Hello darling heart, and welcome to 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.

-:With my experience and training, I now help other people with their drink less or alcohol free adventures.
-:You can find out more and sign up to my 5 day drink less challenge at drinklesslivebetter.com.
-:I'm here to tell you that you can relax, connect, and have fun without alcohol in your life.
-:Join me here each week to find out how. Full disclosure for you today.
-:Last week's podcast episode number 127 was called be Unbusy.
-:I think I recorded it on Tuesday or Wednesday and loaded it ready onto my platform for it to be published at 9 AM UK on Thursday.
-:By the time lunchtime on Thursday rolled around, I was truly, truly busy and furious with myself.
-:I I just released a podcast episode about being unbusy. I was multitasking.
-:I was scheduling things into my diary months in advance.
-:I was not focusing or enjoying the moment.
-:I had not taken any time off last week.
-:I was really beginning to feel the guilt about the way that my diary looked.
-:I was saying yes to things I didn't necessarily want to do. I was feeling tired.
-:All of the things I had just released a podcast episode about, suggesting to people that they might not be helping.
-:I had 1 to 1 coaching sessions, a trip to London.
-:I had more work on Friday than I could really fit into my day, An unexpected trip to hospital with my son.
-:And then at the weekend, I had a long distance walk with friends to do. I loved it.
-:I really enjoyed every moment of it, but I was already physically knackered.
-:This week so far has included another trip to London, more coaching sessions, an in person event, another unexpected trip to hospital. This time, it was mister w.
-:He got stung by a bee in the back of his throat yesterday. That took a lot of time.
-:I've been doing a training course online.
-:This is the voice note that I left for a friend on Thursday last week.
-:I was about to type this out and then thought, okay.
-:It's just easier to leave a quick voice note.
-:I would like, it noted that today I have done the most ironic thing I think I've ever done in my life.
-:My podcast episode today is called something like the Unbusy or Busyness or Screw You and Your Busy Lifestyle or something to that effect.
-:And I have, at no point in that podcast, proclaimed anything about being the expert of being brilliant at not being busy. But well, I have really
-:today and tomorrow, and I've got to get a handle on this.
-:It is ironic to put a podcast out about Don't Be Busy and then be too goddamn just noting this here with you.
-:You can remind me of it, at any point in my future that you like. Thanks very much. Hope you have a lovely day.
-:Well, now we know I can edit swears out of audio files.
-:That's a new skill I didn't know I was going to have to learn this week. So what's gonna be different?
-:Next week, I've taken 2 days off, and I have flipped forward in my diary and future proofed it for unbusyness.
-:I want you to know that I am perfectly imperfect.
-:I am totally human, a work in progress, and, therefore, it is very easy for me to put out a podcast episode exclaiming, be unbusy.
-:It is the way forward, and yet busy myself up to my eyeballs to the point at which I have to retract everything I said in
-:the unbusy podcast episode and say, take a deep breath. Look around you.
-:Recognize the things that we can do differently, accept that some of the things will always be a work in progress.
-:Thank you so much for listening in this week.
-:Check out the show notes on this or any other episode and you'll find details about the hidden episode to help you with your 5 pm cravings.
-:You'll also be able to read about my one to one coaching programme. Please come back again next week. And, PS, I believe in you.
