This week on No More Booze, I’m chatting to hypnotherapist and CBT therapist Louisa Evans, @stepping_into_sobriety who’s nearly three and a half years sober and bringing all of her insight to the conversation.We talk about what alcohol *gave* her at the start escape, distraction, “a friend” and what it slowly took away: self-trust, health and peace. Louisa opens up about relationships and the moment she made sobriety non-negotiable.We also get into neurodivergence, emotional regulation and the real-life tools that helped her change everything.

Louisa is a therapist specialising in habit change and emotional regulation, she realised her reliance on wine at the end of the day was incongruent with what she taught clients. Following the many benefits she noticed in sobriety, she now loves working with others to help them create a fulfilling alcohol-free life they’re genuinely happy with. She supports others through one-to-one sessions, online courses and hypnotherapy. You can listen to her podcast, The Sober Rebel, her audiobook, Becoming a Sober Rebel, or head to her website for plenty of resources: www.louisaevans.com.

This week on No More Booze, I'm joined by Casey Davidson from Seattle, host of the brilliant Hello Someday podcast, as she celebrates 10 years alcohol free. Casey unpacks how red wine, motherhood, anxiety and high-achieving pressure kept her stuck in a bottle-a-night cycle and why moderation simply wasn’t an option for her. She shares the shame, the 3am wake-ups and what finally helped: support, coaching, community and learning to put boundaries in place. We talk sober curiosity, identity shifts and why a 100-day alcohol-free goal can change everything.

Featured on Good Morning America, NPR,HuffPost, The New York Times, NBC News and more, she helps high‑achieving women change their relationship with alcohol so they can drink less and live more.
