On Day Twenty-One of the Mindful Drinking Advent, we rethink what “treat yourself” really means. 

This episode challenges the idea that indulgence has to involve alcohol, and asks a simpler question: Does it actually make you feel better? You’ll explore how to choose treats that restore rather than deplete — from low/no drinks and better sleep to time alone, movement, rest, and saying no when you mean no. 

A reminder that the best treats give something back.

On Day Twenty of the Mindful Drinking Advent Series, we talk about family pressure — the noise, the mess, the emotional labour, and the temptation to use alcohol just to take the edge off. 

This episode is a reminder that presence matters more than perfection. You’ll explore how letting go of impossible standards, taking micro-escapes, and choosing to join in rather than control the chaos can transform the next few days. 

Be kind to yourself. This season doesn’t need you flawless — it needs you there.

On Day Nineteen of the Mindful Drinking Advent Series, we focus on preparation — the difference between struggling through December and genuinely enjoying it at home. 

As work parties wind down and family time ramps up, this episode explains why stocking your fridge, upgrading your glassware, and thinking like a bar rather than relying on willpower makes drinking differently feel effortless. 

Being prepared turns good intentions into easy, satisfying choices — especially when everything else slows down.

On Day Eighteen of the Mindful Drinking Advent Series, we talk about morning wins — those glorious, clear-headed starts after a night where you stuck to your intentions. 

This episode is a reminder to enjoy that feeling without turning it into a sermon. 

Not everyone is ready for the same choices at the same time, and no one ever changed because they were shamed. 

Lead by example, lend a hand, grab the coffees, and let your calm confidence do the talking.

On Day Seventeen of the Mindful Drinking Advent, we tackle festive exhaustion and the myth of Dutch courage. 

When you’re tired, overstretched, and running on fumes, alcohol can feel like the thing that helps you keep going — but this episode questions whether it was ever really doing the work. 

You’ll explore the difference between energy and permission, how alcohol masks social fatigue, and why choosing the right people (or choosing rest) can be more powerful than pushing through another event.

On Day Sixteen of the Mindful Drinking Advent, we’re talking about just how far low, no and light alcohol drinks have come — and why if you’ve tried one, you definitely haven’t tried them all.

This episode encourages you to keep an open mind, experiment like you once did with full-strength drinks, and treat low/no as exploration rather than restriction. 

From pubs and supermarkets to specialist online retailers, there’s never been more choice — and plenty that genuinely tastes fantastic.

On Day Fifteen of the Mindful Drinking Advent, we focus on sleep — the foundation that quietly holds everything else together. 

This episode explains why the nightcap myth persists, how alcohol interferes with REM sleep and recovery, and why poor sleep makes every drinking decision harder the next day. 

You’ll learn simple, practical ways to protect your rest this December, from tracking sleep quality to timing your last drink, so you can wake up clearer, calmer, and more resilient.

On Day Fourteen of the Mindful Drinking Advent, it’s time for a mid-December check-in. 

This episode invites you to pause, take stock, and notice what’s genuinely different for you this year — better sleep, clearer mornings, fewer regrets, or simply fewer moments you wish you could rewind. 

You’ll reflect on what’s working, tweak what isn’t, and remind yourself that small changes still count. 

No pressure, no perfection — just honest awareness and smarter adjustments for the rest of the season.

On Day Thirteen of the Mindful Drinking Advent, we’re talking about the morning after the night before — the headache, the anxiety, the “I’m never drinking again” moment — and why shame is the least helpful thing you can reach for today. 

This episode encourages you to choose recovery over regret: hydrate, nourish yourself, move gently, forgive what happened, and reflect honestly on what triggered you so you can handle it differently next time. 

One night doesn’t define your December. Your next choice starts now.

On Day Twelve of the Mindful Drinking Advent Series, we explore the magic of that first sip — the exhale, the shoulder-drop, the tiny moment of relief we’ve spent years associating with alcohol. 

This episode explains why the first and second drinks do the heavy lifting, and why everything after that is just chasing a feeling your brain can no longer deliver. 

Learn to slow down, savour, stop at one or two, and switch to low/no or functional drinks that keep the ritual without the consequences. 

A practical, science-backed guide to staying in control while still enjoying the moment.
