In this episode of Monkey Business, I am thrilled to be joined by Janey Lee Grace: top BBC UK radio presenter also on UK Health Radio. Her Alcohol-Free podcast and Sober Club community is changing the face of sobriety as something that is accessible for all - from the sober curious to those who have tried and failed to kick their addictions before.
Talking on the day after publication of her new book Happy Healthy Sober we discuss her five holistic health books and how her first book – Imperfectly Natural Woman – published 15 years ago knocked the Da Vinci code off the bestsellers list in the most unexpected of ways.
Janey also shares how she trailblazed holistic health hacks at a time when it was not seen as mainstream
Plus:
- how she helps others to do and be the best they can be as that is the rule for herself
- that all health changes and improvements have to be realistic, affordable and easy and this dictates all the advice and expertise she shares
- how from a different background – with no safety net or prior experience - she went into a world of leading Pop and broadcasting in London in the 80s
- that intentional parenting includes not delivering everything on a plate for your kids
- a redefinition of ‘normal drinking’ led to the admission that ‘grey area drinking’ and the control of the ‘Wine Witch’ (that addictive voice in your head) can be broken
- being sober is not boring or sad or makes you miss out and be less confident or attractive
- that doing a TEDX talk is terrifying – even to a seasoned broadcaster
- tips to smash the IMPOSTER SYNDROM
- creating congruency and authenticity when you are a voice in the world of health and wellbeing is better for you, your soul and everyone around you
- how to feel the fear and do it and not have a ‘vulnerability hangover’ about it the one question she would not want anyone to ask
