Podcast appearances and mentions of faye lawrence

Ever wondered how ADHD manifests differently in children and adults, or between males and females? In our latest episode, we promise to provide those answers and more with the help of our returning guest, Faye Lawrence. Now a specialized coaching therapist, Faye shares her journey of being diagnosed with ADHD in 2022 and offers a unique perspective on understanding the three types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive, and combined. Get ready to uncover the high heritability of ADHD and its intersections with other neurodiverse conditions like autism and OCD.The journey to an ADHD diagnosis is often fraught with challenges, from navigating referrals to battling the shortage of specialists. We'll discuss these hurdles in depth and explore the complex relationship between ADHD and self-medication. Faye sheds light on how neurotransmitter deficiencies drive individuals to seek external stimuli, often leading to self-medication behaviors tied to feelings of low self-esteem and failure. Our conversation also tackles the potential for overdiagnosis and the varied experiences people face when seeking a diagnosis.Awareness of neurodiversity is slowly reshaping societal structures, but there's still much to be done. Traditional work environments can be especially tough for those with ADHD and similar conditions. We advocate for more inclusive settings, referencing Tom Hartman's hunter-gatherer theory to highlight how modern environments may not suit neurodiverse individuals. Faye shares practical advice for managing ADHD's everyday challenges, from sensory sensitivities to the hidden toll on high-performing individuals. Tune in for an enlightening discussion on ADHD and addiction, ending with a message of understanding and compassion that aims to shift perceptions and promote a more inclusive society.Faye's website: www.fayelawrence.com.auFaye's blog: https://www.fayelawrence.com.au/blog/i-think-i-have-adhdOther info on ADHD: https://allbrainsbelong.org/all-the-things/https://neurodivergentinsights.com/blog/autism-and-health-issues MEGMegan Webb: https://glassfulfilled.com.auInstagram: @glassfulfilledUnwined Bookclub: https://www.alcoholfreedom.com.au/unwinedbookclubSober Socialising workshop at Seadrift Distillery: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/confident-and-cozy-alcohol-free-socialising-for-winter-tickets-934198341387?aff=oddtdtcreator BELLAIsabella Ferguson: https://isabellaferguson.com.auInstagram: @alcoholandstresswithisabellaFree 5-Day DO I HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM?

Happy Olympics everyone! Despite knowing basically nothing about *actual* sport, we dive into some of our fave moments from the games so far. We also delve head first into the article that EVERYONE has been talking about this week - The Times piece about the influencer Ballerina Farm. Has this rightfully reignited the tradwife debate - or should we just leave her alone to raise her kids and milk her cows? We also want to know if you were at the open air screening of Mamma Mia that got cancelled in London last week - is recommendation culture ruining our experiences or is it just an effect of the economic crisis?

Wake up babe, new nonsense body insecurity just dropped! This week on Everything Is Content, we're discussing the term ‘septum arms' which was generated by the TikTok algorithm... what does this tell us about the speed of the trend cycle, and should we be concerned about the gen pop's level of internet literacy? And, of course - we're discussing the Kamala Harris x brat meme cycle… should we be pleased that politicians are trying to engage younger voters or is this distracting us from talking about actual policies? We also talk about Reem - Sheerluxe's new ‘AI-enhanced' team member… we have THOUGHTS. A lot of them. Give us a lil follow on Instagram or drop us a message if you have something you need to hear us chat about, or if you have opinions on anything you've heard us talk about today.

Join Beth, Ruchira and Oenone in conversation with the brilliant journalist, podcaster and author Olivia Petter. Olivia's debut novel Gold Rush is out now - it's a story about consent, celebrity culture and trying to work out where women fit in a world that constantly devalues and disrespects their bodies... sounds right up our street, eh?!We all loved the book and in this conversation we get stuck into our burning questions for Olivia - but don't worry, the conversation is spoiler-free if you haven't finished the book yet.

In celebration of Pride Month - this week on Everything Is Content, we're doing a deep dive into a topic that is very close to our hearts - bisexuality in pop culture.

Today, Oenone is in conversation with actress, playwright and activist Danai Gurira. Danai plays the beloved character Michonne in one of our favourite shows - The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is back with a new spinoff series - The Ones Who Live - which sees Michonne reunite with her husband Rick after they were separated in a post-zombie-apocalyptic world. We find out what it's like to portray a love story in such a high stakes world, why Danai thinks The Walking Dead captured audiences from its very first pilot, and her experiences as an executive producer, lead and writer on the series. All episodes of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live are available exclusively on Sky and Now. You can binge all 11 series of The Walking Dead there as well!

We've got something a (tiny) bit different for you in this episode - the internet was set on fire last week by The Cut who published a personal essay about an age gap relationship, so we've decided to go DEEP diving into both the article itself, and our general perception of age gaps in relationships. We also celebrate on behalf of our US listeners - who have had Sex and The City drop in full on their Netflix this week. What are some of the most iconic moments and does the show have a Gen Z equivalent?

Have you just finished Dry January? Thinking about Feb Fast? Can't face either just yet? Maybe you're a ‘grey area drinker'. This term was coined in 2018 by Jolene Park, who has trained many grey area drinking coaches. Since then, a whole world of alcohol-free, sober-pride people has populated social media, talking openly about their drinking, moderating and quitting, without the stigma attached to labels like ‘alcoholic'. For mums, in particular, it's almost become a new women's lib. Similarly, ‘quit lit' has really become a popular genre of memoir in recent years.In this episode of Spirit Levels, Frank and Jenny talk to coaches Lissie Turner and Faye Lawrence, who have very different styles, as well as two women who are exploring experimentation and sobriety respectively – authors Rochelle Siemienowicz and Seana Smith. We look at how coaching works – as opposed to other methods such as rehab, AA and counselling – and how it can be improved. Host Jenny also talks about why she nearly went down the route of becoming a coach but decided she definitely wasn't the best fit for the job. LINKS Host Jenny Valentish's 2017 memoir Woman of Substances: A Journey into Addiction and Treatment was added to university course reading lists and used as educational material by treatment centres. And hey, 156 Amazon ratings give it a solid 4.4! Lissie Turner's Dissolving Patterns course and podcast, and her music industry book, Off the Record. Faye Lawrence is an alcohol, ADHD and anxiety coach. Seana Smith's Sober Journeys website. Check out her favourite quit-lit books! Rochelle Siemienowicz's memoir Fallen, about pursuing hedonism after leaving the Seventh-day Adventists. The latest quit-lit book out there is A Thousand Wasted Sundays, by Victoria Vanstone. We love the Over the Influence podcast and community. Here's their episode on Sober Code. And here's the Sober Code website.Spirit Levels on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Meet Faye, the founder of Untoxicated, and a “grey area” drinking coach.  She was a heavy drinker for many years, but never really saw herself as an alcoholic, because on paper her life looked pretty successful. That was until 2017, when she wound up in hospital from her drinking. But she turned it all around, and part of her comeback story is that she has created a thriving community of people who are also giving up alcohol.  And you know what? She's also a late diagnosed ADHDer. So we got her on the show to pick her brain about the connection between ADHD and addiction, and what we can do about it.   Want to connect with Faye? Check out Untoxicated here. Her website is here.  Her Insta is here. And her Facebook is here.  —---------------------------- Thank you for listening!  Please take the time to hit subscribe, review our show and share with others, so that we can get our message out there :) If you'd like to connect, you can do so here: Instagram.

  My guest this week is Faye Lawrence who is the founder of Australia's largest alcohol-free community for the sober and the sober curious. Their focus is not so much on the “not drinking” bit but more on the socialising without alcohol bit – which is a real struggle for most people after they quit. They do dinners, bush walks, sober singles nights, live music and ever roller discos.  It sounds like a way to find your vibe as a newly sober person. Another reason I wanted to talk to Faye was because Research is now showing that there are definite links between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)  Faye was recently diagnosed with ADHD and was keen to talk about it In this episode:- Faye Explained that she'd been in therapy for years but it wasn't until she stopped drinking that the healing began She calls sobriety a "portal for growth" - at Tribe Sober we often call it a "springboard for self development" The combination of alcoholism on both sides of her family and the influence of the boozy Uk culture resulted in Faye beginning to drink at 13 She loved partying and found it enabled her to switch off her overactive brain She began working in London which of course meant joining the Work Hard/Play Hard culture Fay had kids quite young and then relocated to Australia Her drinking calmed down a bit after she had children but then ramped up again when she separated from her husband She felt isolated as had no family in Oz and hadn't yet established a friend network With 2 young children and a full time job she was struggling to cope Her kids alternated between Fay and her ex for weekends and when her kids were away Faye just wanted to get obliterated for the entire time For the next 20 years Fay was stuck in the moderation trap – that dreaded cycle that so many of us know The cycle of trying (and failing) to cut down Now and again when she had overdone it she would go to alcohol counselling or an AA meeting or to her GP for naltroxene but her denial was strong and of course she didn't WANT to give up Such a crucial point Faye made there – its no good trying to quit drinking because we think we should or because our partner or doctor has told us to – we have to WANT to quit and realise that we will be so much happier and healthier without it She describes herself as a functioning alcoholic – keeping the career and family going and ticking all the boxes But going to work with terrible hangovers multiple times a week In 2017 her relationship broke down and the kids left home – she was an empty nester and home alone That's when she hit her rock bottom That's when she realized she was no longer in control She didn't care whether she lived or died She didn't even want to drink and she realized the alcohol was no longer doing what she needed it to It wasn't enjoyable, or quelling her anxiety or giving her a break from her overactive mind This made me think of the saying that “sobriety delivers everything that alcohol promised!” In spite of her rock bottom she still couldn't stop drinking Faye's trigger for change was a trip to her therapist who told her that she looked terrible and had to get some help She got admitted to hospital for a detox Faye pointed out that people will be listening to her story and thinking “well I'm not that bad” – she used to think like that but now she realizes that it's a slippery slope If you're on the slippery slope please be smart and step off it as soon as possible – go to tribesober.com and hit join our tribe right now We both love the modern recovery movement and the fact that nobody has to walk into a room full of strangers and say “I am an alcoholic” these days There are so many different paths to sobriety these days which mean that nobody has to wait until they hit rock bottom We both relish the mental peace that sobriety brings – no more endless negotiating with ourselves about whether to drink or not! After her detox Faye threw the book at her sobriety – she took meds, she joined sobriety groups, she want to a counsellor and went to AA She decided to do whatever it took She decided to go into this with an open mind Keeping an open mind is so important – somebody asked me about our Zoom workshop the other day – she was nervous about attending and asked me what on earth we talk about for 4 hours! I suggested she attend with an open mind…and she loved it! We panic because we think we can't survive without our wine but once we join a community and see how other people are loving their alcohol free lives we change our thinking! Our next Zoom workshop is on 22nd July so just go to tribesober.com and hit our services if you want more info It made me smile when Faye said that “she'd never done adult life” – apparently our emotional maturity stalls when we start to drink heavily… Both Faye and I started drinking in our teens so we both had to learn adulting! You heard Faye mention that it was 17 years between realizing that she had a problem and stopping You've probably heard me quoting that study by the Tempest that says the average time is 11 years There is such a basic human need to belong which is why many of us non drinkers can feel marginalized (and maybe why Faye and I both started sobriety communities so we could meet like minded people!) We also agreed that it's a way to see who our friends really are and that it helps to change the format of our social events Replacing boozy lunches and nights out with brunches and coffee meetings for example We agreed that although alcohol is seen as a social lubricant it actually disconnects us and socializing without alcohol leads to more authentic connection A year ago Faye was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 48 Although there are there definite links between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) none of Faye's counsellors every mentioned this or suggested it could be an issue for her She feels a lot of people are suffering unnecessarily due to not being diagnosed Faye listed a few characteristics of the ADHD brain which sees things as “interesting” or “not interesting” and gets bored quickly She feels that anyone who feels they may have ADHD should go to their GP for a referral Faye's top 3 benefits of sobriety were relationship with self, relationship with children and clarity… As she says sobriety makes a space for good things to happen That's something to remember in early sobriety if we feel a bit flat or bored… it's not always going to feel like this and you're making a space for good things to happen Liminal space I think its called… Finally we agreed that the question is not “Am I an Alcoholic”, the question is “Am I living my best life”, Am I the person I want to be You can reach Faye via her website Untoxicated.com.au or via her email which is faye@untoxicated.com.au Episode Sponsor This episode is sponsored by the Tribe Sober Membership Program.  If you want to change your relationship with alcohol then sign up today Read more about our program and subscribe HERE Help us to Spread the Word!

In this episode we are joined by Faye Lawrence. Faye is a grey area drinking coach, psychotherapist and founder of Untoxicated, Australia's largest alcohol free social group. She shares her personal journey, stemming from an upbringing being exposed to alcohol and drugs, in which she was able to disconnect instantly from the internal struggles she was experiencing. While she could take it or leave it with drugs, she describes alcohol as her kryptonite. She describes a life of a high functioning addict, maintaining on the surface a well balanced life, working corporate jobs, studying psychology, raising children, all the while alcohol consumption was interlaced throughout, it ultimately lead to her internal world to crumble. She went into inpatient detox, an eye opening life changing experience where she was determined to never return to this place again, and has been alcohol free ever since. She shares being diagnosed with ADHD, we learn more about the disorder and how common it is found amongst people with substance abuse issues. She talks on Untoxicated, a social group she founded by her need and desire for connection. She wanted to bring fun back into socialising without alcohol. It's an engaging conversation with a lot of great useful information, we thank Faye for sharing her journey and her wisdom. Thank you Zekr Skin for sponsoring this video.

In this compelling episode, we delve into the inspiring work of Faye Lawrence and the transformative movement she spearheads through Untoxicated. Fuelled by a deep understanding that problem drinking and addiction are health issues, not personal failings, Faye challenges the societal norms and stigma surrounding alcohol use.Having been a heavy but high functioning drinker since her teens, Faye wound up in inpatient detox in late 2017 after the wheels really fell off. Determined not to let her sobriety ruin her social life she founded Untoxicated, now Australia's largest alcohol-free social community.She is a TEDx speaker, co-author and has featured widely across media with a mission to normalise living with less or no alcohol in a culture that reveres it. With a lifelong fascination in human behaviour, she holds a degree in psychology, is a certified Grey Area Drinking coach and is currently undertaking a Master of Counselling. A portfolio careerist, she's also a marketing, communications, and engagement consultant and has worked extensively with disability and community service organisations across Australia. Faye is passionate about using her lived experience of intergenerational addiction to advocate for the reduction of stigma to improve outcomes, and is a SMART Recovery Australia Board Member. In her spare time, she loves nothing more than hanging out with her two adult daughters and badly behaved Bengal cat. Alcohol has long served as a salve for dealing with trauma, chronic stress, isolation, and mental health issues. It permeates our lives, from celebrations to commiserations, bonding moments, and moments of relaxation. However, when the product ultimately leads to dependence, society often responds with condemnation and shame, hindering individuals from seeking help until personal costs become significant for themselves and those around them. Ironically, those who choose not to drink, whether in recovery or by personal preference, also face stigmatization and exclusion, leaving them feeling abnormal and left out. It's a lose-lose situation that perpetuates negative social pressures and stereotypes. Untoxicated aims to break this cycle. Research reveals that alcohol is the only drug for which approval of regular use outweighs disapproval, creating significant pressure to drink. This pressure leads to social avoidance, succumbing to peer pressure, and relapses. Yet, despite its widespread use, the health impacts and societal costs of alcohol far outweigh those of illicit drugs. Untoxicated is not advocating for everyone to give up alcohol. The movement believes in less judgment and more acceptance. Instead, it strives to create an environment where individuals can choose to give up or reduce their alcohol consumption without fear of judgment or isolation. Acceptance is the key. Through Untoxicated, people who don't drink, regardless of their reasons, find a sense of belonging, connection, and the affirmation that their choices are normal. The movement aims to empower individuals to make informed decisions earlier, demonstrating the possibilities of a life without alcohol or with reduced consumption, rather than waiting until they hit rock bottom. Untoxicated recognizes the importance of supporting those who seek lifestyle changes and providing them with the best chances of success. By doing so, individuals, their families, relationships, and communities can flourish, free from the damaging effects of alcohol.Join us as we explore Faye Lawrence's incredible vision and the founding principles of Together, let's challenge the status quo, redefine stigma, foster acceptance, and create a world where choices regarding alcohol are celebrated, understood, and respected.Link tSupport the showLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

Faye didn't realize that there were people who just don't drink because they don't want/like to (not because they're in recovery). But it's true. On thing we know for sure is alcohol stunts emotional maturity at age you start drinking. Once you're out of early sobriety (around a year) you start doing more work in growing and making changes–in thinking patterns, socializing, recognizing who are supportive vs. toxic people in our lives, developing strategies for day to day living. It takes work to relearn and reparent ourselves, this is a huge part of emotional sobriety. Friendships change and some are not able to transition. Very often we find there is a grieving period for many people, grieving their old lives. We discussed alcohol-free products and how they can be triggering for people in recovery but great for grey area drinkers/sober curious people, especially for social situations. We are hardwired to be social and connect with other people and social anxiety also plays a role. It's important to be able to socialize without alcohol. Faye created Untoxicated a group for anyone who wants to socialize without alcohol. You can learn more about it on their website, https://untoxicated.com.au/  or https://www.facebook.com/untoxicatedaus,  on on Instagram @untoxicated_aus.If you aren't in the Confident Sober Women Facebook group come on over and join us. We are a group of like minded women doing the work to grow. Oh and if you like this podcast can you please leave a rating and review, it really helps us spread the word.

It's here! The episode all the single sober souls have been waiting for. Sober Dating! Seeing as Vic and Lucy know nothing about sober dating they have invited on an expert. Faye is the founder of Untoxicated, is a grey area drinking coach and an all-round professional party pooper. She has been on and off the sober dating scene since she gave up booze 4 years ago. Today they discuss everything from their drunken dating pasts, vulnerable sober sex and all the squishy stuff in-between. In this cheeky episode you'll get to find out what it's really like showing up to a date as you, no mask, no crutches. Together Vic and Faye discover that sober dating is about maturity, boundaries, and practice. It really is a case of feeling the awkward and doing it anyway!
