T.W. Beravement, car accident, death.
In episode 13 I interview the gorgeous, beautiful human Mary- Jane Parnwell. I met Mary as we both used to work at a Brighton club night that was on every month.⁠ ⁠ Mary has been living a sober lifestyle for the last 5 years and we talked about what experiences in her life lead to this decision. We talk about how Mary's mental health and wellbeing has changed since giving up alcohol. We also touch on how important it is to have a support network of people around you, especially when dealing with trauma and loss.⁠ ⁠
Shout out to a brand new sobriety based podcast @twoyoungdrunks. Luke and Jamie both talk about what its like to be young and in recovery. Keep posted for our collaboration episode which will be recorded in the next couple of weeks. ⁠

12 AF Sesh

Maria returns! My long-term BFF is back for an alcohol-free drink tasting session and some other shenanigans... TW: poo. In this most chaotic and frivolous (inappropriate) episode to date, we both forget that we’re being recorded.

Menu:

@threespiritdrinks Social Elixir which is a vegan botanical spirit made from plants.

@hopandhemp CBD infused 0.5% Lowdown Larger (one of my person favourites)

From @fluere_drinks a raspberry flavoured non-alcoholic distilled spirit

Lastly, Becks Blue, a classic available in most pubs and bars

Next Episode

14 Roxanne

In episode 14, I interview @roxannecheckly for our last episode of season one!!
Roxanne reached out to me over social media and it was great to finally meet her in person! Roxanne talks about how getting sober changed her perception of working in bars, getting people drunk for a living. She talks about her own AF tasting nights that she started putting on to bring awareness to the sober community in Brighton. We talk about our internal monologues, the anxiety that we both had when we used to drink and how our priorities have changed dramatically since getting sober.
