Imagine rubbing shoulders with the likes of Wim Hoff and Dr. Vandanna Shiva while exploring the world of sobriety!
Janey’s set to talk about being 'Sober Curious' and how to build a life you don’t need to escape from, all happening on the Recover Stage. But that's not all. Janey also discusses the ongoing debate between traditional AA followers and the 'sober curious' crowd. She brings in insights from Emily Horwood, one of her Sober Coaches, who has had a positive experience with AA.
This episode isn’t just about events and debates; it’s also a reality check on recent news stories that suggest alcohol might be beneficial for heart health. Janey critiques these claims and shares her thoughts on high-profile antics like Boris Johnson's 'wine time Fridays'. She’s urging listeners to question long-held beliefs about alcohol, especially during holidays and celebrations. Plus, there’s a special announcement: to celebrate the 250th episode of the podcast, there will be a meet-up and live recording in London.
