In this episode we chat to Hayley Scherders, who's business in Canada has a fabulous name... Living Over The Influence!

Hayley talks to us about the joys that alcohol-free life has brought her after alcohol and drug misuse meant she hit her rock bottom. She believes that a rock bottom is a lesson and not a life sentence, and now helps other people to remove alcohol from their lives through Living Over The Influence and as a This Naked Mind coach.

We talk about shame, we talk about discovery and we talk about possibility - and despite covering some really difficult topics, this is a really uplifting conversation.
