Love Sober Podcast 47 Overwhelm 20/09/19

Friday Sep 20, 2019

In this weeks episode we talk about OVERWHELM. Such a huge trigger for so many of us. We talk about our experiences and how that lead into problem drinking. We talk about the problems of perfectionism, parental burnout and Maternal gatekeeping. We talk about how perfect vs honest parenting have both contributed to the growing problem of mummy wine culture and how we need to balance to thrive. We chat through some strategies we use to dial down the overwhelm. Kate talks through a technique to prioritise tasks called the Urgent/Important Matrix, we talk avoiding information overload and trying to find breaks, planning and prep, taking a third off the list and remembering always "This too shall pass".

So have a break, grab a cuppa and let's chat.

Love Sober Podcast 46 Guest:Clemmie Telford 13/09/19

Friday Sep 13, 2019

This week on the pod we are joined by Clemmie Telford. Clemmie is the creator of Mother of all Lists and the brilliant Honestly Podcast. She is a creative director and event organiser. Clemmie is also a mum of three and shares her honest portrayal of motherhood through her very popular instagram account. Clemmie suffers from Anxiety and made the decision to go sober based on her mental health journey and has been amazed at how positive breaking up with booze has been on her wellbeing.

It was great to talk to Clemmie about her decision to go sober, her relationship with alcohol and motherhood. As her background is as a creative, working in marketing and advertising it was also interesting to hear her thoughts on the insta mum influence and mummy wine time. Clemmie credits her podcast recording with Millie of @sobergirlsociety and meeting @soberdave1 at @bryonygordon book launch for fostering her sober curiousity and giving her the spark to want to try it herself - So it goes to show, being visual - sharing your story works in helping people make their own decisions about alcohol and whether it is right for them. We had a great time with Clemmie, so grab a cuppa and lets chat. M x

Love Sober Podcast 44 Planning 1/07/19

Friday Jul 12, 2019

This is the last pod until the period of school closure (holiday, is it tho?) so we chat through some strategies to think about. Seeking out collective joy, making a plan, taking the pressure off, putting down the beast of comparisonitis which is Social Media and making room for much needed self care. This period can be particularly difficult and having a daily check in email and motivation can really help which is why Kate created the 30 day essential Toolkit which £30 - a £1 a day! https://www.lovesober.com/essential-toolkit/ We also mentioned that you can be a Love Sober Patron/Matron ooooo Matron here https://liberapay.com/LoveSober up until now, the website, group and podcast hosting and editing has been self-funded by us, so any donation is greatly received.

Love Sober Podcast 43 Boundaries 05/07/19

Friday Jul 05, 2019

This week on the pod we talk boundaries. We have come to the conclusion that this is THE KEY to managing stress, overwhelm and then reaching for the f*** it button with a glass of wine. So how do we say no? How do we protect ourselves from burnout in this modern world? - It’s not easy, for many of us it’s challenging a lifetime of people pleasing. Combined for us being “modern mother’s” we have been given a seat at the table in a professional sense yet the infrastructure and support for women to be able to have a career & be a parent is still far from being equal, it won’t be will it until women actually head up companies rather than still banging on that glass ceiling - So what this means is we are micro managing our lives, we have adapted careers around motherhood, we are on the brink of burnout constantly, with the emotional baggage of “shoulds” So being able to reassess what we have put on our plate is essential - asking ourselves the uncomfortable question am I being a martyr here or is this necessary? What are my needs? What has to be done, what can wait? Believing that real friends don’t mind when you cancel, moving away from the drama triangle and applying our oxygen 😷 masks first are all tools we can learn. Join us for a cuppa and a chat as we try to get to grips with where we are at with boundaries. An essential skill to keeping sane and sober. K & M xx

Friday Jun 07, 2019

In this Episode we were delighted to chat with Penni, our sobersister down under based in Sydney and creator of the Facebook community Recovery Buddha. Mandy met Penni initially by chance at #sherecoversla and was immediately in love with her joy, spirit and sense of badassery. She jumped in the Beverly Hilton’s pool with Brandy @soberasshit and Paula @shamebooth in full Gala attire - if it’s good enough for Angelina Jolie at the Golden Globes, it’s good enough for awesome women celebrating sobriety 🙌. Penni is a Clinical Psychologist, Recovery Hero and Mama to three kids her youngest daughter who has ASD (Autism). We really wanted to share the conversation with Penni for parents who have children with special behavioral needs. It’s something close to so many women we know. We get abit emosh - life is tough, we are warriors and sobriety is our anchor, but this is one of the many huge challenges many people are facing. So grab a cuppa, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and join us for a chat. Big thanks to Penni, we love you sis X Find Penni @recoverybuddha on insta and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/RecoveryBuddhas/?ref=share Resources mentioned: Recovery Elevator https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/recovery-elevator/id971959728?l=en The Shair Podcast https://theshairpodcast.com/ She Recovers www.sherecovers.co Hello Sunday Morning https://www.hellosundaymorning.org
