Ever wondered if those headlines about alcohol being good for your heart are too good to be true? In this episode, Janey Lee Grace takes a deep dive into the so-called 'inconvenient truth' about alcohol. She’s got a lot to share, starting with her excitement about being invited to speak at Russell Brand's Community Festival. Imagine rubbing shoulders with the likes of Wim Hoff and Dr. Vandanna Shiva while exploring the world of sobriety!
Janey’s set to talk about being 'Sober Curious' and how to build a life you don’t need to escape from, all happening on the Recover Stage. But that's not all. Janey also discusses the ongoing debate between traditional AA followers and the 'sober curious' crowd. She brings in insights from Emily Horwood, one of her Sober Coaches, who has had a positive experience with AA.
This episode isn’t just about events and debates; it’s also a reality check on recent news stories that suggest alcohol might be beneficial for heart health. Janey critiques these claims and shares her thoughts on high-profile antics like Boris Johnson's 'wine time Fridays'. She’s urging listeners to question long-held beliefs about alcohol, especially during holidays and celebrations. Plus, there’s a special announcement: to celebrate the 250th episode of the podcast, there will be a meet-up and live recording in London.
So, if you’re looking for a fresh perspective on sobriety and some practical advice, this episode is a must-listen.
