The first episode of Love Sober Podcast 2.0  with guest Dufflyn Lammers, relationship and recovery coach. 
 
We know that, as Johann Hari says, connection is the opposite of addiction and so this  season has a focus on relationships with self and others. 
 
We introduce ourselves and delve into a bit of our respective histories, and why we do what we do. Dufflyn got sober 30 years ago, before we had the language around grey area drinking. 
 
Dufflyn talks to us about how she helps women thrive in relationships once they stop drinking or identify as being in recovery. 
 
She will popping  on regularly to take questions about relationships throughout the season and you I will be exploring sobriety questions so please feel free to write in to  hello@lovesober.com if you have a relationship  or sobriety quandary.

In this episode I have the privilege of talking to the gorgeous author Suzy Greaves about the vital skill of self-care and its foundational place in managing our wellbeing. Inner and outer care, self-respect, self-talk, boundaries and empowerment are just some of the topics we touch upon in this episode as Suzy shares her passion, compassion and wisdom. 
Suzy is a mother of two, an author, Chartered Psychologist and Coach. She specialises in self-care, helping people manage their stress, emotions, and energetic bank balance. It was her life experience of motherhood colliding with the terminal illness of her father that sparked her passion for self-care which she now teaches to her clients, young and old, to cope during periods of stress, loss and change and to boost their resilience in the face of future challenges. Suzy is the Psychology Expert for wellbeing brand Neom Organics and is a founding member of the ‘Nourish’ app. She figure-skated her way through her childhood, growing up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, and now makes her home in the hills of Hertfordshire, UK. Her first book ‘The Self-Care Revolution’ published by Aster came out in 2017, 'Stand Tall Like a Mountain: Mindfulness & Self-Care for Children and Parents' and 'The Little Book of Self-Care’ came out in 2019. ‘Self-Care for Tough Times’ and her first children’s book ‘This Book Will (Help) Make You Happy’ were published in 2021. Her first journal And Breathe,  Sit to Get Fit and her new deck of cards, “The Little Box of Self-Care” came out in 2022. Rest to Reset is hot off the press now, just in time to shake off the winter blues and boost the rebirth of Spring.

Courtney is a Holistic Sobriety Coach and founder of The Radical Wellness. She helps individuals make (seemingly) radical lifestyle changes that improve their overall health and empower them to trust their intuition so they can remove the booze, break the loop of self-sabotage, create healthy habits and start living a life they love.
