The Sober Rebel

Louisa Evans

Some people think that being sober is boring, they may even think that if you have to go alcohol free you've somehow drawn the short straw in life.

But what if it isn't anything like that? What if it's the best thing you could ever do to level up your relationships, your mental and physical health or even your life?

In this podcast Louisa talks to her fabulous sober guests about the joys of the sober life, the fun things they’ve noticed and the amazing things they’ve tried or done since ditching the booze that they’d never have done as a drinker.

These aren’t stories about how people got sober… they’re stories about why they enjoy staying sober.

Laura on Clarity, Self Compassion and Energy
This is an important conversation about what happens after the initial flush of sobriety. What happens if quitting alcohol unearths other things to address? The cover image sums up Laura perfectly. She’s vibrant, funny and full of life but after the 100 day milestone she was struggling. Having gone sober in the past she knew that this was the point she often returned to drinking telling herself that “I feel rubbish so what’s the point?”. This time though she got help. She was supported to dig deeper and to addresses the underlying issue. Now she’s back to her wonderfully bubbly self and her sobriety is stronger as a result. Sometimes drinking masks things that need to be dealt with. For a FREE GUIDE to help you through the first few weeks of sobriety, head to www.louisaevans.com.

She specialises in helping people change their relationship with alcohol in a grounded and realistic way, using a blend of cognitive behavioural approaches, emotional regulation, habit science and nervous system understanding. Her work focuses on grey area drinking, midlife identity shifts, and supporting people who want sobriety to feel steadier, clearer and more sustainable. For listeners who want extra support during this month and beyond, Louisa’s course Sober Resilience is available with a thirty percent discount throughout the series using the code DRYJAN26. The course includes practical tools for cravings, emotional steadiness, behavioural patterns, routines and the predictable identity wobble that often appears in early sobriety. Louisa is known for her direct, psychology-led approach and her ability to make sobriety feel accessible rather than overwhelming. Her work is centred on clarity, honesty and understanding the patterns underneath drinking, rather than relying on force or perfectionism.
