Love Sober Podcast 78 Money 08/05/20

Friday May 08, 2020

In this week's podcast we chat about the M word- the money- in terms of us growing up as poor kids, setting up a CIC, the gender nuances and the invisible role of home carers which is really being thrown into profile in our own lives in lockdown. We are getting our big girl pants on and looking at our relationships with money and our goals and recovery around it. We are also looking at the new Institute of Happiness research around measuring countries' wealth and tools to keep us well in uncertain times.

Love Sober Podcast 71 Tools 20/3/20

Friday Mar 20, 2020

In this episode we talk more about tools and practices to support sobriety, mental health and wellbeing during challenging times. Using our B.A.L.A.N.C.E.D.™ model we explore our ideas and practices for thriving and coping with challenges. These are dear to our heart and they have come from the gentle enquiry (or total freak out) of early sobriety as we suddenly think " What the F am I actually doing ???? and how the FFFF do I do it' They are backed up by our studies in The Science of Happiness, training as coaches, private study, the hive mind of the sober community and from walking the walk since we began our sober journeys 7 years ago.

Body: nutrition, somatics, physical exercise, caring for our physical selves.

Awe: Practices that connect us to something greater- nature, community, the night sky, ritual or wonder.

Love: Ourselves, self care practice, self-compassion, compassion, loved ones, what we love.

Alignment: Works with our 'why' our values which tend to surface in sobriety as we can hear the whispers of our hearts and find the agency to work with them.

Nurture: Feeding ourselves , our minds and hearts with knowledge, creativity and inspiration as we ask 'What do I really need?'

Connection : Community and the ways we connect with loved ones and our tribe, the importance of honouring our pro-social natures to co-regulate and belong.

Enjoyment: Fun, laughter, shits n giggles, creativity, bungee jumping etc .. what lights you up? The importance of a variety diet of happy hits to keep us from feeling deprived. All work and no play making Jackie a dull girl etc....

Drive: Direction, true north and our spirits and energy that keep us moving towards our goals and fullfilling our dreams and sense of purpose.

Love Sober Podcast 69 Guest: Sober Experiment 06/03/2020

Friday Mar 06, 2020

This week Mandy is joined on the pod by Lisa and Alex from Sober Experiment. It was such a great chat, we discussed familys, life, drinking, trauma and the adverse childhood experiences that perhaps are behind why we numb out with alcohol and the power of really healing. We talk about their brilliant work within the workplace to invite the sober curious for a sober experiment and all the work they are doing. Including their event at Redemption on March 28th with guest speakers, Simon Chappel, Sober Dave, William Porter and Mandy https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-sober-experiment-uk-tour-london-tickets-88427939347?aff=ebdssbeac sponsored by Vibe Drinks.

Their friendship is a beautiful thing to witness, and there is nothing better than listening to people's stories, being in awe of their bravery, spirit and journey, we really enjoyed this chat and we know you will too, so grab a cuppa and let's chat. X

Learn more about Alex and Lisa on their website www.soberexperiment.co.uk The Sober Experiment was founded by Alex and Lisa, best friends for almost 30 years. They have worked together, drank together, emigrated together and after a short period of time spent on their own life journeys, have now embarked on a sober experiment together.

Despite both having successful careers and settling down to family life, both had been using alcohol as a crutch for all sorts of relatively ‘normal’ reasons, alcohol began to play too much of a part in their everyday lives. One morning, Lisa called Alex to announce she was experimenting with sobriety for 100 days. A year later, after Lisa had decided sobriety was a permanent fixture, Alex joined her. Together they have shared experiences beyond their wildest dreams and decided sobriety was just too good to keep to themselves.

They both realised that it wasn’t necessary to be labelled alcoholic in order to want to improve your lifestyle and become a healthier version of yourself. Through shared and different life experiences, they realised that although on the same journey, their pasts and present situations were so different that they could touch the hearts and minds of so many different people and turn their negative past into help for others.

They agreed that change was needed and wanted to create a platform where the stigma surrounding alcohol and alcoholism could be removed. The Sober Experiment was born and in such a short amount of time, they have been able to bring their services to help others. As an IPHM accredited training provider, The Sober Experiment now works interactively with groups of people in the workplace to allow them to ask anything and say anything in a safe environment with no stigma attached. Alex and Lisa ensure everyone they touch has a raised awareness surrounding the impact of alcohol on wellbeing, from CEOs to Managers to Staff to Students, and provide the tools to allow people to support others by knowing how to identify and refer concerns.

So many people use alcohol along life’s pathway. From wetting the baby’s head, to raising a glass at a funeral but the conversation of alcohol as an addictive substance is avoided until it is too late. Alex and Lisa want to change this and start having these conversations before a person becomes addicted. The Sober Experiment provides a safe space and support for everyone who chooses not to drink alcohol (either for social, religious, cultural or personal reasons) for people to be a part of and to talk without the fear of being labelled and encourage open and honest conversations.
