It was almost like a theatre. And there were these steps that one had to move through. And it was like belonging to a club.
Workplace drinking is more common than you might think, and this episode of Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life! dives into just that. Host Janet Gorond leads a candid discussion with three inspiring women who have seen the effects of alcohol in corporate environments first-hand. Isabella Ferguson, Kathryn, and Nikki share their personal stories and professional insights on how workplace culture often encourages drinking and the toll it takes on mental health, productivity, and overall well-being.
Isabella, a former litigation lawyer turned counsellor, specialises in stress, burnout, and alcohol recovery. She shares her journey from high-stress environments to helping others manage their own struggles. Kathryn, once a PR and media professional, now coaches high-performing individuals grappling with alcohol issues. Her transition from a booze-filled career to sobriety offers hope and practical advice. Nikki, who worked in corporate London, now uses mindfulness in her coaching to tackle alcohol addiction.
The episode is rich with anecdotes that highlight the normalisation of excessive drinking in professional settings. From mid-morning energy slumps to the sandwich man’s hangover cures, these stories paint a vivid picture of how ingrained drinking can be in the workplace. The trio also discusses initiatives like the 30-day workplace wellness challenge, which aims to raise awareness about alcohol’s impact at work and promote healthier habits. Why should you listen?
If you’re struggling with your relationship with alcohol or know someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and a sense of community. It’s a reminder that you’re not alone and that positive change is possible. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and get ready to feel inspired and supported by these incredible women.
