About

Helping high-achieving professionals take back control of their alcohol so they can get back to crushing their goals.

Experience

I can help because I've been there.

I'm Jonathan and I'm not an alcoholic.

I’m Jonathan Ball, a certified coach and recovering over-achiever who looked successful on the outside but was secretly drowning in burnout, anxiety, and destructive habits. Today, I help driven professionals break free from the patterns (like drinking, overworking, doom-scrolling, or emotional eating) that are holding them back. My clients aren’t broken; they’re simply running outdated programs, and I teach them how to rewire those defaults so they can live with clarity, power, and freedom. If you’re tired of falling short of your potential and ready to take back control, I’m here to help.

For years, I was stuck in a cycle I couldn’t seem to break. Everything on the outside looked like success. I had the job, the degrees, the image of someone who had it all together. But I was a wreck on the inside. I was running myself ragged trying to prove I was worth something, but all that hustling left me exhausted and hollow. What started out as social drinking turned into numbing out by myself most nights, and I hated how far I had drifted from the person I wanted to be.

I tried to change. I tried using willpower. I tried getting more disciplined. I’d start something new, feel hopeful for a while, and then end up right back where I started... if not worse. It wasn’t until I found better tools that real change finally started to happen. Tools rooted in curiosity instead of self-criticism. Compassion instead of shame. Personal responsibility without perfectionism. Tools I now teach to my clients. I stopped drinking. I lost almost fifty pounds. I rewired the way I thought about habits, decisions, and my own identity. Most importantly, I stopped living on autopilot. I started building a life that actually works.

Now I help others do the same.

I work with people who are tired of trying to white-knuckle their way to change. People who are ready to understand what’s really going on beneath their habits and who want to build something that lasts. Together, we build self-trust. We create lasting change.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting where you want to go, this is for you.

TESTIMONIALS

What clients are saying

"He taught me to empower myself with better beliefs."

I honestly feel I received more help from Jonathan Ball, in a short time, than I had from years with a therapist. I would recommend him if you are having any struggles with alcohol or other issues.

- Linda from FL

"A skilled guide through the highs and lows of life."

Jonathan provided tools and practices that I can implement in my day-to-day life, which have led to results in real time. I felt heard, seen and cared for in our sessions.

- Shannon from OH

"Like chatting with a friend who always has the right advice."

The no-nonsense methods used in his program take the guilt and shame out of it all… it's a more pragmatic approach that allows you to evaluate your 'whys' and make an informed decision moving forward. It's really empowering to be able to take those reigns back into my own hands and make choices that lead to the life I want.

- Sara from CA

"...shone lights on dark corners of my mind that I hadn’t thought to look at before."

We were able to get to the root of some of my preconceptions about how I view emotions, both within myself and others, and he has been able to help me change my relationship with alcohol.

- Josh from NC

"I felt incredibly comfortable, in a very short amount of time."

We’ve done some really interesting in-depth parts work which just by identifying and understanding why I’ve done something, unlocks it to the point where it melts away and is no longer an issue. It has really raised my overall confidence so much so, that we’re going to do another three months together.

- Chris from NY

"If you are open to coaching, I promise you it will transform your life."

I started approaching challenges and difficulties with curiosity rather than fear, challenging any preconceived ideas I had about other people, and noticed I began having more fun again. I attribute this not only to the exercises and processes that Jonathan taught me, but also to the person that he is: I immediately felt comfortable and at ease.
