Transcript
Hello darling heart and welcome to this episode of the Drink Less, Live Better podcast.
-:This is the podcast that helps you to see that drinking less doesn't need to be stressful, lonely, or boring.
-:I'm your host, Sarah Williamson, and I decided to have a year alcohol free as a little life experiment and haven't looked back.
-:I'm here to support you with your alcohol free or drink less adventures.
-:Follow me on Instagram at drink less, live better, and find resources on my website drinkless,livebetter.com. I hope you enjoy this episode. Let's get straight to it.
-:Today marks four years of the Drink Less, Live Better podcast. Four years. I cannot believe it.
-:When I put the first half a dozen episodes or so together, I thought, well, I wonder when I'll run out of things to talk about.'
-:Over 200 episodes in and I'm not done yet.
-:I'm really grateful to each of you who have listened, shared, commented and, most importantly, taken steps towards a changed relationship to alcohol for yourself.
-:This podcast began with a simple premise that we can examine our drinking habits honestly, make intentional changes and discover
-:the vibrant life waiting on the other side for us.
-:Over time, I've explored the science of alcohol's effects, strategies for cutting back, the psychology of habits, and most
-:powerful, my own personal journey of change.
-:The emotions, the feelings, the behaviors all tied together.
-:Looking back over 200 episodes, a few particularly stand out and that I'd like to mention today.
-:Episode number 37, it's still my favourite episode, the liminal space.
-:The most popular, Well, these are episodes one to 10. They're the most listened to.
-:I used to think people would just pick and mix the ones they wanted to listen to, but it seems people scroll way back and listen to the early episodes.
-:These are really instructional episodes, and if you haven't listened yet or if you haven't got your alcohol drinking to a
-:place where you'd like it to be, go back, listen again.
-:Episode number 20, Are you making this more complicated than it needs to be?
-:Is a super popular episode and so is episode 18, Why I drank when my children were small. It's an honest one.
-:Close behind that is episode 62: are you tired?
-:Because, well, of course we are, and people listen to that because they need and want reassurance.
-:Most of my listeners are in The UK, USA and Australia, but there are many scattered around the world.
-:Drink less, live better is now listened to in 96 countries. 96. Hello.
-:Hello, you beauties in Paraguay, Nepal, Kenya, Estonia, Cuba, Slovakia, and The Maldives.
-:Most downloads ever in a month happened in June 2022, and the largest number of Ulink listeners was in January 2024.
-:You listen on Apple, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, and YouTube, as well as a bunch of other platforms.
-:I say all this out loud, and I think, it's wild. Who are you? Are you really there? Are you actually listening? I know you are. Here are the stats.
-:I mean, I do know who some of you are.
-:Clients, past clients, people who I cross paths with on the internet, people who've bought my book, people who've seen me
-:speak at festivals or well-being events, and I guess some of you are my future clients, collaborators or friends.
-:Drinking less creates space for more, more clarity, more authentic connections and more energy for the things that truly matter, living better.
-:Some of you have chosen complete sobriety, others practice mindful drinking and many are still figuring out what works best for your unique life.
-:Wherever you are on that spectrum, you belong here. You are welcome.
-:Looking ahead, I'm excited to bring you more more insights, more wisdom, more practical strategies.
