Growing up in the era of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones, Kate Bee believed her drinking was simply what successful, independent women did. After all, she was a journalist and TV producer for the BBC - drinking after work was how people socialized. Except she was tired of feeling hungover and ashamed about what felt like more drinking than was healthy. When Kate decided to get sober, she was disappointed to find the only real support was through AA. She attended a few meetings, but left feeling like she didn’t fit in because she was getting sober before her drinking had negatively impacted her work or relationships. But, there was no middle ground - it seemed like you either didn’t have a real problem or you had to be a full-blown alcoholic to get help. That’s why Kate founded The Sober School, a coaching program that helps women feel inspired and empowered by their decision to quit drinking. She helps women who are ready to start living their best life learn how to do it without a glass of wine in hand. Kate comes on the show today to discuss her story, the challenges of approaching alcohol in our modern-day world, and how people can take inventory and take action on creating a healthier relationship with alcohol. And she's got some great solutions for people! Make sure you follow this link to check out her free “Wine O’Clock Survival Guide” ! It will help you navigate the tricky time of day between 5-8pm, which tends to be when people feel the most tempted to drink. Enjoy!

“There’s no place you can go to get a sex education. You can get a procreation education. You can get a contraception or abstinence education. But you can’t get a passionate super hot sex life education.” - Susan Bratton Susan Bratton is a champion and advocate for all who desire passionate relationships. Considered the “Dear Abby of Sex,” Susan’s fresh approach and original ideas have helped millions of people of all ages and across the gender spectrum transform sex into passion. Married to her husband Tim since 1993, Susan is an author, award-winning speaker, and serial entrepreneur who teaches passionate lovemaking techniques to her fans around the world. Susan’s straight-talking, fearless approach is rooted in her personal experience of watching her sex life wither while she and her husband pursued dynamic careers. When their relationship hit a crisis point, the couple made a fierce commitment to do whatever it took to keep their family together and revive the passion in their marriage. Today, she and her husband have the kind of dream relationship most people long-since stopped believing is even possible—until they discover Susan’s teachings. She comes on the show to dive into all things sexual vitality! Boy was this interview a doozy. We had a LOT of fun. I'll be honest, having conversations about sex sometimes can be very vulnerable. But the main question is why? Most likely because of historical shame and other emotions playing a role and because we don't often talk about sex! It's often seen as taboo! And specifically in the health world I believe there is not enough quality information and guidance on how to have a healthier and more fulfilled sex life. Hope you enjoy the show!
