In this episode I look at the subject of hope and how to practically cultivate a hope practice.  "an optimistic mindset based on the expectation of positive outcomes.'' It's one of those tools that can be a bit overlooked,  easily mistaken for a lofty virtue or a whimsical fancy or naivety but  it is in fact a badass resilience tool. In this episode I am taking the chapter from our book Love Your Sober Year and delving into hope and actionable steps to cultivate hope and why it's such an important part of the sober toolkit. As I always say, mental health tools, are life tools, are sober tools. In the words of my first and most enduring girl crush, the wonderful Kate Bush in Cloudbusting, ' Oooooh... I just know that something good is gonna happen, and just saying it could even make it happen...' YEAH BABY. 'Love Your Sober Year' is a seasonal guide to sustainable alcohol free living. It starts in Spring so it's the perfect time to grab your copy and start or continue your holistic sober journey.  And a wee favour - If you liked the book please could you leave a review on Amazon? It really helps. Thanks so much x  So grab a cuppa and let's chat.  Love  Kate xxx
