S3 Ep85: Mandy Manners: Love Sober
In this episode we chat to the fabulous Mandy Manners who, if you're a keen podcast listener, you'll know from the brilliant Love Sober podcast! As well as being a podcaster, Mandy is also a coach and an author - and she's over five years sober. She talks to us about her journey and is very honest about the deeper work she's done to understand why she drank alcohol in the first place. She also reveals some of the tips and tricks she uses with her coaching clients - and one in particular will have you colour coding everyone you meet! Mandy has just released her second book, Love Your Sober Year, which she co-wrote with Kate Bailey (who's six years AF and someone we hope to meet on the podcast very soon). Mandy tells us about the thought process behind the book - it's all about sustainable sobriety, and as the different seasons bring different feelings, different emotions and different triggers, this book will guide you through the year to get the most out of being alcohol-free. --- Get In Touch: Of course, you can always get in touch with us (publicly or privately) on our socials - @alcoholfreepod on Instagram, or search for "Over The Influence" on Facebook.
