Sinead Crowe - RERELEASE

We're taking it back to where it all began—when Sinead Crowe @meandnobooze joined me at just 12 weeks into her alcohol-free journey. In this raw, honest and inspiring conversation, Sinead opened up about what led her to rethink her relationship with alcohol, how she navigated those early weeks and the surprising shifts she began to notice in her body, mind and spirit.

Now, one year later, Sinead is 12 months booze-free—and we’ve recorded a powerful new episode to celebrate this milestone released today too.

🎉 Sinead Crowe: One Year Alcohol-Free 🎉

Twelve months. 365 days. One full revolution around the sun without alcohol — Sinead @meandnobooze is back on the podcast to share everything she’s learned along the way.

In this follow-up to our original conversation at 12 weeks alcohol-free, Sinead reflects on what has changed, what’s stayed the same and how this decision has deeply transformed her life. We talk about navigating social events, strengthening self-trust, redefining fun, gardening and the incredible clarity and joy that comes with a year off the sauce.

This is an honest, empowering and heartwarming conversation that proves just how much can change in a year. Enjoy!

In this incredibly honest and uplifting episode, I sit down with author, founder of Sober Girl Society and all-round powerhouse Millie Gooch to talk about what it really means to go alcohol-free. We explore the emotional sensitivity that so many of us share, the sense of freedom that comes from saying goodbye to booze and how sobriety doesn’t mean missing out—it means moving from stagnation to evolution. We also chat about the recent sunny weather and how we can break the connection between sunny weather & booze. Enjoy!

Millie will be a headline speaker at this years Wellfest here in Dublin.

Whether you're sober-curious, on your own alcohol-free journey or just in need of some inspiration—this episode is for you!

Please note that during our conversation Millie talks about how the after affects of alcohol brought her to a dark place

Nichola White

Nichola @nicholawhite_ is a holistic coach, registered nurse of 30 years, and trauma-informed menopause specialist. Originally from near Newcastle in the UK, she moved to Australia after working in palliative care—deeply aware of how short life can be.

During the pandemic, while working on the wards and grieving her father from afar, she faced guilt, grief, and months of high-functioning anxiety. Wine became her escape—until burnout threw her into early menopause and forced her to pause.

That moment changed everything.

Nichola is now an accredited sobriety, mindset, and wellness coach, with certifications in NLP, hypnosis, EFT, and yoga for all stages of menopause. She supports midlife women to release emotional layers, reset their nervous systems, and reclaim clarity, confidence, and vitality—from the inside out.
