About this listen

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.

    Welcome back to Louisa’s January Series. After the success of the 2024 series, she wanted to return with something deeper, more practical and more psychology-led for 2026.

    Let's talk about that strange and slightly awkward transition from hiding yourself away in early sobriety to keep yourself safe, to then re-entering the world of socialising sober. Not everyone goes through this but it's pretty common to feel a bit out of sorts. It does get easier.

    Louisa Evans is a psychology-based practitioner, clinical hypnotherapist and the host of the Sober Rebel podcast. 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, 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. All of Louisa’s work, including her therapy practice and additional resources, can be found at www.louisaevans.com.

    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.

    Welcome back to Louisa’s January Series. After the success of the 2024 series, she wanted to return with something deeper, more practical and more psychology-led for 2026.

    Today the focus is on other people's reflections on their sobriety, including the many guests on the regular Sober Rebel podcast and those amazing women who took part in Louisa's MSc Psychology interviews for her dissertation on Alcohol, Sobriety and Menopause.

There are so many sobriety podcasts now, which is amazing and I love that thay all have their own uniqueness. Louisas podcast is organised, professional and structured and I love how easy it is to listen too. Great idea to have it directed around 3 benefits of sobriety. I've listened to 5 episodes so far and I'm looking forward to making my way through them all, listening to people's success stories is still a big tool for me 15 months into my own sobriety journey, the ups and downs of figuring it all out and hearing others who have felt the same reminds us that in the darkest days, we are not alone. Others have been through it and come out the other side stronger. Thanks for all your hard work Louisa.
