• What happens when you ditch the booze? With Hamish from the Sober Awkward Podcast

  Most of us have woken up with the mother of all hangovers at some point in our lives, vowing to ditch the booze or be more mindful next time. In a society where alcohol comes hand in hand with celebrations, commiserations and everything in between, it's very easy to forget our previous declarations of mindfulness while we order the next bottle of wine. So what's it like to really go full-on sober? Hamish Adam-Cairns is here to share his experience with us, and I have to say, it's really made us consider what alcohol is holding us back from. Hamish co-hosts the award-winning podcast, the Sober Awkward Podcast, and with his co-host Vic, brings a refreshing, honest and hilarious account of what joy and awkwardness being sober brings. Hamish and Vic have also set up the 'Cuppa Community', a place for you to share, get advice, join groups, create events and meet people that have decided to quit booze. Head over to their podcast hear more, and you can find resources on their website https://www.soberawkward.com/IG: @soberawkward Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

• The Mind Body Connection with Dr. Sula Windgassen

  In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between the mind and body. While it may seem obvious, we often overlook how deeply our mindset influences our physical health. Trauma, stress, and thought patterns can impact our bodies, just as our physical state affects our minds. Joining us is Dr. Sula Windgassen, PhD MSc, a leading health psychologist specialising in women's gut, gynecological, and bladder health. With her expertise in chronic pain and persistent symptoms, Dr. Sula shares how evidence-based bio-psychosocial strategies can help us foster harmony between mind and body, reclaiming wellness from chronic stress and trauma.https://www.healthpsychologist.co.uk/IG: the_health_psychologist_ Hosted on Acast.

She has since graced our screens as a regular on Loose Women and This Morning and now leads her own podcast, White Wine Question Time, alongside her work as a radio broadcaster.But life took a dramatic turn when Kate entered perimenopause, a period she describes as feeling like she’d been completely “burgled.” Struggling with a whirlwind of physical and emotional symptoms, Kate faced a profound sense of losing her identity. Through the support of an incredible doctor and a network of friends, she’s emerged stronger and more passionate than ever about raising awareness of menopause. Now a dedicated advocate for menopause education, Kate is helping to spark crucial conversations on a topic often overlooked.We absolutely loved hearing Kate’s story and gained so much insight from her journey. We’re deeply grateful for her openness and hope you’ll find this episode as inspiring and enlightening as we did.Kate's podcast: White Wine Question TimeIG: @thekatethornton Hosted on Acast.
