Could alcohol be quietly holding you back in life or business?
In this powerful and honest season finale, I chat with the incredible Kirsty from Sky Rose Coaching, who is also the founder of Sober Buzz CIC, a not-for-profit community supporting sober and sober curious people across the UK.
Kirsty shares her real and deeply personal story of hitting rock bottom with alcohol at 41, the moment she knew things had to change, and what life looks like now after over seven years sober.
This conversation covers serious topics with warmth, humour, and lots of practical takeaways for small business owners who feel like something is off with their drinking but can’t quite put their finger on it.
We talk about:
- Kirsty's journey from high-stress corporate job and heavy drinking to life as a sober coach and founder
- How alcohol can sneakily affect your energy, sleep, decision making, and confidence
- The toxic rise of “mummy needs a wine” culture and how to break free from it
- What to say in social situations when you’re not drinking (without awkwardness)
- How to cope with stress or overwhelm without pouring a drink
- Tips for business owners who want to be more present, more productive, and feel proud of how they show up
You’ll also hear:
- Why Kirsty believes taking a break from alcohol (even for a weekend) can be life changing
- How she built a thriving business and support network around her sobriety
- The small changes you can try today if you're sober curious
This is not a lecture. It’s a warm and practical chat about what’s possible when you step away from something that’s not serving you.
