What alcohol does to us? Are you a grey area drinker? Summary: Today, we’re diving into a topic that resonates with many of us: re-evaluating your relationship with alcohol and the benefits of taking a step back to reflect. Joining us for this insightful conversation are two fantastic guests: Lucy Hemming is a qualified Sober Club Coach with a background in advertising and marketing.
