This week on the podcast I'm delighted to share my conversation with Clare Pooley, author of "The Sober Diaries". This book and Clare's story were a huge inspiration for me while I was changing my drinking habit. The book is a wonderful mixture of humor, science and straight talk. A little bit about Clare: After studying Economics at Cambridge University, Clare spent twenty years in the heady world of advertising, producing global and local campaigns for brands like Kit Kat, Huggies nappies, Barclays Bank, Rolex watches, Persil washing powder, and many, many more. Clare worked hard and played hard and ended up drinking way too much wine, so she quit drinking and started a blog called Mummy was a Secret Drinker. This blog became a runaway success and led to a publishing deal. Clare's memoir - The Sober Diaries was published in December 2017, followed by a TEDx talk titled 'Making Sober Less Shameful.' Clare then turned to fiction. Her debut novel - The Authenticity Project - was published last year in thirty-one languages, from Croatian to Korean and Hebrew and spent several weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Clare is currently editing her second novel and of course, being "Mummy" to three children too. I loved talking to Clare all about her experience as she changed her relationship with alcohol and what she's working on now. Visit her at www.clarepooley.com ★ Support this podcast ★
