On this episode of Go Help Yourself, Misty is joined by special guest Megan Parlen Isser to review the book Mindful Drinking: How Cutting Down Can Change Your Life by Rosamund Dean, which promises to help us cultivate a new, healthy and more mindful relationship with alcohol.

Journalist Rosamund Dean combines scientific expertise with practical advice in a game-changing four-step plan, and says drinking less will improve your mood, your skin and your body as well as reduce stress and anxiety for the long term.

In this Mindful Drinking book review podcast, we cover each part of Rosamund’s four-step plan:

• The Problem
• The Incentive
• The Clean Break
• The End Game

If you'd like to purchase the book, you can do so at Bookshop.org and Libro.fm (and choose Bloomsbury Books to support as your independent book store).

About Megan Parlen Isser:

Megan was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA where she was a child actress from the age of 2 until 20. She decided to get out of the acting game and attended UCLA for undergrad and USC Annenberg's Graduate School for Journalism. She worked in the entertainment industry as an Executive Producer in documentary film and television and as a Creative Director for some of your favorite streaming projects. 

She and her husband fled to Ashland, Oregon with their two young daughters during COVID for "a few weeks of relief from LA." Within 6 months, they bought a house and never left. 

Megan is now the co-owner of Ashland's treasured independent bookstore Bloomsbury Books along with her husband. She is also a professor at Southern Oregon University in the Digital Cinema and Communications Department. In her spare time she likes to color with her daughters, read books, go on morning runs, walk her aging dog and laugh with her handsome husband.
