130 - Calum Best on Scandals, Serenity + Searching for Love

From billboards, wild nights, hangovers, blackmail and bankruptcy through to fitness, businesses and helping to heal the world just by being him, today, Louise is joined by great friend Calum Best as they dig into the truth about the well-mannered, well-moraled and well-tempered ‘man behind the screen’.

The pair discuss:

  • Letting people see the ‘real you’ (and how everything changes when you step into this space)
  • The rock bottom moments when you realize ‘somethings gotta change’
  • Thriving in the struggle vs. finding solace in peace, calm & quiet
  • How our coping mechanisms change and shift as we grow older (and wiser!)
  • The importance of having purpose intricately weaved into life, and a career
  • Calum’s deep-rooted fears from past abandonment, particularly linked to being the child of an alcoholic - and how he has been deeply shaped by both of his parents

The pair also discuss whether Calum might be ready to find ‘the one’ and they query whether he is using being ‘too busy’, ‘building businesses’ and ‘wanting to be able to provide’ as a blockage for intimacy.

132 - For the sober curious girlies ft. Steph Elswood

Considering replacing wild nights out, h-angxiety, some bad decisions and horrendous hangovers with sobriety, safety, different types of fun and slightly earlier bedtimes? This episode is for you. This week, Louise & Steph Elswood discuss some of their wildest night outs that were stepping stones to them both shifting towards sobriety. The pair talk about:

  • How you don’t have to have a ‘problem’ to explore sobriety or being sober curious
  • Why you don’t have to make excuses about why you’re ‘not drinking’ (+ what to say instead)
  • How you can stop wasting your time in the dating world when you drink less
  • Feeling safer and ‘more in control’ as a sober women in today’s world
  • How debilitating h-angxiety can be (+ the savage hangover)
  • How so many people use it as a confidence crutch (and how powerful it can be to learn to remove this)
  • How to navigate the ‘just have one’, ‘don’t be boring’ or ‘that’s weird you don’t drink’ conversations
  • Why some people get triggered when you ‘don’t drink’
  • The dynamics of ‘changing friendships’ and how important supportive friends are as you shift towards sobriety

The pair also discuss guilt and shame from the past as well as asking whether they ever feel like they are ‘missing out’ or whether either of them would start drinking again.

The pair also discuss Steph’s new alcohol-free brand Carouse, how this can help you live your best sober-free life - as well as sharing all of their top tips and tricks around how to navigate the party world and friendship groups ‘sober’.
