Andrew is a truck driver, Dad, Husband and a sober guy on a gentle journey of self discovery. Growing up and not being sure how to express his emotions and bottling his feelings up led to Andrew to find himself in some pretty dark places which was exacerbated by alcohol. With the help of his beautiful wife, Andrew started to recognise that alcohol was making him so much worse and eventually decided to give it away. He has been sober now for over 12 months at the time of recording. He has gone from a place of very low self worth to loving who he is, he is happy, he is healthy and he has even come off his anti-depressants.
This is a true message of hope. Andrew is walking and talking testimony that you can pull yourself out of the darkest of places.

Find yourself a quiet spot, make yourself a nest, as Mark Purser guides you through this beautiful Yoga Nidra practice. Yoga Nidra is also known as NSDR (non sleep deep rest) or Yogic Sleep, it is a wonderful practice and a powerful technique for activating your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and get you into a place where deep healing can become possible . Yoga Nidra can be as restorative as sleep, while you remain fully conscious.
This is a great practice for your daily life, it's wonderful to help calm you when you are stressed out, anxious, craving alcohol, suffering insomnia or just need to slow down.
Yoga Nidra is a natural stress reliever that has also been found to increase dopamine levels.
Anyone can do Yoga Nidra the only contraindication, is if you are in an acute stage of Psychosis and Schizophrenia please chat with you medical practitioner before doing Yoga Nidra.
I hope you enjoy this Yoga Nidra.

I am joined once again with yoga and meditation teacher, Mark Purser.
Mark and I talk about the how we can create our own healing with mindfulness and creating stillness. We talk about the life changing power of Yoga Nidra and how bringing that guided practice into your day can transform everything.
Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) aka NSDR has been used for thousands of years as therapeutic tool to promote profound states of relaxation. By getting into this state of relaxation, slowing our brain waves and nervous system we can cultivate deep deep healing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Yoga Nidra is so useful for people in recovery, anxiety and depression, chronic pain and illness, and can even help people with ADD. Many doctors are now becoming aware of the profound effects of Yoga Nidra and are recommending it to patients to promote self healing.

I pull in the big guns for this episode hormones that I know very little about. I had a request from a listener to chat about alcohol and the effect it has menopause and peri-menopause. My good friend Lissie has studied the endocrine system extensively and is somewhat of an expert in the field. Lissie specialises in hormonal and cyclic education, and in clinic on any pathologies, lifestyle choices, dietary details related to restoring or building better menstrual, ovulating, pubescent, perimenopausal or menopausal health. Don't worry, it's not a snore fest, it's actually something every woman and every man for that matter should listen to.

In this episode I chat with Ryan Dusick, Ryan is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, the founding drummer of the band Maroon 5, a mental health advocate, and an author of the soon to be released book Harder to Breathe: A Memoir of Making Maroon 5, Losing It All, and Finding Recovery (out November 2022).
After increasing anxiety and severe nerve damage in his shoulder led to a complete physical and mental breakdown, Ryan's bandmates from Maroon 5 where forced to ask to him leave the band. Ryan turned to alcohol as a way to alleviate the emotional and physical pain he was going through.
Ryan's alcohol intake soon spiralled out of control and got to the point of some days drinking up to 6 bottles of wine in a day. Eventually with the help of his girlfriend he admitted himself into rehab and started to the process of recovery and healing.
Ryan is now a passionate about spreading the word that healing is possible and that a sober life has so many gifts to give.

In this episode I chat with spirit medium, Charmaine Wilson. Charmaine is a gifted medium who I have had the pleasure of having a very accurate reading with, however Charmaine's story is so much bigger than just being someone who can commune with the spirit world. Charmaine is a survivor of child sexual abuse, domestic violence, addiction and went through the tragic loss of a child. Charmaine is very direct and to the point and certainly doesn't mince her words and some people may find the content of this episode triggering. Charmaine has been to the depths of addiction and experienced immense and overwhelming trauma and suffering and is now totally sober. She has made it her mission to forgive herself and others to seek freedom.

In this episode I catch up with comedian, author and self professed show off, Mandy Nolan. Mandy delves into her deeply traumatic and violent childhood, the death of her father at a young age due to alcohol and how all that trauma has shaped her. Mandy's relationship with alcohol was also an unhealthy one, a fast drinker who would often have long blackouts. She is now enjoying sober life, we talk about how to schmooze without the booze, seeing your trauma and how is shows up in your adult life as triggers and most of all how she decided to give it away while she still has the choice.
Mandy is 2.5 months into her sobriety and I am challenging her to take on one year without booze and follow her progress throughout the year.
