Molly Ruggere is a Certified Life Coach, Alcohol Freedom Coach and Founder of Counterculture Club, a global alcohol-free community based in Charlotte, NC that offers private and group coaching, monthly membership and virtual and in-person events for individuals who want to build authentic relationships, socialize without drinking and counter the mainstream idea that we need alcohol to have fun, fulfilling lives.

Molly gave up drinking when she realized alcohol was holding her back from living her life to the fullest. She experienced incredible personal transformation, and in 2019 she decided she wanted to find a community of like-minded individuals interested in growing and exploring new experiences without alcohol together.

As someone who once thought alcohol was a requirement for socializing and fun, Molly’s mission is to show others that removing alcohol from your life is the opposite of boring—it opens up doors and possibilities, allowing you to embrace opportunities with clarity.

Molly firmly believes that giving up alcohol was the single best decision she’s ever made in her life, and is committed to showing others how much fun and freedom can be had once you embrace the idea that you don’t need booze to be your best self.

In addition to working as an entrepreneur and coach, Molly is also a writer who regularly contributes stories to local and national publications about how to live an alcohol-free lifestyle. You can read some of her stories on her website here: https://www.mollyruggere.com/

When she’s not coaching, growing Counterculture Club or writing, Molly enjoys reading, going to concerts, hitting yoga classes, trying new restaurants, traveling and spending time with her friends, family and teacup poodle Ziggy.
