S3 Ep110: Sarah Turner: The Unmumsy Mum

In this episode we speak to author Sarah Turner, who's also known as The Unmumsy Mum! We've been following Sarah for a while - not because she was sober, but just because we were fans! Then we spotted on her socials that she'd started listening to a new podcast... And it just happened to be Over The Influence! We were delighted to hear that Sarah was rethinking her drinking and talking about it publicly to her thousands upon thousands of followers. In this conversation we chat to Sarah about how she wasn't drinking a huge amount of alcohol every week, but how it was too much for her. She was a binge drinker, and talks about how she used alcohol to connect with a former version of herself - and how that identity doesn't fit with where she is in her life today.
