Hear 80% Awesome co-founder Rachel Picken talk to empowerment coach Polly Jukes about one of the Coronavirus taboos - why do people appear to be drinking so much? Alcohol sales are said to have gone up 30% in the UK and 55% in the US since Coronavirus crisis took hold. Since the pandemic, the public and social media narrative has been big on alcohol - be it the holiday feeling of good weather, the stress of managing life under lockdown, or simply because of boredom and/or a way to signal day into evening. Polly is open and honest about her own journey to live alcohol free, which she began two years ago. Rachel also shares some of her own experiences exploring the Sobersphere, alcohol free (AF) community and quit-lit. About Polly Jukes: "I help newly Alcohol-Free women eliminate shame and guilt to discover their authentic self so that they can learn to take control of their life and start being who they want to be. Gaining clarity, freedom and peace. "Unlike others focusing on the past, my clients tell me their results are lasting, fulfilling and life changing from creating an enriched future they actually want to be fully present and with purpose." https://www.pollyjukes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mindbodyconnects/ http://Www.instagram.com/polly_jukescoach http://linkedin.com/in/pollyjukes About 80% Awesome 80% Awesome website: https://80percentawesome.co.uk The Facebook Group RP's Instagram Alcohol Free support One Year No Beer (OYNB) www.oneyearnobeer.com Cancer Research Dryathlon: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/get-involved/do-your-own-fundraising/dryathlon Great reads: The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober by Catherine Gray The Sober Diaries by Clare Pooley Stay Awesome!
