CW #16 - CHAT: Keeping it in the family with my 44 year old cousin
2w ago00:46:44Tap to summarizeWe’d love to hear from you. Drop us a text. My cousin Hana Earley is a mum of 3 and works in education. Since diving into alcohol at uni (not literally), it has continued to be a big part of her life, but has she just turned a corner? 👀 And if so, how?? We even venture into the tricky world of parental booze guidance. How on earth do we tackle that when the time comes? Great to get a different perspective on things and listen out for a top nutrition tip.

Transcribe →CW #14 - Habit related analogic catharsis
Apr 1700:19:16Tap to summarizeWe’d love to hear from you. Drop us a text. A shameless plug for the London Marathon fundraising effort for The Forward Trust. How many KMs have been run since training started? How many hours have been invested? As well as a somberish reflection on negative habits and the huge impact they can have down the line if they have the chance to 'take hold'.

A quick review of St Ives on #clarityweek. Was it what I wanted? Or did I regret not enjoying a couple of local ales.

Feb 1200:20:05Tap to summarizeWe’d love to hear from you. Drop us a text. So you've taken the leap, you've made some good choices and found some clarity and you're feeling great but how can we 'bottle that feeling'? I discuss a few tips for this as well as The Sinclair Method, a medical approach to moderating. Some Atomic Habits references and my next fundraising challenge round off this one. Enjoy!
Transcribe →CW #9 - CHAT: Booze culture among the younger generation through the eyes of Matthew Ramos
Jan 2900:48:51Tap to summarizeWe’d love to hear from you. Drop us a text. Great to get a guest back on the show, and even better that it's Matt Ramos. 12 years my junior, Matt was able to give some insight in answering the question, "Are people in their 20s more sensible when it comes to booze?"With a alcohol related film recommendation and a theory about what makes every situation better to boot, this was a glorious return to interviewing after multiple solo pods 😁

As we move into 2026, Dry Jan is dominating many a conversation across the nation, but when did it all begin? And who started it? And why did they start it? And what did they notice? Join me for a festive review, a little history lesson and a Clarity Week check in to kick off things off.
Transcribe →CW #7 - Falling at the first festive hurdle
Dec 1100:23:28Tap to summarizeWe’d love to hear from you. Drop us a text. The possible pitfalls if you don't stick to the process. An early signpost for Dry Jan, yes I know it's early but I think there's value in starting the conversation early for this. And some other alcohol related ramblings. Super interesting ones of course 😉
