In this episode, I chat with Snowy T, a 27-year-old who has just reached a significant milestone—one year of sobriety. Snowy talks about overcoming alcohol dependency, starting with how he fell in love with the effects of alcohol from his very first drink. Feeling disconnected from his peers as a non-drinker, Snowy eventually turned to alcohol to fit in, finding that it gave him the courage and confidence he felt he lacked.
Snowy talks candidly about how he always drank to excess, revealing that he had no 'off switch' when it came to alcohol. Anytime he drank, he always wanted more, which ultimately led him down a destructive path. However, through the 12-step program, Snowy found the support and tools he needed to get sober and, more importantly, stay sober.
We talk about making that decision at 26 to quit drinking, and how hard it was to make the choice.
Snowy opens up about the challenges he faced just before his one-year mark, including the resurgence of cravings and how he dealt with them. We discuss the importance of having a strong program and a supportive community to rely on in maintaining sobriety, especially during tough times. Whether is 12-steps or any other program that works for you.
This episode is a powerful exploration of the struggles and triumphs on the road to recovery, offering insights and encouragement to anyone navigating their own journey to sobriety.

In this solo cast I talk about how any step in the right direction is a great step forward. How by adding in some good practices can help us edge out some of the old toxic patterns.
Sometimes the big change is not right for us right now and if we don't get there, we can end up feeling guilty or down on ourselves.
In this episode I give some journalling prompts that you can ask yourself that can help you decide if this change is right for you, right now. Also, what you can do to start to move towards change.

In this episode, I catch up with Sarah from Melbourne, who is just four months sober and fresh out of rehab. Sarah shares her story of losing her beloved mother at a young age and how, with no tools to cope with the grief, she turned to alcohol as a way to mask her feelings. Over the years, her relationship with alcohol became unmanageable, with Sarah often drinking alone to combat the loneliness that motherhood sometimes brought.
After numerous attempts to quit on her own, Sarah decided to go to rehab for the boost she needed. Originally planning to stay for just three weeks, she ended up extending her stay to seven weeks, recognising the importance of not leaving before she felt ready. Now, full of energy and embracing a new chapter in life, Sarah is excited about her journey toward a future without alcohol.
If you think you might need rehab consult your GP.

In this episode, I catch up with Beau Brooks, who rose to fame in the 2010s as the frontman of the popular prankster group, The Janoskians. From hanging out with celebrities like the Kardashians and Ariana Grande, Beau shares his journey and opens up about his childhood wound from being abandoned by his father at a young age, which fueled an unquenchable desire for recognition.
After achieving fame, Beau started drinking heavily, which escalated to binge drinking and an inability to socialize without substances. His addiction to alcohol, cocaine, and pharmaceutical drugs spiraled out of control until a near-death experience he pledged to stay sober.
Now living a more humble life, Beau works in a factory and resides with his mom, using public transport to get to and from work. Despite his challenges, he uses his massive platform of over 3 million TikTok followers to advocate for mental health, sobriety, and living a wholesome life.

In this episode, I catch up with Michelle French, a HIQA grads member, for her second appearance on the podcast. We chat about some big challenges Michelle has faced over the last two years, like being the designated driver during a 30th birthday winery tour, discussing how she managed her cravings on the day and how playing the craving forward, with honesty
We explore how Michelle has embraced her creative side as a form of meditation, helping her find peace and focus. Now, two years into her sobriety, she finds that thoughts of alcohol rarely cross her mind—a place she once thought was way out of reach. Her story has not only transformed her own life but has also been a source of inspiration for her son and those around her.
Michelle opens up about the difficult times, including the hospitalisation and passing of her mother, and how even though it was a tough time she stayed committed to her sobriety through it all.
We talk about the day she almost threw in the towel and gave into the SB but reached out for support which kept her from drinking.
Through these stories, Michelle shows us that sobriety is a deeply personal but also fulfilling journey. Her reflections remind us that we can face life's biggest challenges and emotions while staying true to the person we aspire to be. Michelle's journey is a beautiful example of resilience and the power of doing things your own way. I love her so much. I hope you love this episode too.

In this episode, I catch up with the incredible Dr. Luke Sniewski to talk about triggers and change. We delve into why change can be such a challenge and how we can navigate it without just swapping one bad habit for another.
We talk about how change only happens when we are triggered, viewing these triggers as opportunities for growth. We chat about how our nervous system influences our choices and the various factors that come into play.
We explore our personal experiences with change and why practices like meditation and finding inner calm are crucial. Additionally, we share tips for handling triggers effectively and stress the importance of staying connected to our bodies for lasting change.
We also chat about how celebrating our wins helps to cement change.
At the end of the day, if we want change we have to put everything we are learning into practice. We can't change if we don't try. We won't change it we don't start taking the road less travelled.
