Vulnerability & Drinking: Getting Out of Your Own Way
Sobre este podcast
The Big Drink Rethink is a podcast for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol - whether you want to quit, drink less, take a break, or just explore the role alcohol plays in your life.
Hosted by Alcohol Mindset Coach and Author, Anna Donaghey, each episode blends lived experience, psychological insight, and powerful tools to help you create change - gently, intelligently, without pressure, and in a way that opens up your life.
Featuring expert guests, real stories, and practical strategies, this podcast offers a refreshingly smart, non-judgemental space to reflect, grow, and explore the life you want.
Because rethinking your drinking isn’t about missing out. It’s about tuning in.
It’s not about restriction - it’s about making space.
To feel clearer, live more fully, and ask one honest question:
What are you really thirsty for?
