Victoria Vanstone. Author. Ex-Pint Stealer and Podium Hogger. Mother. Fizzy Water Warrior.That's her description in her own words and I had to use it because it's so brilliant and after our chat, I have to admit, so accurate.

Vic is the creator of the blog Drunk Mummy Sober Mummy and The Sober Social community for people questioning their relationship with alcohol. We delve into her own experience with alcohol over the years and how she realized it was time to finally break up. Vic has a way of inviting you in to her life as a close friend, being extremely candid about experiences that can be quite dark, but also doing so with humor.

Just a head's up -- that whistling or chirping that you'll hear throughout? Those are wild parrots at Victoria's house! Picture luscious, luscious greenery with tons of trees, birds, and I think she even mentioned a giant lizard. Picture this while you're listening to our conversation.
