The Glitter Revival Podcast
Come along in my sobriety journey where I unpack all of the good, bad and ugly moments of getting and remaining sober. From a marriage breakdown, life changing circumstances and a shitty existence to getting my glitter back.
Life is lived forward and understood backwards, and hopefully my experiences can lift others up. With a mix of humour, spirituality, hard work and dedication, we do get our glitter back.

This is a very strong and visceral guided meditation to really be done with the past that is haunting you.
As the name suggests, it includes the imagery of fire, so if you find that triggering, please be warned or skip this.
I will create softer guided mediations in the future.
I hope this works for you..
I hope you can burn all of the necessary elements from your past to walk into your glittering future of possibilities

Some chapters don’t close quietly.
They burn.
In this eclipse-themed episode, we explore the psychology of letting go — why identity shifts feel terrifying, why we cling to old pain, and why transformation requires grief.
This is about:
• Releasing shame from your drinking years
• Letting relationships truly end
• Shedding the “fun but self-destructive” persona
• Stepping into calm without sabotaging it
The episode is paired with a cinematic guided meditation, Rebirth Through Fire, designed to help you consciously release the old version of yourself and rise — clearer, steadier, and stronger.
Not everything you lose is a loss.
Some things are fuel.

Everyone’s addicted to something.
Alcohol, phones, food, work, validation, chaos — none of us are exempt.
This episode breaks down what addiction actually is, using neuroscience and behavioural research to show how the human brain is wired for reward, habit, and compulsion. We talk about why modern life makes addiction almost inevitable, how behavioural addictions like scrolling and overworking hijack the same systems as substances, and why addiction isn’t a moral failure — it’s biology.
Most importantly, we explore how to redirect addictive patterns into habits that actually serve you. No shame. No perfection. Just grounded, research-backed insight into how to make your addictions work for your life instead of against it.
Especially relevant if you’re sober — or questioning what you’re really hooked on.

Do you actually want things to stay the way they are — or are you just scared to change them?
In this episode, we get brutally honest about comfort, fear, and why “fine” is one of the most dangerous places to live. We unpack why sobriety and radical change feel terrifying, why staying the same quietly costs you everything, and how familiar pain keeps us stuck longer than it should.
This isn’t about blowing your life up.
It’s about telling yourself the truth.
Includes reflection questions and a companion journal worksheet to help you decide whether you’re choosing comfort… or choosing yourself.

Sobriety shouldn’t require an explanation, a backstory, or a personality transplant.
In this episode, we dismantle the idea that not drinking is extreme — and call out the real chaos we’ve normalised instead. This is about freedom, clarity, and choosing a life that doesn’t need numbing. No apologies. No justifications. Just the truth.

Dry January is almost over… so why does the idea of drinking again feel a bit off?
In this episode, we talk about the uncomfortable truth no one mentions: if your life felt better without alcohol, starting again isn’t a reward — it’s a step backwards. We unpack why most people don’t miss alcohol itself, why the first drink back is usually disappointing, and what Dry January actually revealed about your sleep, mental health, and sense of self.
This isn’t about labels, rock bottoms, or “forever sobriety.” It’s about momentum, honesty, and the quiet fear of feeling your life clearly — without numbing it.
If you’ve accidentally enjoyed being sober and now don’t know what to do with that information, this episode is for you.
No pressure. No promises. Just one honest question:
Was “normal” really working for you?

Not all change is chosen. Some change arrives without warning and takes more than it gives — identities, relationships, bodies, coping mechanisms, and futures you thought were locked in.
This episode is for anyone living through severe, unwanted change. We talk honestly about grief that isn’t always recognised, the urge to numb or escape, the quiet terror of not knowing who you are anymore, and why this isn’t the season for fixing or reinventing yourself. Especially if you’re doing it sober.
No silver linings. No rushed healing.
Just grounded truth about how to stay with yourself when everything shifts.

If sobriety scares you, this episode will annoy you.
We dismantle the lie that alcohol equals fun and explain why sober people aren’t boring — they’re just done tolerating repetitive stories, fake confidence, and chemically assisted personalities.
This episode is honest, and absolutely not here to make drinkers feel comfortable. Sobriety didn’t ruin my life. It exposed how dull, repetitive, and emotionally stunted drinking culture actually is.
Let’s talk through early sobriety and socialising, and connecting with people we love in different ways.
Remember it won’t suck forever 😉

What if quitting drinking isn’t just a personal choice — but a radical act of rebellion?
In this episode, we unpack how alcohol has been sold to women as self-care while quietly keeping us tired, compliant, and disconnected from our power. Sobriety sharpens memory, strengthens boundaries, and restores self-trust — and that makes systems built on numbing very uncomfortable.
This isn’t about hating men.
It’s about dismantling the structures that benefit when we stay foggy.
Sobriety isn’t self-denial.
It’s self-possession.

How was 2025 for you?
Was it a shit show or dumpster fire?
Are you pleased with how your goals were accomplished? Did you have any goal?
In this episode I reflect on how the year went, why i want to leave in 2025 and what I want to grow and work for in 2026.
Remember that stopping drinking is only the beginning. What happens next? How do we really start to get our glitter back?
Anything is possible
