This is a podcast for anyone who's ever been told that being single makes you incomplete, or life will only begin when you find “the one.”I wanted to make it because I was tired of outdated cultural narratives that told me there were only two life paths available to us – “partnered and happy” or “single andsearching.”There is a different way – solo and thriving.With more solo households today than at any point in our history, single people are the fastest-growing demographic.And yet, being alone is often viewed as a state of limbo before we meet “the one” and settle down.What if the one you've been looking for is you? Could embracing your single status rather than fearing it be the key to a whole and happy life?To leave “well enough alone” means to stop trying to change something that is already good enough.I wanted to make a space for conversations that celebrate solo life, flipping the script on sad and lonely single stereotypes and embracing all that a life untethered has to offer.And that's exactly what I've done, with my incredible production team at Spare Room, who have helped me turn this dream into a reality.Over the last few months, I've interviewed inspiring guests – some who are single and some who aren't – who shared stories of the strength and comfort they've found in their own company.And I talked to leading experts in psychology, human behaviour, business and health about the upsides and the challenges of solo living – from choosing to be child-free or being a single parent, to managing a budget on one income, enjoying your freedom or navigating loneliness, and dipping your toe in the dating pool.Whether you're happily single, trying to get comfortable with your solo status, or even partnered and looking to carve out more time for yourself, Well Enough Alone is here to help you live your life your way.

Banter, laughter, and tears, this ep has it all.Jill Stark is an award winning Journalist and Author, a speaker, a mental health advocate, a Scotralian*, an animal lover, a sober queen and she always has nice hair!  In this ep Breeza and Maso deep dive into the reason why Jill gave booze the flick the first time (and wrote a book about it), why she went back to booze and why she gave it the flick again.  Jill speaks so openly in this chat and puts herself and her lived experience out there. If you haven't read High Sobriety, please do, it's a fantastic read, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry and it will make you know that you're not alone.Starkers is a hoot! Enjoy this ep folks! *for those playing at home a Scotralian is half Scottish half Australian (only the good bits from each!). 

This is the sixteenth episode in our Lived Experience series, where we speak with some remarkable people who have experienced and overcome adversity, and who are sharing their stories in a way that might help other people in need of support. In this episode we meet Jill Stark, a Melbourne-based journalist, best-selling author and mental health advocate.Jill specialises in writing about social justice, mental health and health issues affecting Australians including the nation's binge drinking culture.  It was while writing these award-winning articles back in 2011, published in The Age, that Jill had a reckoning with her own drinking habits.  This led to Jill's best-selling book High Sobriety: My Year Without Booze which explores drinking culture in both Scotland, where she grew up, and in Australia, through the lens of her own relationship with alcohol.“I was internally wrestling with my own relationship with alcohol… and as I said in High Sobriety, during the week I writing about Australia's alcohol problem and on the weekends, I was writing myself off…,” Jill says.Jill's shared openly about her life-long struggle with anxiety and depression, and experienced a mental health crisis at a time of her life where on the outside, she was experiencing career and writing success.Her second book Happy Never After: why the happiness fairytale is driving us mad (and how I flipped the script) begins with her experiencing a panic attack at work. This was the start of what Jill says was the darkest period of her life.“That was the last time I was in the newsroom for nearly five months…it escalated from there. I couldn't work, I could barely leave the house…,” Jill says.“I had thought, unconsciously…that once I had all of these external things that would prove that I was a worthy, valuable human, that I would feel whole, and I would feel happy and at peace with myself…I could have had Ryan Gosling under one arm and a Pulitzer Prize under the other, it wouldn't have been enough, because underneath at all, I didn't feel like I was enough. I felt like there was something missing.”Jill's hard-earned work on her mental health and her insights offer hope and connection to anyone doing it tough, because she knows what it's like when you're not OK.  “To me good mental health is accepting all of yourself, not just the shiny parts we put up on Facebook and Instagram,” Jill says.If you are affected by anything discussed in this episode, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or go to lifeline.org.au Jill's latest book is When You're Not Ok: a toolkit for tough times.To find out more about Jill go to her website jillstark.com.au or follow her on Instagram @JillStark__ where she shares candidly about life, mental health and her advocacy work.  ermha365 provides a range of mental health services designed to help people experiencing mental health challenges to thrive in the community.  

Many of us spend years building up our skills and climbing the career ladder. When we earn more money, does it make us happier? Perhaps the ancient Greeks were right – living a virtuous life is the key to feeling good. What about positive thinking and gratitude, do they work?

In this episode, we get close and personal with another central character in the Happier Approach: the overindulgent BFF. The BFF has good intentions-- she's often jumping in to argue with the Monger when that mean voice of self-criticism gets too loud. But the BFF can push us over the line from self-care to self-indulgence very quickly. Nancy walks us through a typical tug-of-war between her Monger and BFF, and tells us how she's able to quiet those voices. Nancy also speaks to writer and mental health advocate Jill Stark, author of three books about mental health. Jill tells us about her experience giving up alcohol, and how practicing radical honesty around that tough decision totally kick-started her career as an author. She also shares some tips that she's picked up from her own experiences dealing with her inner critic. Listen to the full episode to hear: All about The BFF.

Published on 08 Jul 2020. Jill Stark was wracked by paralysing anxiety and serious depression. She hit rock bottom, her mental health crisis flaring up in the aftermath of a personal triumph: the success of her debut book. She talks to Paul Barclay about the myth of happiness, what her personal struggles have taught her, and the hard, but rewarding, road she’s travelled, rebuilding her life, and her health.

This week, I'm joined by my good friend JILL STARK to talk about anxiety, lockdown and some of the tools we can use to ground us when we're feeling fizzy brained. Jill's first book, “High Sobriety” was about the year she spent sober. She has since become sober again, and we talk about what this means for a person's mental health and some of the emotional challenges that come with committing to and maintaining sobriety. It gave me a lot to think about in terms of my own relationship to alcohol, and I know it will resonate strongly with listeners!From little sisters, we answer questions about how to get back into dating without losing yourself in a prospective partner; what to do when the person you've been developing intimacy with decides to soft ghost you and insist it's only ‘casual'; and how to react when a close friend becomes ‘the other woman'.You can follow Jill and her posts about mental health, sobriety and anxiety at the following places:Twitter: @jillastarkFacebook: @jillstarkInstagram: @jillstark__Tracie Egan Morrisey's Emotional Conquistador article here: https://jezebel.com/dudes-today-the-emotional-conquistador-is-the-new-sexu-5022624Buy Jill's books here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/high-sobriety-jill-stark/book/9781922070227.html?source=pla&gclid=CjwKCAiA5IL-BRAzEiwA0lcWYujpMh5xqbP_lEoZ6ucwX8IVb4_40sP8xEGn5XgGj6FZXIB4GJ1yoBoCSZ8QAvD_BwEFeedback/Question submission: bigsisterhotline@gmail.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/clementinefordInstagram: www.instragram.com/clementine_ford****(And remember, if you like the show then please consider rating and reviewing it!)

If you’ve ever thought of yourself as the good time party girl or boy, then had a hangover that changed everything; or if you’ve struggled with mental health issues regardless of having had a great childhood; or if you’ve ever considered happiness as the holy grail, then this conversation is for you. Jill Stark is a best-selling author, award-winning journalist, and passionate mental health advocate. In this episode of Human Cogs, hosts Sabina Read and Madeleine Grummet take the long, hard road back into Jill’s dark past, as she shares her experience of what she refers to as her “breakthrough, not breakdown”. No stranger to crippling anxiety and an over-reliance on alcohol, Jill explains the liberating power of understanding her childhood and family dynamics in making sense of her own feelings of being defective, and the shifts that therapy - and her eventual sobriety - have created in her life.

This week we’re so excited to share with you this interview with Jill Stark. Jill is a best-selling author, award-winning journalist, and passionate mental health advocate. Her first book, High Sobriety: My Year Without Booze, charted her year off the sauce and highlighted Australia’s obsession with alcohol. The book catapulted her into a life of media attention and parties - she was living the dream. And then it all fell apart. This led Jill to question the narrative on what it means to be successful and she wrote the book ‘Happy Never After’ in which Jill turns the happiness fairytale on it’s head and swaps the ‘quick fix’ approach to mental ill health for the long road back to herself. Part of that journey for Jill was to question her relationship once again with alcohol and last year she decided to cut it out of her life for the foreseeable future. The link between her anxiety and her drinking was just too much to ignore. We talk to Jill about her journey to where she is now, how booze is implicated in mental health and the state of booze culture in our society. We hope you enjoy! If you are struggling you can contact the following organisations: Beyond Blue - https://www.beyondblue.org.au/ They have a dedicated Coronavirus Mental Wellbeing Support Service - https://coronavirus.beyondblue.org.au/ You can find Jill on the socials: Instagram: @jillstark__ and on her website: https://jillstark.com.au/ Here is a link to an incredible piece she wrote for Beyond Blue: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/personal-best/pillar/in-focus/am-i-normal-hangover-anxiety

We know that physical distancing is tough on a lot of people - we are feeling it too. So what should we look out for both in ourselves and others to maintain good mental health?

Did you know that there is no fast route to happiness? Most people don't know or don't want to acknowledge this. Enter Jill Stark. She was living the dream - coveted job, dating a sports star, bestselling author - but then it all fell apart. Her second memoir, Happy Never After, looks at the idea of the ‘happiness trap' and how we often live a fake Truman Show kind of life. We chat with Jill about the fairytale of happiness and how she flipped the script.
