Rosamund Dean: Sober socialising takes practise (and a rock solid plan)
In this episode Toni is reconnecting with journalist and author Rosamund Dean, former deputy editor of Grazia, and the author of 2 books: Mindful Drinking: How Cutting Down can Change Your Life, and Reconstruction: How to Rebuild Your Body, Mind and Life after Breast Cancer.
After being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in 2021, Ros has trained as a health coach and today writes about health and wellness for publications including the Telegraph and Vogue, as well as via her own substack newsletter, Well Well Well, which is all about optimising your health in a way that is doable, accessible and fun.
In this episode we discuss:
How alcohol is one of the biggest causal factors in breast cancer (and reducing what you drink by any amount will reduce your breast cancer risk)
The concept of mindful drinking for people not looking to go sober forever
Ros’s 3-part plan to reduce your drinking:
i The Problem (why it’s difficult to drink less)
ii The Incentive (the mental and physical benefits of reducing alcohol)
iii The Plan (practical steps on cutting down)
The importance of alcohol-free days and Ros’s rule of 3
How socialising sober takes practice (and why preparation is everything)
Why we need to reframe slip ups as part of the learning process
How not to slide into a wet February
Why tracking your drinking can be super valuable (and super scary)
An exercise to find the ‘why’ behind your reasons to drink less
