About Jen Laws
I built this because I needed it and it didn't exist.
Gen X woman. Retired party girl. Alcohol-free since May 1, 2023. Not because I lost everything but because I decided I was done.
My Story
On the outside, my life looked exactly like it was supposed to.
Good job. Friends. Great family. A husband who loved me. Nobody would have looked twice.
What they couldn't see was that I was thinking about drinking every single day. That my plans and weekends and vacations were built around it. That I worked out consistently and undid it just as consistently. That I used it for every emotion, good and bad. Celebration, stress, boredom, grief, reward, Tuesday.
I felt completely alone. Like I was the only woman drinking this way while everyone else had it figured out. I wasn't dependent. I had no idea what gray area drinking was, and since my life wasn't falling apart, I had no reason to stop.
Until one day I decided I was sick of trying to manage it and was just done.
I was so tired of feeling terrible every morning. Tired of going through my life on mute. Tired of all the static. Tired of not being the woman I wanted to be. I picked a date. May 1, 2023. This time I meant it and I stuck with it. I didn't do it for my husband, or my friends, or anyone else. I did it for ME.
I built The Static Free Collective because I spent a long time looking for something built for women like me. It didn't exist. So I built it.
Who I Am
I'm not going to hand you a list of client wins I don't have yet.
What I have is this: I've lived it, I trained specifically for it, and I built this because I needed it and it didn't exist. That's my proof. Right now, I'm it.
When I found Andy Ramage's work through the Sober Summit I knew immediately. He's one of the most recognized names in the alcohol-free space, founder of Coach Business School, and someone who has spent over a decade working specifically with middle-lane drinkers. Not people with a diagnosis. People exactly like you and me.
I trained under him for six intensive months because I knew what it felt like to be in the gray area with nobody to talk to, and I wasn't willing to let that be someone else's story too.

My Life Now
My life didn't get smaller when I stopped drinking. If anything, it got louder.
I've kept every ritual. I just changed what was in the glass. I still go to dance clubs, travel, take drinks to the beach, watch Broncos, Preds, Cubs, and Tennessee Vols games with something cold in my hand. Still spend pretty days by the pool. Still meet friends for drinks. Still check every menu for the good stuff.
In 2025 I went to a Pearl Jam concert alone. First solo concert of my life. It was one of the better nights I've had in years.
I tell you this because before I stopped drinking my biggest fear was that my life would get boring. That I'd become someone who stays home, declines invitations, and makes everyone uncomfortable at the bar. That didn't happen. Not even close.
