Welcome to The Life of YOU, the bonus series where we tackle your dilemmas and share advice to navigate life’s trickier moments. In this special episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Millie Mackintosh for an honest Q&A session.

Today:

• Adam’s struggle with anxiety and alcohol as a social crutch: how to break the cycle and find confidence.

• Amara’s challenges with comparison and imperfect parenting: how to embrace your own rhythm and let go of guilt.

• Advice for a listener worried about addressing their partner’s drinking habits without causing conflict.
