07/07/2021Present and Sober Podcast Episode 5'Alcohol and Layers of Belief...'
Alcohol and celebrating go together like coffee and cake, right? You just CAN'T have one without the other! That's the message we see all around us - a celebration isn't a celebration without a drink in our hand! But is this REALLY the case? Is this reality or just something we believe and never question because everyone has bought into the story? Come and join us for this week's episode where we explore the different layers of belief that keep us stuck in an unhealthy relationship with alcohol (or any other substance). Understanding how things work at the level of substance, society and self is a huge piece of the puzzle when we're setting ourselves free from behaviours that no longer serve us and we know you'll her a lot from this one! 

• Beliefs at the level of substance e.g. 'Alcohol relaxes me' - (2.00+)
• Beliefs at the level of society e.g. 'Alcohol is needed to celebrate' - (8.00+)
• Beliefs at the level of self e.g. 'I can't cope without alcohol' - (20.00+)

29/06/2020Present and Sober Podcast Episode 4'I'll be happy when...'

Do you ever find yourself in 'I'll be happy when' syndrome? Is there something in your future that you just know will finally solve all your problems - the house, the partner, the long holiday? If you never fall into this way of thinking and truly spend your whole life in the present moment, you're a superhuman (or the buddha) and we want to know your secrets! In this week's episode, Sam and Ellie explore this very common way of seeing the world and talk about how coming into the present can bring you more happiness than anything outside you ever will. Holidays are nice, but how do we make life a holiday? We loved recording it and we hope you love listening to it! See you here - Sam and Ellie.
