Episode Details

From bad drunk to best self - Millie Mackintosh shares her powerful journey to sobriety, motherhood and true wellness

In this episode, Millie discusses her journey into sobriety, the reality of alcohol as a poison, how it negatively impacts mental health, relationships, motherhood and the eye-opening transformation that comes from choosing an alcohol free, empowered life.

Millie shares her raw and honest journey, from being a "bad drunk" and feeling trapped in toxic cycles to breaking free, becoming a more present mother and redefining wellness on her own terms. We explore the emotional and systemic pressures that push mothers towards drinking as a coping mechanism, questioning whether the rise of ‘wine mom culture’ is masking the deeper struggles of modern motherhood.

This conversation isn’t just about quitting alcohol, it’s about choosing yourself. It’s about the powerful wellness tools and daily habits that have been life-changing: meditation, movement, sauna, dancing, breath work and even giving up coffee to truly reclaim energy and balance.

If you’ve ever wondered if alcohol is holding you back from living your fullest, healthiest and most aligned life - this episode is for you. It’s time to ditch the poison!
