Drunk Mummy Sober Mummy: A Conversation With Victoria Vanstone

Victoria Vanstone lives on The Sunshine Coast in Australia with three children, a dog and a very patient husband. She is originally from the UK and has been writing about motherhood and her zig zaggy journey to sobriety for two years. Victoria started writing on the exact day she quit drinking alcohol. It became her outlet and distraction from peering in the fridge at cold bottles of wine. She found letting out all of her fuckupery on her blog and in her upcoming book has helped solidify her sobriety and led her to understand herself and her destructive habits.

Alcohol Consciousness: A Conversation With Ken Makimsy Middleton

Ken Makimsy Middleton is the editor of a Medium Publication named AINYF; Alcohol is NOT Your Friend. It's a publication focused on science-based strategies to help individuals change their relationship with alcohol and create the best version of themselves. 

 

Ken coined the term alcohol-consciousness to represent his belief that one should not have to hit rock bottom or have a "problem" with alcohol to quit drinking. Instead, it's something that people should consider to live a more holistic and healthy lifestyle.

 

He’s currently in the middle of a book project on the topic titled Bamboozled - How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All, and we talk about some of his concepts from that book in this episode.

 

Topics covered in this episode include:

 

- Educating children on alcohol

- The role that Hollywood plays in the ubiquitous nature of alcohol

- Perception of value versus reality

- The importance of drinking consciously and quitting consciously.

- Filling the white space

- Exercise

- Diet

- How alcohol plays a role in the mid-life crisis/awakening

- How it’s never too late to quit

 

Am I On The Right Path?

The decision to be someone who doesn't drink alcohol and live more consciously is a complicated affair riddled with hope, fear and anxiety. In this monologue, Lee Davy shares his view to help you answer the question - Am I On The Right Path?

In this week's episode, Lee Davy talks about the role that status has in our challenge to become someone that doesn't drink alcohol.

A Sober Journey: A Conversation With Anna Welch

This week’s guest is Anna Welch. 

 

Anna, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been a STRIVER for almost five years, and I invited her onto the show to share her journey. Since joining STRIVE, Anna has learned to be someone who doesn’t drink alcohol and to live more consciously. She is a leader within the STRIVE community, at her place of work, and, of course, in her home in her role as wife and mother. 

 

In this episode, we talk about the difficulty in joining communities like STRIVE because of the shame associated with having alcohol dependency, what ‘doing the work’ looks like for Anna and her relationship with God.
