The Sober Insights Podcast | by Belle Robertson

This is a new episode revisiting an ‘older’ episode It’s about trying to quit drinking and drawing the same image over and over, hoping for a different result.

I talk about the Eiffel Tower, paring knives, learning to make croissants, and having a box in the middle of your living room that you keep banging into. You’ll see, these all tie together!

many hugs from me to you

love, belle xo

This is an emergency audio you can listen to when you’re irritated or annoyed. It’s a 2-minute timeout, to help refocus. to remind you that wolfie is an anus.

Duck Ponderings 004 – The Book. The first book was an ‘accident’, the second book was more intentional. My 80% is free model. The idea of being led by subscribers. How I’ve ‘stopped pushing’.  Oh, and there are horses at the duck pond today! And I tried really hard to get a photo …

This is a behind-the-scenes audio about how the 100-day sober challenge got started, the first few penpals, what I thought when I began (as to what it might turn into). How it has evolved over time. And how to lower the barrier to entry in terms of being sober.

You have a voice in your head that thinks that drinking is a good idea. which it isn’t. maybe you’re looking for a sober tool to convince you that drinking isn’t a good idea. maybe this audio is that tool.

I had the lovely pleasure of speaking with Catherine Gray in January 2019. She’s penpal #270 

At the time of our chat, she was the author of three books ​(no kidding) — two about being sober and one about being single — and I’ll put in the links to her books below.

We talk about leaving parties early, how to text your friends in advance, and what she might write next (you may be surprised and excited).
