Back in the 1700s, in a spa town outside of London, Thomas Bayes, a Presbyterian minister and amateur mathematician, invented a formula that lets you figure out how likely something is to happen based on what you already know. It changed the world. Today, pollsters use it to forecast election results and bookies to predict Super Bowl scores. For neuroscientists, it explains how our brains work; for computer scientists, it's the principle behind artificial intelligence. In this episode, we explore the modern-day applications of this game-changing theorem with the help of Tom Chivers, author of the new book "Everything Is Predictable: How Bayesian Statistics Explain Our World."

Today's guests on The Breaking Up With Anxiety™ Podcast are Michaela Horvathova and Erinn O'Neill, the hosts of the 2 Sober Girls Podcast and the 2 Sober Girls Mastermind. As mothers, health coaches, and advocates, they share their journey of breaking up with alcohol to reclaim their lives. Michaela, alcohol-free by choice, and Erinn, sober through AA, both offer unique perspectives on sobriety and its transformative power. Sobriety, they believe, is the ultimate invitation to everything you want, and I couldn't agree more! In this episode, Michaela, Erinn, and I discuss how we have all used substances to cope with heavy feelings and anxiety, how alcohol limits us by affecting our relationships, friendships, and our sense of self. We dive into the positive impact sobriety has had on our personal and professional lives, how not drinking feels like gaining superpowers, the different phases of sobriety and the support needed for each, whether everyone needs AA, strategies for building a personalized sobriety toolkit, and so much more!
