Alice's drinking got out of control growing up in Tasmania, drinking to numb complicated feelings associated with being gay in an environment in which it was still illegal to be gay at the time and so she kept her identity hidden from everyone around her.  After bravely going to rehab more than 20 times desperate to find a way out of the destructive drinking cycle she was in, Alice was finally able to stop drinking after reading Annie Grace’s This Naked Mind, doing several of Annie’s alcohol programs and pursing the transformational effects of cold-water exposure and Wim Hoff’s breathing techniques. It stuck. Alice then decided to support others struggling with alcohol and stress to access this method too. She founded Wild Wellness in Tasmania which offers a range of transformational retreats designed to help people escape, heal and reset in the magnificent wilderness of Tasmania via ocean plunges, practitioner-led fireside sessions, journaling and guided breathwork. Alice’s story is inspirational and empowering. She tells her story with openness and honesty together with plenty of belly laughs along the way.

Drink: The Intimate Relationship between Women and Alcohol celebrates 10 years today! Tune in as we talk to the author, Ann Dowsett Johnston [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAANnoi0B5pmXf20AimVu06olBXNUfxK6xHE], award-winning journalist, TEDx Speaker and Founder of the Writing Your Recovery Workshops about women’s relationship with alcohol 10 years on. Is alcohol still the modern women’s steroid that helps us do the heavy lifting?  It was a brave act to speak out in the way Ann did 10 years ago. At the time, Ann became the modern face of alcoholism. “What I wanted to do with my book was to blow the doors wide open and say if I can have an alcohol issue, as Vice Principal of a University, anyone can” says Ann. It’s true. Drink gave permission for women to say “this is happening to me and my family as well”. For that, so many of us will forever be grateful to Ann. Drink was and is a revolutionary book ahead of its time, interweaving Ann’s personal alcohol story with crucial research and interviews about the startling rise of risky drinking among women. Drink was named one of the 10 best books of 2013 by the Washington Post.  Ann is now a psychotherapist helping other women to recover, a speaker and founder of the Writing Your Recovery Workshops, open to women internationally.  Tune in to this conversation to hear about what life is like 15 year’s sober and Ann’s views on women’s relationship with alcohol today.  Ann's Website: https://www.anndowsettjohnston.com Writing Your Recovery Workshops: https://www.anndowsettjohnston.com/workshops Ann's TEDx Talk on Drinking and How it Changed My Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqtZjpI1oVQ MEG Web: https://www.meganwebb.com.au/ [https://www.meganwebb.com.au/] Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/meganwebbcoaching/ [https://www.instagram.com/meganwebbcoaching/] Unwined Bookclub: https://www.alcoholfreedom.com.au/unwinedbookclub [https://www.alcoholfreedom.com.au/unwinedbookclub] ConnectAF group coaching: https://www.elizaparkinson.com/groupcoaching [https://www.elizaparkinson.com/groupcoaching] BELLA Web: https://isabellaferguson.com.au [https://isabellaferguson.com.au/] Insta: @alcoholcounsellorisabella Bi-Yearly 6-Week Small Group Challenges: Learn more: https://www.isabellaferguson.com.au/feb-2025-challenge [https://www.isabellaferguson.com.au/feb-2025-challenge] Free Do I Have A Drinking Problem 3 x Video Series: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/JTFFgjJL/checkout [https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/JTFFgjJL/checkout] Free HOW DO I STOP DRINKING SO MUCH Masterclass: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/7fvkb3FF/checkout [https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/7fvkb3FF/checkout] Online Alcohol Self-Paced Course: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/fDzcyvWL/checkout [https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/fDzcyvWL/checkout]...
