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.

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.

Following last week’s insightful episode with Kate Thornton on her perimenopause journey, we’re bringing in an expert to shed light on what to expect during this transformative phase of life.

Dr. Sohère Roked is one of a kind. Known for her expertise, warmth, and empathy, she’s a leader in the field of integrative medicine, offering a holistic approach to health and wellness.

Dr. Sohère has a rich medical background, having worked in the NHS since 2003 across A&E, women’s health, otolaryngology, psychiatry, and as a GP. While her NHS work was rewarding, she recognised the need to support patients more comprehensively. Today, she blends conventional medical practice with holistic care, focusing on hormone balance and integrative medicine—a practice that considers emotional, spiritual, environmental, social, nutritional, and psychological factors for overall well-being.
