Some people think that being sober is boring, they may even think that if you have to go alcohol free you've somehow drawn the short straw in life. But what if it isn't anything like that? What if it's the best thing you could ever do to level up your relationships, your mental and physical health or even your life? In this podcast Louisa talks to her fabulous sober guests about the joys of the sober life, the fun things they’ve noticed and the amazing things they’ve tried or done since ditching the booze that they’d never have done as a drinker. These aren’t stories about how people got sober… they’re stories about why they enjoy staying sober. ____________________________ Louisa Evans (MSc Psychology, Dip.

She brings together psychological theory, CBT tools and hypnotherapy techniques to support behaviour change, including helping people change their relationship with alcohol.

    John on Clarity, Increased Creativity and a Love of Mornings

    In this episode, Louisa is joined by John to talk about what life has looked like since he stopped drinking, and the things he’s come to value far more on the other side of it. John has lived with OCD for many years and, after getting sober, was diagnosed with ADHD. He talks about what it's been like to understand his brain differently, particularly without alcohol in the mix, and how drinking would completely wipe him out every time, affecting far more than just the hours he spent drinking. His three benefits of sobriety are clarity, his creativity and his mornings. For a FREE guide to help you through the first few weeks of sobriety, visit www.louisaevans.com.

    Barbara & Rick on Confidence, Empathy and the Role of Faith

    In this episode, Louisa talks to Barbara and Rick, who have just celebrated two years of sobriety together. Faith has always been a huge part of both of their lives, with Barbara working in the church and Rick working as a funeral celebrant. They talk about how sobriety has affected their confidence, their empathy and the way they now show up in the parts of life that already mattered deeply to them. For Barbara, that growing confidence has also meant stepping forward to organise women’s events through the church. Together they reflect on what has changed over the past two years, both individually and as a couple, and what they’ve discovered about themselves along the way.
