Episode 108:
This week we had a really brilliant chat with the author Cait Flanders @caitflanders about sobriety, intentional living and living with less - VERY INSPIRATIONAL.
Cait Flanders is the author of Wall Street Journal bestseller, THE YEAR OF LESS. Described by Vogue as “a fascinating look into a living experiment that we can all learn from,” it has been translated into 10 languages, and sold more than 190,000 copies.
Her new book, ADVENTURES IN OPTING OUT, is a field guide to opting out of expectations, changing paths, and leading a more intentional life. Powell’s Books says it, “offers a sturdy and flexible framework to navigate whatever path you are currently on.”
Cait’s story has been shared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, Oprah.com, Treehugger, Forbes, and more. She always has an adventure in the calendar, and believes in leaving every place better than she found it. She is from Victoria, BC, Canada.
We really enjoyed this chat and we're sure you will too. Also mentioned by Kate B RELIGION FOR ATHEISTS

This week we discuss gratitude- and not the lofty, worthy, you-should-be-bloody- grateful type of gratitude but the actual access point to changing our emotional and mental state. As always these things are evidence-based wellness and mental health tools and so they are sober tools. From tea, to friends, to mindfulness, we look at our journeys with this persistent and gentle art and the unexpected places it shows up in our lives.
Love Yourself Sober - a self care guide to alcohol free living for Busy Mothers Kindle edition by Kate Baily & Mandy Manners is available now for 99p for Alcohol Awareness Week ( 16-22 Nov 2020). HERE
