Season 8 Episode 5 with Jane Sproston
Welcome to season 8 Episode 5 of The Sober Experiment Podcast by Bee Sober where Alex and Lisa chat with Bee Sober Book Club ambassador and sober coach, Jane Sproston. Jane is a 52 year-old Mum of a 7 year old pocket rocket and got sober in 2017 after five years of trying and a long stint “moderating”. Jane previously had a drinking career of some 30 plus years. She survived student days, raving, and the ladette culture only to find herself using alcohol to cope and numb after lots of complicated trauma. Jane’s journey has been full of highs, lows, twists and turns, including a period spent in The Priory, AA, an attempt at moderation, relapse and recovery. Jane is now a qualified person-centred therapist (a journey which took 9 years instead of the usual 4) and a qualified sober coach and also volunteers as a counsellor for a Well woman’s centre. Jane talks about her road to recovery, and how finding Bee Sober and becoming the book club ambassador finally helped her to find the connections she’d been missing.

Season 8 Episode 2 with Vicki Rebecca
Welcome to season 8 Episode 2 of The Sober Experiment Podcast by Bee Sober where Alex and Lisa chat with Vicki Rebecca. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses rape in significant detail Vicki Rebecca has run a successful private Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming practice that includes one to one therapy, both in-person and online, classes, retreats, live-in intensives, books and products since 1999. Since 2003 that practice has included retreats all over the world including Egypt, India, Turkey, the sacred sites of Scotland and more. She wrote her first book: ‘The Me I Want To Be: Simple Shifts To Authentic Wellbeing’ initially for the clients and students she’d worked with for over twenty years. It was also a way of pulling all her knowledge together, but most of all she wrote it for those who could not manage to go along to sessions or classes because of cost or distance. It had always been a source of frustration to Vicki that she could not help them too. To make her work accessible to a larger audience she wrote the book and recorded over ten hours of instruction and guided journeys to accompany it. In response to “The Me I Want To Be” when she has opened up during public talks, informal chats, and most especially her own realisation that a huge part of her sadhana IS to share her story, Vicky has now written her autobiography, no holds barred: “Naked Truth: Diary of a Glamour Model” is a time document ranging from 1956 to today. The true story of a young runaway who made her way through the seedy photo booths of Soho of the 1970s into a career as a page three girl and Monroe lookalike. A broken heart left her fluctuating between stardom, drugs and despair and when she hit rock bottom a spiritual experience changed her life. Vicki Rebecca has certainly lived!

Welcome to season 7 of The Sober Experiment Podcast by Bee Sober where Alex and Lisa chat with Kate-Rowe Ham who is a Women’s Health Coach with a special interest in menopause fitness and nutrition. Kate is also the founder of the Owning Your Menopause App. She is passionate about educating women on how to exercise at this time and how movement and diet go hand in hand in playing a fundamental role in managing many of the symptoms associated with menopause. Qualifying as a level 3 Personal Trainer later in life, alongside raising her three children and experiencing her own issues with peri menopause has given Kate a unique insight into how midlife women's needs often fall by the wayside. Kate knows first-hand how hard it can be to regain body confidence especially after children and how many of the symptoms of menopause can leave women feeling overwhelmed, invisible, and anxious. As a trusted expert in her field, Kate has become the ‘go-to’ Personal Trainer known for her specialised approach in making sure women are getting the correct evidence-based information on how to train effectively and nourish their bodies through menopause. She believes that so many women miss out on optimising their midlife and menopause experience due to not understanding how to adapt their lifestyle during this phase.
