About this episode

Caoimhe de Fréin discusses her journey to an alcohol-free life and how it has transformed her approach to personal and professional development.

This week on No More Booze, I’m joined by my gorgeous friend Caoimhe de Fréin @de_frein, a mum of three and a life design coach who’s been alcohol-free for two and a half years. Caoimhe shares how she went from engineering and data in the tech world to building her own business DEFRÉIN, after being made redundant and how giving up alcohol gave her the clarity, energy and grit to back herself. We chat about anxiety, sleep and using wine to de-stress. Caoimhe also talks vision boards, living by design not by default and the freedom of discovering new ways to connect like an early-morning sauna. Enjoy! Caoimhe de Fréin is the founder of DEFRÉIN - a creative hub for self and leadership development, empowering people to live by design, not by default. A creative, engineer, and Life Design Coach with a background in tech leadership, she blends creativity with practical tools to help people gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward with greater intention. Through coaching, journaling, talks, and her signature Design Workshops and programmes, Caoimhe works with individuals, leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams to create meaningful change in their lives and work.
