Coming from a successful famous family sounds like it could be the perfect life, but for Scott Thomas, it exposed him to a world of temptation; as a club promoter and regular attendee at glitzy product launches as a PR company owner in his home town of Manchester. This explosive episode lifts the lid on the complexities of fame, identity, and the way public life's pressures can shape - and sometimes distort - one's future. Hear how Scott, best known for his time on reality TV show Love Island, publicly trod the path to sobriety, and how his personal battle with compulsive behaviours played out in the papers, rather than behind closed doors. Ruari and Scott also discuss living with an ADHD diagnosis and the clarity that it can bring to your life at a time when you're learning how to manage compulsive behaviours. Opening up about how community continues to play a critical role in his sobriety, Scott offers some strategies and support for those facing similar hurdles. Scott's story is full of empowerment, and charts a journey in which alcohol became denormalized, breaking free from the grasp it had on his daily life.

In this deeply honest episode, Jen is joined by OYNB member Susie to discuss her shift from overindulgence to finding inner peace. Three years ago, after many summers filled with excessive alcohol consumption leading to a strain on her marriage and wider relationships, and with the social hangover outlasting the warm weather, Susie decided it was time to finally change her relationship with alcohol. After finding OYNB through social media, Susie embarked on an 8 week Complete Control challenge, finding her tribe with the other participants who were in a similar situation, by taking full advantage of the community that the program provided. Reflecting on her experience, Susie explains how important the role of daily routines are in sustaining a healthier lifestyle, how she rediscovered who she was by admitting her imperfections and how therapy brought about profound changes in all her relationships. As her coach, Jen celebrates the successful transformation that Susie has undergone, describing her as “a powerhouse”. For anyone looking to make a positive change to their behaviours, Susie’s story is truly inspirational. This episode dismantles the misconceptions surrounding sobriety, and instead celebrates the clarity and care that come from making healthier choices.

Join the ranks of those who dare to live a life of discipline and purpose, as we sit down with the indomitable Joe De Sena. Get ready to be challenged and inspired by Joe’s relentless pursuit of resilience, where actions speak louder than words. Hear tales of early morning workouts where a true test of character is part of the daily grind. Joe’s "nobody cares, work harder" mantra isn’t just a catchphrase; it’s a call to arms to anyone who is looking to inspire change and lead by a powerful example. But the path to success isn’t paved with protein shake; it’s full of trials and the occasional stumble. In this motivational episode, we break down the notion that young people should be shielded from adversity. Instead, we explore the benefits of letting them experience the rich lessons that come from pushing past our comfort zones. With Joe’s insight and Ruari’s own parenting journey, we discuss the benefits that instilling grit and a strong work ethic from an early age can have. We also hear about how life changing taking part in a Spartan race can be. These races are more than just physical challenges; they’re transformative opportunities that allow participants to take greater control over their life choices, including the decision to say ‘no’ to alcohol. Joe is a huge tour de force; so for those on a new year health kick, or having already taken steps towards taking control over compulsive behaviours, this episode is the motivation YOU need.

Happy New Year! Today is the first day of 2024, and there is resolution in the air. We often find ourselves in a societal loop - normalising alcohol, the very substance that dims our sparkle, only to seek remedies for the gloom it brings.

But unlike “Dry January”, it isn’t about cutting back on drinking for a limited time; it’s an invitation to envision a life where clarity, focus, and relationships flourish. We invite you to imagine your future, the personal growth you see for yourself, and to be honest about the very real (and mostly hidden) costs that alcohol has on your life. Behind all of this is the neuroscience powering compulsive behaviours. Learn about strategies to manage stress and prevent it from derailing your ambitions for the year ahead. And explore how mindfulness techniques like breathwork can lead to overcoming habits and living a life filled with more personal wins and self love.
