Meet your Empowering Hosts
Harriet Waley-Cohen
Harriet has been on her own sobriety journey for the last 18 years. Since she gave up drinking in 2002, she has been helping people realise personal empowerment and true potential in sobriety. Harriet comes at coaching from a very real place – she herself has had many life experiences, having recently survived breast cancer, all whilst being sober. You can find out more about Harriet’s public speaking and coaching workshops on her website, or join her free Facebook page, Harriet’s Inner Circle.
Janey Lee Grace
You may know Janey as being co-presenter on the UK’s biggest radio show, BBC Radio 2’s Steve Wright in the Afternoon. Janey also hosts her own podcast, Alcohol Free Life, and is an ambassador for the empowerment that sobriety can bring.
Janey is also the author of several books on Holistic Living, and her recent publication, ‘Happy Healthy Sober: Ditch the booze and take control of your life‘ is available on Amazon now. As Janey says on her website:
Ian Young
Ian knows recovery from the inside out. His struggle with drugs and alcohol gave him the insight to act; he’s the founder of two of the largest drug rehabilitation services across the UK and Europe. Ian now lives in Phuket, Thailand, where he runs his private practice, Sober Services Global, as well as rehabilitation services in Southern Thailand. As you’ll hear, empowerment has been a tool that Ian has found invaluable in supporting those in active addiction and their families.
