October 29, 2021 Love Sober Podcast 153 - Guest Lou Lebentz - Trauma Thrivers
TW: Please note there is discussion of sexual trauma in this podcast, so take care of yourself and your well-being.

This week Mandy is joined by @traumathrivers_loulebentz Lou is a well-known UK therapist, trauma clinician, speaker and Founder of “Trauma Thrivers” a hugely popular Facebook community for those in recovery from trauma, addiction and complex PTSD. Lou worked for over a decade on the addiction treatment programme at the Priory Hospital in Roehampton, and has been “in recovery” for 15 years herself.

This conversation touches on the interconnection between addiction and trauma, how many of us compare or discount our trauma story without compassionately understanding what trauma is and how it shows up in the body as a disregulated nervous system. We talk about Lou’s own story and why she is so passionate about helping people move from surviving to thriving, her new thrivability programme and @besoberandquit up coming Sobriety Breakthrough event.

October 22, 2021 Love Sober Podcast Episode 152 - Johnny Better Without
Episode 152 - Jonny - Better Without App

This week Mandy had the pleasure of talking to Jonny from @betterwithoutapp the world’s first alcohol free discovery app. It was launched in the UK in December 2020 and is now available in 4 countries.

Jonny has a background working for technology companies servicing the hospitality industry and it was with the combined technology knowledge and personal experience of giving up alcohol that the idea for the app came about.

His vision was to create a space for the millions of people who are sober or curious about changing their drinking habits, whether full or part-time. Having realised the number of drink options available and the growing range in both retail and hospitality, Jonny wanted to bring this together into one source.

The App is free https://betterwithout.app/ and a great tool for #soberoctober and beyond. Jonny is a great guy, and we really support everything he is doing for the sober community. Go check them out!

September 24, 2021 Love Sober Podcast 148 Harrison Ward - Fell Foodie
In this episode Mandy talks with the very inspiring Harrison Ward, also known as Fell Foodie @fellfoodie, who discovered a love of the mountains just as his life had hit rock bottom. A sufferer from
crippling depression and suicidal thoughts since puberty, life spiralled
out of control in early adulthood as he turned to alcohol to sedate his mind. By age 20, he was regularly consuming over 20 pints a day, was a full time smoker and had ballooned to 22 stone. A major life change in 2016, after coming to terms that he had become an alcoholic, brought him home to Cumbria. After vowing to leave booze and lethargy behind, he threw himself into a life of fitness. A close friend then introduced him
to hiking the local fells. A new passion was ignited and a fresh lifestyle began that remains to this day. Harrison is now over 5 years sober and can often be found merging his lifelong passion for cooking with his contemporary appreciation for the outdoors, producing restaurant-quality dishes in remote locations. This is such a good Episode, so grab a cuppa and let’s chat.
