Ep 11 - Don't Call Me Crazy

07/27/20 • 63 min

This week we tackle the subject of mental health. We share our personal experiences around mental health and how it’s intrinsically linked with our sobriety. We discuss expectations around mental health when we stop drinking and the stigma around asking for help. Oh and there’s a little bit of Yeezy thrown in there for good measure. Please remember to rate and review and subscribe my darlings!

Ep 10 - Breaking up without booze

*TRIGGER WARNING* This week we discuss a recent event in Leisa’s life - a bad break up - and how she has got through whilst staying sober. Life certainly has thrown some tests our way since quitting the booze but we want to talk about how keeping that clarity throughout the ups and downs has built resilience and given us the strength to confront and work through a crisis. We discuss some sensitive topics in this episode, especially around emotional abuse but please be warned that this may be triggering. But we hope this conversation helps to show how we can work through the hard parts of life without having to numb out. A few links to things that we discuss in this episode: If you are struggling with your mental health or feel unsafe in any way contact Lifeline 13 11 14 https://www.lifeline.org.au/ If you think you may be in an abusive relationship call 1800 RESPECT - https://www.1800respect.org.au/ A great meditation - https://insighttimer.com/manojdias/guided-meditations/metta-loving-kindness-meditation-3 ‘BE the bad bitch’ playlist courtesy of Leisa! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/01w4e4e9O3iN1suuJwdNw9?si=oGthkZaVTvebrtJBa6kJNg
