  • Highly recommend for sober curious

    Been listening to the pod for over a year and often recommend to friends who are struggling or simply considering their relationship to alcohol - so dropping a note here. Thank you Anna! Your work has been so influential. I particularly relate coming from the advertising industry, and being a mum. But the pragmatic approach and grounded tone of the podcast, focus on beliefs, and curious outlook make this a refuge. Check it out!

  • Useful

    There’s some good stuff here. I found the early episodes on how to handle peer pressure when out in the evening and the one on habitual evening drinking genuinely useful and have re-listened to them several times.

  • A breath of fresh air.

    I love this podcast. I love the honesty and truthfulness. It’s neatly placing alcohol where it should be & recognising what alcohol is, does and the vectors that introduce it into our lives. Clearly Anna has really thought about this and that is reflected in broad spectrum of guests she has on the show. I encourage anyone who is looking to stop, cut down or are even just sober-curious to listen to this pod. I’ve found it immensely helpful. Thank you Anna.
