The Sober Rebel

Louisa Evans 154 Episodes Jan 22, 2026

The Sober Rebel challenges the idea that being alcohol-free is boring. Host Louisa Evans talks with guests about the positive side of sobriety, from better relationships and health to fun experiences they wouldn't have had as drinkers. The conversations focus on why people enjoy staying sober rather than how they quit. Louisa is a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist with a background in psychology.
