Editor's letter

As I write this, I have just reached four months sober. I recently had my first night out without drinking, and whilst it wasn’t easy, I managed it just fine. I’m now more prepared to enjoy the summer booze-free. Michelle’s articles, The Diary of a Sober Sister, are definitely inspiring me to continue my new health journey. In this issue, Michelle takes a look back at why she decided to get sober (page 73).

Also in the wellness section, Gemma Dawkins urges us women to delve a little deeper and explore our relationships with our menstrual cycles (page 64) and Trudi Roscouet discusses Menopause and the many symptoms that are associated with it (page 70).

Katherine Boucher, founder of The Jersey Tea Company, invited me up to their farm to see how their tea is grown, harvested, and brewed. I love how passionate Katherine is. She explained that her and her husband wanted a change from their day-to-day psychology jobs and knew they wanted to work with the land somehow. Katherine shares her story on page 66.

This issue includes our annual kids feature. May Bourne, the founder of Positive Birth Jersey, shares her experience of birth and motherhood so far (page 45) and Hayley Goldacre explains why she took over The Mum Club franchise (page 48).

The feature wouldn’t be complete without a mini fashion shoot. Of course, one of the perks of having a magazine is that I can use my own children – oh good ole’ nepotism. Beatrice and Freddie had fun at Bonne Nuit, showcasing the latest beach and swimwear (page 50).

It wouldn’t be a British summer without the odd downpour of rain. So, we experienced. Twice! Mark Stephenson did an amazing job of shooting Tilly Amy at St Ouen’s Bay for our Beach Daze editorial (from page 26). Can you even tell it was raining?! Our second editorial, Daydreamer, was also shot at St Ouen’s. Lucy Warren looked stunning in a variety of boho styles (from page 34). In the fashion section you’ll also find the latest dresses, a summer essentials list and co-ord sets.

As always, I hope you enjoy this issue as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together.

FROM MIDWIFE TO MOTHER

After having her own baby, May Bourne, the founder of Positive Birth Jersey, shares her experience so far.

Ihad been working as a midwife for nearly ten years when we decided that the time was right for us to have our own baby. I knew from the start that, if all was well, I would plan to give birth at home with the support of my community midwifery colleagues. I was lucky enough to have a really enjoyable pregnancy, and I stayed active.

My experience as a midwife and Hypnobirthing teacher led me to have complete confidence in my body, the process of normal physiological labour and the midwives who would be supporting me. I knew how important the environment was, and I knew that for me, being in hospital would instantly have a negative impact on my mindset and how relaxed I felt. There is also a huge amount of evidence to show that home birth is very safe, and the chance of intervention is much lower for those giving birth at home

(The Birth Place Study, 2011). I did feel quite a lot of pressure because of my job, but I was incredibly excited to have my own birth experience after years of supporting so many women as a midwife.

I had been having strong but painless Braxton Hicks ('practice contractions') for about two weeks. On the morning of Wednesday 2nd March, I woke up and noticed that I was having what I assumed to be Braxton Hicks tightenings – I had never had them during the day (only in the evening), so I thought my body might be gearing up towards labour in the next few days. I decided to use up the leftover pancake batter from the day before (Pancake Day!), and my mum cooked me 5 (yes, 5!) lemon and sugar pancakes for breakfast. I went out for the day for tea, cake and shopping, stopping off for dinner from M&S on the way home at about 4.30pm.

The journey home from M&S was interesting – it was at this point I realised I probably was in early labour as suddenly I was having to breathe through the tightenings. We got home at 5pm, and by 5.30pm, my partner Scott had called the midwives without me knowing – and it's a good job he did! My midwife arrived at 5.45pm, and I suddenly felt like I was losing control. I had an examination just after 6pm and I was 9cm dilated; we moved downstairs shortly after. It had been transformed into such a beautiful relaxing space, with the pool in the middle of the room and tealights and candles dotted around. We had my music playlist playing, which Scott had put together in pregnancy. One of my strongest memories was being in the pool just before Flora was born and Ben Howard's song 'Keep Your Head Up' playing – I sang the lyrics to myself "keep your head up, keep your heart strong",

and it really helped me to refocus and find the last bit of determination.

I got into the pool at 6.50pm, and it was the most instant amazing relief. The pressure was overwhelming at this point, and my waters broke shortly after this at around 7pm – I felt a small amount of relief for about 10 seconds before realising that this release meant her head moved down very quickly, and then the pressure was indescribable. I can't explain the urge to push – it was just there, and my body knew what to do. Flora's head and body were born in quick succession, and she entered the world at 7.21pm. I caught her myself and lifted her out of the water and onto my chest. At this moment, I felt so proud and in awe of my body – I couldn't believe that I had done it! I was shocked by Flora's amazing head of hair as we thought she would be blonde or bald!

The next couple of hours were spent on the sofa having skin-to-skin and breastfeeding Flora; she initially latched and fed well after birth. The midwives cleared up and emptied the pool, and the room was almost back to normal in no time – and contrary to popular belief, home birth is not messy! That first shower after birth was just amazing - I stood in the shower in total disbelief at what had happened and thanked my body for all that it had done. I felt so lucky to have had such an amazing home birth experience and that everything had gone exactly as I had hoped for throughout my pregnancy. From start to finish, my labour was about three hours, which is fantastic, but also quite a shock for both mind and body – but overall, I wouldn't change it for the world.

People have asked how it feels being on the other side as a midwife and Hypnobirthing teacher – it has made me even more in awe of both women and midwives, and I am forever grateful that I have been lucky enough to experience pregnancy and birth. People asked me regularly if I was scared about birth – and the truth is, I wasn't - I had faith that it would be okay. I know that not everyone feels this way, and I am lucky to have witnessed hundreds of births (many of them being home births) in my career as a midwife. My own birth experience has made me love

midwifery and birth more than I already did, and as I sit writing this now at 12 weeks postpartum, I cannot describe the wonder of the female body and what it can achieve.

The first 12 weeks after birth are known as the 'fourth trimester', and for me, this was the trimester I found the hardest. The first few weeks of Flora's life have felt like a whirlwind of sleep deprivation, uncertainty and adapting to a new role and life, and it has been challenging. We have had a few breastfeeding difficulties, which was challenging for me as a midwife as I put myself under a lot of pressure to get everything' right.' It took a good few weeks to find our new normal, and I can now say that I am enjoying motherhood and Flora so much. But I also feel sadness at how quickly the fourth trimester has gone and that the newborn stage has whizzed by in a blur of uncertainty, sleep deprivation and breastfeeding struggles. I didn't enjoy and cherish it as much as I should have, but I want to normalise the fact that I think lots of new mums feel the same.

Although I had a lot of experience as a midwife, becoming a mum is something that nothing can prepare you for; it can be so hard, but it is genuinely the best thing in the world. I wouldn't say that I will be a better midwife as a result of having my own baby, but perhaps a different one. 

"It has made me even more in awe of both women and midwives, and I am forever grateful that I have been lucky enough to experience pregnancy and birth."

THE MUM CLUB

Having attended a couple of events, Hayley Goldacre loved everything about The Mum Club. When the franchise went up for sale, it was an opportunity she couldn't turn down.

They say it takes a village to raise a child. When I had my first baby (Willow), I felt like I had that. My husband (Tim) and I were living in the UK at the time. Lots of our close friends were settling down, getting married, having babies of their own, and our parents were only a couple of hours drive away. I had a lovely group of "Mummy friends". We guided each other through pregnancy, birth and becoming mothers, messaging at all hours of the day or while up feeding our babies at night. We met for coffee and cake. We went for walks. We confided in one another about our mum "fails" and celebrated our successes together.

Fast forward ten months and covid hit, we went into lockdown and Tim was made redundant… but shortly afterwards, he was headhunted for a job here in Jersey. After a trip to the island for his interview, we found out

we were pregnant with our second child (Darcey). I was still feeling "seasick" four days after getting the ferry home, so we figured we should probably do a test!

I felt quite lost when we first moved to Jersey in October 2020, and I didn't have my "village" here. I had also resigned from the job I loved (as a radio journalist) to relocate and became a stay-at-home-mum, which was a huge adjustment.

We moved during the height of the pandemic, when group gatherings weren't allowed, making it difficult to meet anyone. Tim and I signed up for antenatal classes where we had hoped to connect with other parents, but they were all done online. It was incredibly challenging to build friendships when we didn't get a chance to chat to one another like you would in the same room. Thankfully, I have since become friends with some of that group and other mums I've met along the way.

BrittaMariePhotography

But I've had a taste of how isolating it can be as a new mum. Those early days with two children under two were hard with no support network here. I really struggled with the lack of sleep from feeding Darcey all night and having to run around after Willow all day. When the covid restrictions eased, I signed up to as many toddler groups as possible to get us out of the house and meet some new people. I was at Forest Friends with both the girls when Darcey was just two weeks old! It paid off, but I really had to put myself out there.

That's what I love about The Mum Club. It's all about giving mums a safe space to meet other women who also have children. I went to a couple of events when it first launched last summer and loved everything. When I heard the franchise was up for sale, it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. It was everything I had needed and been missing as a mum. In December, I took over running it with a friend who has since left the island, and I'm now running it alone (with my two girls in tow).

We typically get between 25 and 30 women and their babies/toddlers join us for each event. It's a really lovely atmosphere. For two hours, the mums can chat about anything and everything while enjoying some food, a hot drink… and the occasional prosecco. I can even hold their babies (if they would like me to) so they can eat. TMC brings women together to build one another up and support each other through this crazy journey of motherhood. No judgment. No cliques. It's an incredible community to be part of. I feel like me again, and hopefully, the women who come to our events do too. 

Stinging nettles (UrticaDioica) grow abundantly across Jersey, generally seen as invasive, but there is definitely more to them than itchy stings! Packed with antioxidants & minerals, nettles can help balance sebum production & help skin stay clear & firm. The formic acid in the stings is removed with heat.

Wearing gloves, pick a few leaves, cover with boiled water & leave to cool for a skin firming toner or shineboosting hair rinse. If you don’t fancy picking these stingy little gems, Gaia & moon harvest organically grown nettles & infuse in organic plant oils for a rich wild nettle oil.

SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FAT REDUCTION

Are you struggling with stubborn pockets of fat on the stomach, bingo wings or chin, even though you maintain a healthy lifestyle? If so, Aqualyx, body fat dissolving injections may be the solution for you!

Aqualyx is a non-surgical fat dissolving injection treatment. The procedure uses a solution of deoxycholic acid to safely eliminate small, stubborn pockets of fat which resist diet and exercise.

It works by liquefying fat cells in the chosen treatment area, destroying them for good. The fat/lipids are then released and eliminated naturally by the lymphatic system.

HOW QUICKLY DO RESULTS OCCUR?

Depending on the size of the fatty area and deposits, determines the amount of treatment required. On average, 1-3 treatments for small areas are sufficient e.g. chin area and 3 or more treatments for larger areas such as the abdomen.

It takes time for the fatty deposits to be broken down and flushed out of the system, so it is recommended to leave 4 to 6 weeks between appointments.

ARE AQUALYX RESULTS PERMANENT?

The fat cells will be reduced in the injected areas and therefore the results can last a long time, if not permanently. However, maintaining this also depends on whether you lead a healthy lifestyle. If you have a well-balanced diet and exercise regularly, results will be better than if you do not.

Aqualyx is available at The Laser Centre. Contact Julie Naidu on 01534 888272 to book an appointment.

WHAT IS YOUR PERIOD PAIN TRYING TO TELL YOU?

Period pain is probably the most common symptom that disturbs women. We've come to believe that period pain is something we should endure. But I'm here to tell you that period pain isn't normal.

With the number of women who suffer from period pain, it has become the norm to associate our periods with cramps, stabbing intense pain, and complete wipe out every month. Doctors put PMS down to the imbalance of hormones, the impact of certain foods you eat, and sometimes even the types of exercise. But what if the pain you're experiencing is trying to tell you something? What if that pain in your womb, in your ovaries, is asking you to dive a little deeper and acknowledge a part of yourself that wants your attention and needs to be seen, witnessed, and heard?

What if that pain directly manifests how you subconsciously feel about your sexuality and femininity?

What if that pain is a physical manifestation of your femininity that you have been repressing and suppressing?

What if that pain asks you to connect deeper to the feminine and heal your relationship with your mother?

What if the pain represents the relationship you have with your period?

What if the pain you are experiencing is linked to how you subconsciously feel about being a woman living in a patriarchal society?

The womb is such a powerful, energetic centre of the body; it's connected to our sacral chakra - the centre of our creativity, the centre of our pleasure, and represents our relationship with the self and our worth. It is said that when we are disconnected from this energy centre, we are disconnected from our life force - the divine feminine energy that we possess within. Everything starts with energy and manifests in the physical. Then, the body talks to us to get our attention, creating symptoms that highlight an imbalance or blockage in the body's innate healing system. See, here's the thing, our modern-day culture introduces our period as a big problem or inconvenience. We aren't taught to honour our cycles or taught how they are linked to the lunar cycle. If we go back to our ancestral times, before street lights and outside lights affected us, women bled on the natural cycle of light, particularly the moon. Women would all bleed together and learn together, leaving their tribes during these times. They would share their emotions and what they were feeling at this time, providing them with a space to feel, release and let go. They would then return to the tribes and share with the men what they had learnt and what needed to change, and this ultimately scared men as they started to see how powerful women were with their emotions.

In the patriarchal society we live in today, we fail to honour our menstrual cycles. When we bleed, we shove in a tampon and continue our day like nothing is going on, completely disconnected from what the body is going through. It's an inconvenience, something that we disregard; often, we don't even think about what our body is doing; instead, we complain about it.

Gemma Dawkins delves a little deeper into the relationships we have with our menstrual cycles

From a psycho-emotional-spiritual perspective, how we responded to entering our 'Menarche phase' - when we first had our period - plays a role in how we feel about our sexuality/femininity. For example, when I first had my period, my attitude was very much to use a tampon and not fuss about it. Basically, what I had then subconsciously believed was that there wasn't a place for the feminine aspect of myself. Instead, I suppressed this and focussed on the practical, masculine part of the doing rather than the being. I experienced amenorrhea for ten years - losing my period when I was an athlete and only getting it back to a regular cycle when I started to delve deeper into my healing journey. I was enlightened about how disconnected I was from my feminine side and the ability to feel my emotions and allow them to be expressed.

As a society, we are gaining more awareness of ancestral trauma and how this is passed on down the generations; the key place this trauma is passed onto is our womb space/sacral chakra. Too many women feel disempowered when it comes to their struggles with periods; not enough conversation is being had around these things that focus on turning inwards rather than looking outside of yourself for the answers. With this information, I urge you to sit and reflect upon

your relationship with your period, your sexuality, your womb, and your sacral chakra. Give yourself space to self enquire and feel how it feels to place your awareness on your womb space and allow your body to talk to you without any judgement. Maybe you feel completely disconnected from this space. That's okay; the first step is acknowledging and accepting this. Start by just getting a little more in tune with your cycle - witnessing and observing what comes up for you when it comes to your period.

True healing means becoming active in wanting to bring about change. It's less about trying to fix and take things away and more about self-enquiry, connecting back into the body and tuning in to its messages whilst bringing about acceptance and compassion. 

TEA AND WELLBEING: A PERSONAL JOURNEY

Katherine Boucher, founder of The Jersey Tea Company, shares how tea can play an important role in wellbeing.

In 2015, I was 37 years old with three children, and was working as a psychologist in Jersey. Life was pretty hectic so starting a new business was a slightly crazy idea. Having been raised in Jersey, my family and I returned to the island from London in 2014. My husband is also a psychologist and having both spent over 15 years working for mental health and prison services in the NHS, we were a little frazzled.

We wanted to be involved in working with the land (in particular, thinking about regenerative farming and biodiversity) and doing something different to our “day jobs”. My husband heard on Radio 4 about teas being grown in Scotland and remembered that Jersey has a history with tea, with the Oversea Trading Corporation being an important tea trader. We then researched how possible it would be to grow tea in Jersey (looking at average annual rainfall; soil quality; sunshine hours etc.) and discovered that this could be something that worked! So, we started experimenting with tea plants in our garden, and in 2016 my husband and I, alongside another local couple, established The Jersey Tea Company.

HOW STARTING A TEA COMPANY HAS HELPED WITH MY WELLBEING

When we started telling friends and family about our idea to grow tea in Jersey, there were many amazed and concerned faces. People close to me were quite perplexed about why I was adding another element into the equation with an already busy lifestyle. I couldn’t provide a valid answer, apart from the clichéd response that I needed something different in my life. Something that still gave me a sense of achievement but didn’t require so much of my emotional world and instead provided me with something positive for my wellbeing in return. 

There are many factors of the tea company that have had a positive impact on my wellbeing, and these have included:

THE IMPACT OF BEING IN NATURE AND SURROUNDED BY NATURE

In a review of the research, it has been concluded that contact with nature is associated with increases in happiness, subjective wellbeing, positive affect, positive social interactions and a sense of meaning and purpose in life, as well as decreases in mental distress.

My personal experience of being in the fields, with the chickens clucking next to me and the insects buzzing around me, is that I am given brief moments in the day when my focus is not internal. I am not focusing on the “I should do...” or “I shouldn’t have done…”, but instead, the simple focus on life around me – the colours, the noises, the smells etc. This gives me time outside my internal focus and a break from the self-demands. (Bratman, G. et al. (2019). Nature and mental health: An ecosystem service perspective. Science Advances, Vol 5. No. 7)

WORKING WITH TEA PLANTS

An initial study examining the impact on workers having plants in the office have suggested that caring for a plant in the workplace helped mitigate stress and fatigue. Working with growing and nurturing plants provides a task with minimal emotional demands (unlike being a parent) but allows us to find satisfaction in seeing something thrive as a response to our care. This gives a sense of achievement and pride.

Walking around the fields and seeing how the tea plants

are flourishing gives me great pleasure. When some of the plants have struggled, it provokes my curiosity and a desire to experiment and find a solution, but it does not cause me the stress of “failure” or trigger self-critical thinking that often can happen when parenting or working in other environments. (Toyoda, M. et al. (2019) Potential of a small indoor plant on the desk for reducing office workers’ stress. HortTechnology.)

WORKING ALONGSIDE MY CHILDREN

I am sure I am like many parents who are constantly worrying about whether their parenting is “good enough”. In particular, the ongoing endless battle with gadgets. I am definitely not an advocate for banning technology, but being able to provide the children with other experiences has been important. I often drag them unwillingly to the tea fields, for them to spend some time engaging with something much slower and less immediately gratifying than computer games.

Some of my fondest memories are blackberry picking with my father. We often didn’t talk whilst we picked, but there was something about completing a simple repetitive task together that was meaningful and important for our relationship. When I am in the field with my children, weeding or picking the tea alongside each other, I am grateful to have time with them in shared purpose. Task sharing has been demonstrated as important in connecting people and enhancing attachments. This need for shared purpose and activity has possibly seemed even more important after the pandemic, where many individuals felt socially isolated.

CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMUNITY

At The Jersey Tea Company we are certified organic with the Soil Association and use regenerative farming techniques. We are very passionate about trying to improve the quality of land and farming in Jersey and aim to: improve biodiversity (pollinator patches; rewilding); improve water quality (no leaching of chemicals as we do not use herbicides, pesticides, or artificial fertilisers on our crops); increase carbon sequestration via the tea plants; be plastic-free (our packaging is plastic free and compostable), and be sustainable (minimising our carbon footprint).

Engaging in a business that contributes to the community has been another important aspect of improving my wellbeing, and also helps to challenge feelings of being overwhelmed and out of control of some of the more significant issues, such as climate change. Engaging in environmentally-friendly behaviour has been associated with a more positive self-image and thus elicits positive emotion. (Venhoeven et al. 2016)

ENJOYING THE TEA!

There has been much anecdotal evidence and many preliminary studies that highlight the benefits both psychologically and physiologically of drinking tea. Tea does contain antioxidants and nutrients and can be part of a healthy lifestyle. There are, of course, many other less direct psychological aspects to drinking tea, such as the impact of taking a “tea break”, the soothing aspects of a warm drink, and even the use of a favourite sentimental mug. Research from BRITA Professional (2020) found

that two-thirds believe taking time to have a cup of tea positively affects their mental health, admitting it helps them to feel relaxed. Almost half agree that it helps them calm down and reduce stress levels. This research study also found that a tea break can increase our productivity, with nearly half agreeing that they can concentrate more on their work after a cup of tea and over a third can perform better or to a higher level.

For me, stopping to brew a pot of tea is about pausing from the usual chaos and time pressures in order to selfindulge. I enjoy the fact that it takes time, and I try and use that time to be in the moment, but I also value using tea as a chance to connect with others. In the workplace, a “tea break” in the staff kitchen allows us to informally chat to colleagues – not over e-mails or in a meeting where minutes are taken but in a more creative informal space.

CONCLUSION

Though the establishment of The Jersey Tea Company has been a conduit to improving my psychological wellbeing, it is not because of the company itself but due to the small changes it has made to my life. These changes do not require a tea field but can involve: a plant in an office or kitchen; time in a park, beach or on a balcony; spending time with those we love completing a shared task; engaging in small changes that benefit the community around us, and taking time to pause and maybe even enjoy a cup of Jersey tea! 

LET'S TALK MENOPAUSE

Trudi Roscouet talks about the benefits of corporates taking the time to understand menopause

Commonly called 'the change', menopause can have a massive effect on our lives, just like children leaving, ailing relatives needing care, relationships ending or the added responsibility of a promotion at work.

The average age of menopause is 51 years old. This doesn't mean it can't happen sooner; in fact, any age from 45 is likely. If you become perimenopausal before 45, you are known to be in early menopause. The most significant influencing factor is the age of your mum or sisters when they first believed they had entered the perimenopause.

Symptoms can be quite intermittent at first – maybe a hot flash or an occasional night sweat. Periods may start to become irregular or heavier (or lighter). Sleepless nights may occur. Anxiety levels start to increase: a change in mood. However, the most worrying symptom for most women is memory loss – the brain fog. Forgetting simple things. They then feel that this could be the early onset of dementia – this is very frightening, particularly if dementia runs in your family. It was great to see Davina McCall discussing this on television recently on Channel 5s "Sex Mind and the Menopause."

There are 34 symptoms in all - combining physical and psychological issues. Women will not get all of these symptoms, but there is a lack of understanding in this area. Education is the key, and we need women to understand these symptoms so they can all have a right to live their best life. The issue is if we as women don't know what is going on with our bodies, how the heck do we expect men to understand?

Of course, we must open the conversation in the workplace and at home. Women are desperate for corporates to open their doors. Allowing an introductory menopause session can then turn into something bigger. Women support women. Menopause champions may come forward. Consideration needs to be given to menopause policy to protect employees. Training needs

fallouts of covid but doesn't help all workers – especially front-line staff such as nurses and teachers.

The primary focus for corporates is to make their workplace inclusive. Ensure everyone has the option to understand the symptoms of the perimenopause and to be able to have open discussions. It still amazes me how many women want to come forward with their stories –and once that door has been opened, they feel like a huge relief has been lifted.

People like Davina McCall, Carolyn Harris MP and Dr Louise Newson have made it their mission to bring everything to the public eye. Carolyn is the co-chairman of the Menopause Taskforce, which is trying to engage the government to legislate and reduce HRT charges throughout the UK. It was a pleasure to meet her and

"SLEEPLESS NIGHTS CAN WORSEN SYMPTOMS. I KNOW, I WAS THERE."

to be given to younger line managers and open up the discussion to the male employees.

Most men want to know or understand the symptoms and how it affects their partners and work colleagues. There is no way of fixing it but learning to become an empath is a good step forward. I always say, "Behind every man is about ten women – and most of those could be menopausal". Over 13 million women in the UK are perimenopausal – that's scary news.

Education is the key – from schools that would allow the word "menopause" to be used and discussed; at home, mums can talk freely about how they are feeling and how the symptoms can affect our working lives. Women need to be able to speak to employers about how they are feeling. Sleepless nights can worsen symptoms. I know, I was there. Being able to say "I'm having a bad day" and have the option to work from home is a slight change a company can embrace. Hybrid working is one of the good

be able to share a platform to talk about her experiences and her campaign to educate the world. Of course, there are many other hidden heroes, like Heather Currie, who has worked with governments and advised NHS Inform, and the founder of the national magazine, Menopause Matters.

Every month Dr Becky Harling of St Martin Surgery and I open up the doors of the Ommaroo Hotel for a Menopause Forum - a gathering of all ladies in Jersey who want to know more information. We invite special guests to attend and share their expertise.

Now is the time to take action – not only for corporates but also for women. It is your time to take control of how you are feeling and not to put up with second best. You have one life – make it a good one! Look after yourself physically and mentally as you enter the perimenopause stage of your life – embrace it and get ready to make the change! 

THE DIARY OF A sober sister

Michelle

O'Connell

shares snippets of her sober adventure

Ilove wine o’clock. I still do, but as I’ve been a sober sister for 500 days and counting, how did I get to this point? Cue lockdown 1.

LOCKDOWN

Let's take a step back to 2020. Lockdown 1. Around this time, I was becoming sober curious and took the enforced isolation as an opportunity to give sobriety a go. My son came back from abroad, and the two of us spent our time binge-watching Netflix, eating copious amounts of homebaked goods, and trying to make Sourdough bread. Every day felt like a Sunday afternoon, I was very lucky. The days turned into weeks, and alcohol just wasn't on the agenda. There was no wine o'clock, no need for that reward after a hard day at work or stress buster to help fix the problems that everyday life threw at me. As lockdown ended, I started to get a little bit anxious, but I couldn't figure out why.

WINE O'CLOCK

Ahh, that magic time of the day. Wine O'Clock. How was I going to cope without it? I'm a feeder and love to cook whilst enjoying a lovely large glass of something icy. It was my ritual, my default setting for my entire adult life. This was going to be difficult. Yes, I felt like I wanted that taste of wine and to get that rush and hit of dopamine that the first glass gave me, but during lockdown I hadn't missed it, as I had other distractions to provide me with that reward, like chocolate, TV, reading and crocheting. And so, looking back, it came as no surprise to me that my first sober spell came to an end a few months after lockdown. I had been in a bubble, in a state of suspended reality.

My inner voice told me “you’ve managed five months sober, you don’t have an issue with the booze. Cut yourself some slack!” I was kidding myself.

FOREVER CHOICE

Fast-forward to February 2021; I already knew that keeping the ritual was essential, the only thing that needed

to change was the contents of my glass, and so began the fun task of checking out the alcohol-free alternatives. I won't go into the details about the copious amounts of beverages I taste-tested - it took lots of time and effort, which was a good distraction. I eventually found a handful of excellent non- and low-alcoholic drinks that worked for me. So now we were getting somewhere. I was all set. But I knew it wasn't truly about the alternatives.

Something had shifted in me, because this time was going to be different, my forever choice. I was sure of it because during that trial period, I had discovered a big truth. And it was quite simply that I preferred the sober me. I had looked inwards and learnt from past attempts and finally was all set to stay on course this time.

It hadn’t just been about the glowing skin, increased energy levels and the nourishing sleep, (fun fact - not drinking makes you look younger) but way more noticeable had been the feeling of freedom I’d experienced, which had changed my attitude. I was more positive, less anxious and felt more connected to the people I love and to my surroundings. I’d figured out exactly why I wanted to make the change. I had turned my face towards the sun and it felt good.

It had taken three years of being sober curious to understand what alcohol did to my mind and body. Being sober will never give me the hit that booze did, and thank goodness for that. My wine alternative was still a prop, but not for masking my stress and anxiety; it was there to remind me that I was owning my choice.

Don't get me wrong, my life’s day to day crap is still there, just like everyone else's, but I deal with it better. Everything I say and do is the real me saying and doing it. Being a sober sister is a blast!

The ritual hasn't changed, just what's in my glass - as long as it's not a diet coke or a warm orange juice, thanks. 

Michelle will be sharing more about her sober adventure in the next issue of Manner.

Recipes by Christian Gott

VEGAN MISO GLAZED ROASTED VEGETABLES AND AUBERGINE KEBABS

What better way to celebrate summer with lots of seasonal produce? These delicious aubergine skewers are great grilled but even better on the BBQ. The miso and sesame glaze gives a smoky, umami-packed flavour, enhancing the BBQ flavours.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Aubergine, cut into chunks

• 1 large Red Onion, peeled and cut into chunks

• 2 large Courgettes, washed and cut into chunks

• 2 large Peppers, cut into chunks

• 10 large Button Mushrooms

• 4 tbsp Miso Paste

• 4 tbsp Light Soy Sauce

• 3 tbsp Golden Syrup

• 3 tbsp Sesame Oil

• Juice of two limes, freshly squeezed

• 2 cloves of Garlic, peeled and finely crushed

• ½ tsp Ground Coriander

• ¼ tsp Chilli Flakes

• A small handful of freshly chopped Coriander

• 1 tsp toasted Sesame Seeds

METHOD

1. Place the aubergine into a colander in your sink and sprinkle with salt. Leave for ten minutes to drain. Remove from the colander and pat dry with kitchen paper. This will make the aubergine less bitter.

2. Light up your BBQ or preheat your oven to 400F/200C/Gas Mark 6, and in a medium bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients together. Place the aubergine and other vegetables into a plastic tub and add three-quarters of the marinade. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and shake to cover the vegetables with the marinade. Transfer to the fridge for around an hour or two.

3. Carefully slide the marinated vegetable onto soaked wooden skewers, place it on the BBQ, cook for five to six minutes, and then turn over to ensure the vegetables are evenly cooked. Cook for five or six minutes and baste with a little of the remaining marinade.

4. Once cooked, brush with the remaining marinade and garnish with the coriander and sesame seeds. Serve with cauliflower rice or a mixed bean salad.

CHILLI AND RUM GLAZED GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH COCONUT ICE CREAM

This is a flavour-packed way to finish a summer BBQ reflecting the flavours of a Pina Colada. Most of the preparation can be done in advance to leave you more time to spend with your guests.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium Pineapple, cut into wedges

• 100ml Water

• 3 tbsp of Rum

• 2 heaped tbsp Muscovado Sugar

• 2 tbsp Golden Syrup

• ½ Red Chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

METHOD

1. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, gently heat the sugar, golden syrup, and water together until the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring regularly. Remove from the heat, add the chilli, and allow to cool. When thoroughly cooled down, stir in the rum.

2. Barbecue or grill the pineapple away from direct heat, basting with the chilli and rum glaze. When the pineapple is soft and browned, serve with the remaining glaze and a generous scoop of coconut ice cream.

TOMATO SALSA

This salsa is ready to eat immediately, but the flavours will develop overnight.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 400g tin of Plum Tomatoes

• 1 small Red Onion, peeled and diced

• A handful of fresh Coriander

• 1 or 2 medium Green Chillies, you can remove the seeds to reduce heat

• 2 cloves of Garlic, coarsely chopped

• Juice of 1 Lime, freshly squeezed

• ¼ tsp ground Cumin

• Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper

METHOD

Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer to a clean, sterile glass jar with an air-tight lid and store in the fridge.
