The Sober Rebel — Alternative Health
The Sober Rebel

Some people think that being sober is boring, they may even think that if you have to go alcohol free you’ve somehow drawn the short straw in life.

But what if it isn’t anything like that? What if it’s the best thing you could ever do to level up your relationships, your mental and physical health or even your life?

In this podcast Louisa talks to her fabulous sober guests about the joys of the sober life, the fun things they’ve noticed and the amazing things they’ve tried or done since ditching the booze that they’d never have done as a drinker.

These aren’t stories about how people got sober… they’re stories about why they enjoy staying sober.

Linsey | Overthinking, Physical Wellbeing and Gaining Confidence Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

As a weekend drinker, Linsey was initially worried about how she'd socialise and enjoy herself without alcohol but as she soon found out, she needn't have worried at all.

The benefits she's discovered in sobriety are endless, but the biggest is in feeling more in control of her mind when it comes to overthinking. Join Louisa and Linsey for a heartwarming conversation full of honesty and laughter as she reflects on how she can now train and run at the weekends and how sobriety has given her the confidence to walk away from situations that no longer support her mental wellbeing.

Jason | Congruency, Listening More and Overcoming Depression Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

This weeks guest is Jason, an entertainer and singer who quit drinking a month before his 50th birthday after seeing an unflattering photo that was taken of him when he was drunk and he hasn't looked back since.

In this episode Jason shares the reality of how low his mental health got as a drinker and how much he was sabotaging his physical health with poor choices around food and alcohol. Thankfully, he now feels a world away from that place.

From feeling overwhelmed to being back in the driving seat. He's making positive choices, listening to loved ones more intently, doing physical challenges, making better choices for his health and feeling congruent.

Some people think that being sober is boring, they may even think that if you have to go alcohol free you've somehow drawn the short straw in life.

But what if it isn't anything like that? What if it's the best thing you could ever do to level up your relationships, your mental and physical health or even your life? Because I can assure it is the best thing you will ever do for yourself and those you love... you have everything to gain and literally nothing to lose.

I'm a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and I help people with habit change but as a grey area drinker myself, I struggled when it came to quitting even though I had all the tools I needed in my toolbox.

In this podcast I talk to my fabulous sober guests about the joys of the sober life, the fun things they’ve noticed and the amazing things they’ve tried or done since ditching the booze that they’d never have done as a drinker. We will be talking about the massive gains you get when you go alcohol free and the unexpected benefits. Shifting the focus from what you're losing to what you're gaining.

These aren’t stories about how people got sober… they’re stories about why they enjoy staying sober.

We're all in this together so let's get the message out there that sober is absolutely NOT boring.

You'll find a range of links and resources on my brand new website www.louisaevans.com.

Follow me on instagram to find out more about my sober journey @stepping_into_sobriety or head to Audible to get a copy of my brand new book 'Becoming a Sober Rebel'.
