing law and far too many years of using alcohol to cope with life (believing the lie that alcohol was my friend and the glue holding the shit-show together), I found true freedom from our wine-soaked culture. I’ve been alcohol-free since July 2020.

Like most people, my drinking career started out limited to social occasions. Then my husband was in Iraq on his first combat tour, and my nightly glass of wine became a nightly bottle.

It took a huge toll on my mind, body, and relationships. No matter how hard I tried to moderate I just couldn’t get it to “stick,” despite being quite disciplined in other areas of my life.

Thanks to This Naked Mind, I was finally able to break free from the prison of alcohol, and I knew right away that I wanted to help others experience the same life-changing freedom.

That’s then I founded Reframing Well-Being, became head coach at Euphoric Alcohol-Free, and began speaking about the science of alcohol and wellness at conferences.

I love to coach disciplined high achievers who know that being “functional” isn’t enough and are struggling to drink less or stop drinking.

I have been married to the most fascinating man for over 20 years and am the mom to 2 wonderful but challenging young adults and 3 awesome rescue dogs. I enjoy powerwalking, Pilates, meditation, reading, visiting family in my beloved home state of Iowa, exploring national parks and chasing waterfalls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it confidential?

100%! I help most clients reframe their patterns around alcohol. With grace and compassion, I’ll ask you to challenge your assumptions and conditioning and show you how to find JOY in your new lifestyle. Of course, anything you share is strictly between us. My coaching is 1-on-1 and always confidential.

What are your qualifications?

After working as a lawyer for 25+ years, I got certified as a This Naked Mind coach, and I have alcohol-free coaching, mindset coaching, and success coaching certifications through the Euphoric Coaching Academy.

Do I have to be alcohol-free?

No. You don’t have to have a certain number of days or weeks alcohol-free. All I ask is that you come into it with a genuine desire to unpack your relationship with alcohol and any other unhealthy habits keeping you stuck.

What if I drink again?

Please don’t stress. If you want to get the most out of coaching, message me or bring it to your next session so we can learn from it together. We’ll process your experience with zero judgment and shame.

Are you going to tell me what to do?

I’m not going to tell you want to do. My job as a coach is to guide your toward YOUR most aligned answers. We’ll go deep to explore what you think are your next right steps. You know best, and I’ll empower you to own it!

Ask me anything! I’m an open book.
