Sober Curious Booze, Burnout, and Mental Health, with Rachael Welford
The first episode of Season 2 is an interview with Rachael Welford of Welford Wellbeing, a British healer and energy worker who's only dream as a kid was "to be a raver when I grew up." Rachael shares her story of gravitating towards a work-hard-play-hard lifestyle as a way of medicating underlying mental health issues, and the breakdown that eventually led to her getting "sober curious" and quitting drinking for good.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
What people mean when they say they don't "trust" non-drinkers
-
Why drinking is so normalized in our culture
-
"Burnout" as a sign that an underlying mental health issue needs to be addressed
-
Why it is time to de-stigmatize depression
-
Healing from trauma and thriving in recovery
-
How to create healthy new habits that support our mental and emotional wellbeing
