WTF Was She Thinking?

WTF Was She Thinking?•podcasters.spotify.com
Education
Self-Improvement
We are Mel from Its Not Me Its Booze and Clare author of Musings, two women that were fucked over by alcohol but discovered upon becoming friends that we have a lot more in common than the decision to live an alcohol-free life. This is our podcast, a space that rebels against girl boss culture and dives deep into the messy reality that is living sober, diagnosed and attempting to survive and contour. Just like life, this will be an unpredictable journey but we really hope you are as excited as we are to be along for the ride!
