We’re going out full circle, and we couldn’t think of a better way to do it than with the incredible Emma Rydal - writer and star of the powerful play Soaked. We chat about what inspired her to write it, her journey with sobriety, and why this story is so needed right now.

You can catch Soaked at the Kings Arms, Salford, as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe – 24th to 26th July, 7:30pm.

Tickets are £14 and available here: https://greatermanchesterfringe.co.uk/events/soaked/

In this inspiring episode of the Bee Sober Podcast, we sit down with Scott Hanley, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2018. When traditional medication wasn’t providing the relief he hoped for, Scott turned to a powerful alternative: exercise. Parkinson's has no cure, but numerous studies have shown that regular physical activity can significantly alleviate symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.

After reading about others’ success stories, Scott embraced the intensity of CrossFit—a fitness program known for its combination of strength and conditioning exercises. The dynamic workouts include movements like burpees, deadlifts, rowing, squats, and more—helping to build endurance, strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, all of which can make a huge difference for those battling Parkinson’s.

This episode ties perfectly into the overarching theme of the podcast: believing in yourself and the power of mindset. Scott’s journey reflects the same ideas we've discussed with previous guests like Anna and Angela, who shared their own stories of resilience, positive affirmations, and the mental choices that fuel transformation.

Tune in for a conversation that highlights the strength of the human spirit and the importance of choosing wellness, no matter the obstacles.

In this inspiring episode of the Bee Sober Podcast, Lisa and Alex sit down with the incredible Dr. Angela White, also known as The Running Granny. 

Dr. Angela White, widely known as The Running Granny, is a retired doctor, surgeon with a special interest in hip fracture, and qualified personal trainer with a deep passion for healthy ageing and the power of movement to transform lives. With a career spanning medicine, surgery, fitness, and technology, she combines medical expertise, lived experience, and relentless curiosity to inspire individuals and professionals alike to take action for lifelong health.

Angela’s journey into running began at the age of 53, in 2012, when she took her own "small steps" to improve her health after years of being overworked, overweight, unfit, and unhappy. At the same time she started running, she was introduced to endurance and ultra-running, and she became fascinated by what the human body can achieve when challenged. Since then, she has completed a range of extreme endurance events, including 100-mile races, 24-hour challenges, 190-mile coast-to-coast ultras and various mountain challenges. In 2024 she represented Great Britain in the European Multisport Championships bringing home two age-group bronze medals in duathlon and half ironman distance triathlon. Most recently, in January, she completed the gruelling Spine Challenger North, 160 miles along the Pennine Way in winter.

We were so captivated by her story that we ended up chatting with Angela for over an hour after the podcast ended too—she has that much more to offer! Her journey is a true testament to perseverance, determination, and the power of pushing beyond limits, no matter your age.

If you’re looking for motivation and inspiration, this episode is a must-listen!

Jane is a 52 year-old Mum of a 7 year old pocket rocket and got sober in 2017 after five years of trying and a long stint “moderating”. Jane previously had a drinking career of some 30 plus years. She survived student days, raving, and the ladette culture only to find herself using alcohol to cope and numb after lots of complicated trauma. Jane’s journey has been full of highs, lows, twists and turns, including a period spent in The Priory, AA, an attempt at moderation, relapse and recovery. Jane is now a qualified person-centred therapist (a journey which took 9 years instead of the usual 4) and a qualified sober coach and also volunteers as a counsellor for a Well woman’s centre.

Welcome to season 8 Episode 2 of The Sober Experiment Podcast by Bee Sober where Alex and Lisa chat with Vicki Rebecca. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses rape in significant detail Vicki Rebecca has run a successful private Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming practice that includes one to one therapy, both in-person and online, classes, retreats, live-in intensives, books and products since 1999. Since 2003 that practice has included retreats all over the world including Egypt, India, Turkey, the sacred sites of Scotland and more. She wrote her first book: ‘The Me I Want To Be: Simple Shifts To Authentic Wellbeing’ initially for the clients and students she’d worked with for over twenty years. It was also a way of pulling all her knowledge together, but most of all she wrote it for those who could not manage to go along to sessions or classes because of cost or distance. It had always been a source of frustration to Vicki that she could not help them too. To make her work accessible to a larger audience she wrote the book and recorded over ten hours of instruction and guided journeys to accompany it. In response to “The Me I Want To Be” when she has opened up during public talks, informal chats, and most especially her own realisation that a huge part of her sadhana IS to share her story, Vicky has now written her autobiography, no holds barred: “Naked Truth: Diary of a Glamour Model” is a time document ranging from 1956 to today. The true story of a young runaway who made her way through the seedy photo booths of Soho of the 1970s into a career as a page three girl and Monroe lookalike. A broken heart left her fluctuating between stardom, drugs and despair and when she hit rock bottom a spiritual experience changed her life. Vicki Rebecca has certainly lived!

Welcome to season 7 of The Sober Experiment Podcast by Bee Sober where Alex and Lisa chat with Lea Watson, founder of Glow Sober. Originally an Instagram page to review alcohol-free drinks and literature, it has now evolved into working with organisations to support their employees by raising awareness of the impact of alcohol. Lea has always had a complicated relationship with alcohol which escalated after the death of her only son, in 2018. She finally became alcohol free on 12 July 2020 and is committed to making profound and lasting change by promoting the positive benefits of sobriety and supporting those that wish to take a more mindful approach to their own alcohol consumption. By working with employers, Lea’s aim is to remove the stigma from having conversations about drinking and encourage a non-judgemental, objective approach to the benefits of reducing one’s alcohol intake. Lea’s son was killed in a road traffic collision when he got into a car with his friend who drunk. He crashed and Jack was left with catastrophic and fatal injuries. Lea works with a charity called Safe Drive Stay Alive and talks to teenagers of driving age about the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Lea has a first-class degree in English, and is also PCET (DTLLS) trained. She also holds an MA in Lifelong Learning. Much of Lea’s working life had been in business development, and product management. She has written and developed many training courses on a variety of subjects and delivered presentations to corporate audiences on a regular basis. She is also a designated Recovery Coach Professional. Lea relocated to Bournemouth from South Gloucestershire in 2021 where she and her partner have bought an old house with a sizeable garden to renovate. She says she can already feel the benefit of coastal living. Lea is a a keen runner and has completed several marathons, including New York.
