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.

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

Alex Kyriakidis (@alexk_coaching) is a Transformational Life & Embodiment Coach and Energy Healer who helps women break free from stress, self-doubt, and the patterns that keep them stuck - so they can finally feel peace, confidence, and joy in their lives.

A former stressed-out corporate exec, Alex knows firsthand what it’s like to look “successful” on the outside while feeling completely lost on the inside. After years of climbing the corporate ladder, she found herself drowning in anxiety and using alcohol as a way to cope - wondering if this was all life had to offer. Everything changed when she (very skeptically) tried meditation. That small step led her down a path of deep healing - through energy work, embodiment, and inner child healing - helping her release the shame and self-doubt that had been weighing her down for years.

Now, seven years sober and living a life she never thought was possible, Alex guides women to reconnect with themselves on a deep level - through a unique blend of life coaching and body-led techniques. She helps women stop living in their heads, release emotional blocks, and rebuild their self-worth from the inside out.
