Finding Your Clarity with Cecily Mak
Tue Jan 27 2026
In 2017, Cecily Mak decided to rethink her relationship with alcohol. What started as a 30-day experiment eliminating alcohol quickly revealed a life that felt clearer, richer, and more intentional without substances. Inspired by this change, Cecily began sharing her story on social media, and ClearLife was born–a movement dedicated to helping others reclaim clarity, presence, and intention in their lives. Now, Cecily is the co-founder of Wisdom Ventures, ClearLife Reset, and the voice behind ClearLife. In her new book Undimmed, Cecily shares her framework to empower readers to choose practices, habits, and priorities that support a life of presence, healthier relationships, and deeper alignment. Join us as we talk about the story behind ClearLife, Cecily’s book Undimmed, and what it means to live clear.
