Sobriety & Self-Discovery: Victoria Vanstone On The Freedom To Feel

In this honest and disarming conversation, Victoria Vanstone shares the turning point that led her to sobriety after a lifetime of normalised drinking. We dive into the cultural conditioning that made excess feel ordinary, her crossroad moment as a mother, and the surprising freedom she found in choosing a sober life. Victoria opens up about the discomfort of not always feeling at home in her own skin—and how quitting alcohol helped her reconnect with her creativity, purpose, and inner strength. Now the author of A Thousand Wasted Sundays and Mummying, Victoria brings humour and heart to the messy middle of transformation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol or looking for a reminder that clarity and creativity often come when we stop numbing and start feeling.
