Alcohol-Free Living, Anxiety & Rethinking Social Life with Sophie Rose-Arnold

Über diese Folge

<p>Today we’re joined by a guest who is opening up a conversation that so many of us are quietly having - but rarely saying out loud. Sophie Rose-Arnold is an alcohol-free advocate who shares a refreshingly honest perspective on what it really looks like to step away from drinking - especially as a woman navigating motherhood, friendships, and everyday life.</p><p>After nearly two decades of drinking, Sophie made the decision to stop completely - not because she hit a rock bottom, but because alcohol simply stopped working for her. What followed was a journey of unlearning, rebuilding, and redefining what fun, connection, and relaxation actually look like.</p><p>In this conversation, we talk about the culture around alcohol - from binge drinking in our 20s to the pressure to keep drinking as adults, especially in social settings. We unpack the anxiety, the sleep disruption, the “just one drink” cycle,  how motherhood changes everything and why so many women are quietly rethinking their relationship with alcohol.</p><p>We also talk honestly about what makes it hard to stop - the social pressure, the identity shift, and the fear of being seen as “boring” and what changes when you do.</p><p>This is not about labels or extremes. It’s about awareness, choice, and understanding what actually makes you feel good.</p><p>If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your relationship with alcohol even quietly, this episode will resonate.</p><p><br/></p><p>Find Sophie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/af.sophierose/<br/><br/></p><p>Find us on instagram: @wearemothertongue</p><p>Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mothertonguethepodcast</p><p><br/></p><p><b>THE MOTHER TONGUE PODBOOK</b></p><p>The Mother Tongue podbook is a collection of interviews with experts on everything you need to know about parenthood from pre-conception all the way through to when your kids starts school.
