Marathons and mega hangovers
03/25/23 • 38 min
Ruth Cooper-Dickson lives in the UK and used to drink a lot when she went out. Networking in the corporate world was always easier with a few drinks under her belt, but her passion for running marathons kept her drinking somewhat in check. It was back to back events which involved her emptying out her purse to a complete stranger that had Ruth asking the question, 'should I give up drinking?' So she did. And since then it hasn't been a straight forward path but Ruth has discovered more effective coping tools to deal with the big life stuff, she also just ran a personal best marathon too.
If you are a side hustle chaser or corporate high flyer, Ruth's story will inspire you to do the hustle hangover free.
An award-winning positive psychology practitioner and trauma-informed accredited coach, Ruth founded global Mental Wealth consultancy CHAMPS in 2015 and has since worked with a multitude of internationally renowned brands. With a firm belief that corporate wellbeing services are only as effective as the culture in which they are delivered, Ruth designs and delivers programmes helping clients on their journey of positive organisational change
Ruth shares her lived experience of anxiety disorders, trauma, ADHD, and her sober life. She is patron of the UK charity No Panic, runs two other coaching brands and holds an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. Currently Ruth is writing her research into coaching and post-traumatic growth of which she is extremely passionate about.

A former high class escort goes sober
Amanda Goff was once one of Australia's highest-paid escorts. Under the pseudonym Samantha X, she appeared on TV regularly, wrote two best-selling books and even started her own escort agency.
For eight years, she was at the top of her industry - Although there were plenty of highs during her career in sex work, there were also some lows. And for Amanda, those lows often revolved around alcohol.
For a long time, Amanda's life as a single mum and high-profile escort was "becoming unmanageable", turning to alcohol as an "emotional painkiller".
In early 2019, Amanda chose to give up alcohol. And then 18 months ago, she received a life-changing bipolar disorder diagnosis. Now being sober and on stable medication, Amanda says she now feels able to discover her 'true self'.
