In this episode I catch up with comedian, author and self professed show off, Mandy Nolan.   Mandy delves into her deeply traumatic and violent childhood, the death of her father at a young age due to alcohol and how all that trauma has shaped her.  Mandy's relationship with alcohol was also an unhealthy one, a fast drinker who would often have long blackouts.  She is now enjoying sober life,  we talk about how to schmooze without the booze, seeing your trauma and how is shows up in your adult life as triggers and most of all how she decided to give it away while she still has the choice.  
Mandy is 2.5 months into her sobriety and I am challenging her to take on one year without booze and follow her progress throughout the year.
