I'm Olivia Farrelly and I am an Alcohol-Free Coach Mentor. Every episode, I interview people who have removed alcohol from their lives. We discuss how alcohol made their lives better, how it made their lives worse, any tips they've learned along the way and what advice they would give to somebody else looking to live their lives with No More Booze.
This podcast is not just about sobriety; it's about rewriting the script on alcohol culture in this extremely alcohol centric world that we live in. Becoming alcohol free invloves learning to untangle from this culture and how to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth and the pursuit of genuine happiness.
As an alcohol-free mentor, I can provide guidance, support and advice to anyone who is seeking to live their life free from alcohol. I use specific tools to enhance motivation to make positive life choices regarding alcohol use. I help people identity their goals and they make specific changes accordingly. I also provide accountability to those seeking to make these changes. I show people ways to develop new, healthier coping mechanisms and make more positive, life-affirming life choices.

Dr Gillian O'Shea Brown; Psyche's Awakening, Healing & Self-Love
This week on No More Booze, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Gillian O’Shea Brown (joining us from New York, originally from Cork) to talk trauma, healing and what it really means to come home to yourself. We talk about her stunning new book, Psyche’s Awakening and why she used Greek mythology as a psychological map for self-understanding, like what a stunning concept! We discuss complex trauma, the hero’s journey, ego death and why it’s not why are you use alcohol but what are you trying NOT to feel by drinking? Plus: intuition vs trauma (loud vs quiet), EMDR, self-love without narcissism, social pruning and two powerful exercises from the book—including the Erotic Emotional Map. We also talk about Chiron, the wounded healer, a figure who teaches and heals others through his own suffering. Enjoy!
Dr. Gillian O’Shea Brown is a New York based psychotherapist, adjunct asst. professor at NYU, and EMDRIA approved consultant passionate about whole living for all people. Her work on the treatment and healing of complex trauma (relational trauma) has been featured internationally. She uses an integrative blend of trauma informed evidenced based modalities including: EMDR, IFS (Ego State Work), DBT, TF-CBT and Somatic Techniques to treat her clients. Her first book, entitled Healing Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Clinician’s Guide (2021, Springer) was designed to provide trauma-informed therapists with psychoeducation. Inspired to share her wisdom outside of the classroom she created Psyche's Awakening (2026,HarperOne).

Liver Health with Sharan Verma
This week on No More Booze, I’m joined by expert guest Sharan Verma, aka The Fatty Liver Nutritionist @fattylivernutritionist, for a proper deep dive into our beautiful pink organ, the liver and why it deserves way more attention than it gets. Sharan shares the personal story behind her work, the shocking stats around fatty liver and why liver disease can be silent for years. We talk liver function tests, ultrasounds and fibroscans and what to ask your GP for. Plus: what a liver-friendly diet actually looks like, the gut–liver connection, fibre, coffee, fermented foods, stress, sleep, and small sustainable changes that really add up. I love my liver.
Sharan Verma specialises in helping people improve and reverse fatty liver through practical, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle changes. An ex-NHS Health Coach a Global Liver Institute A3 Committee member and Liver UK lay reviewer, Sharan is passionate about breaking the stigma and misconception around fatty liver, because you don’t have to drink alcohol to have it.

A Sober Love Story with Natalie and Shane
This week on No More Booze I’m joined by not one, but two guests: Natalie and Shane from @soberight, a sober couple with two very different stories and one shared mission: making alcohol-free life look (and feel) normal, doable and actually really cool. We chat about growing up in Scotland and Ireland where drinking is just what you do, the anxiety and blackouts that can come with 'normal' weekends and how Shane’s night in Valencia (lost phone, wallet, keys… and a police map home) led him to meet Natalie and ultimately rethink everything.
We also get into bridging the gap in early sobriety, getting time on the board, weddings and concerts without booze, identity shifts, backlash online and Natalie’s practical nutrition tips for cravings, sugar and self-compassion at the start. Enjoy!
