Show Notes
Ann Dowsett Johnston @anndowsettjohnstonofficial is the bestselling author of Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol, named one of the top 10 books of 2013 by the Washington Post. In Drink, Ann blew the whistle on the pinking of the alcohol industry, revealing the targeting of women. A seasoned award-winning journalist, Ann became a psychotherapist five years ago. As well, she runs a popular online memoir-writing course for women called Writing Your Recovery. Well-known for her advocacy in the worlds of mental health and addiction, Ann has received numerous awards, included an honorary degree from Queen’s University. She lives in Toronto, Canada.
We chat about how women we targeted by the Big Alcohol Companies in the 90's and us women are now coming to realise that alcohol is not serving us at all anymore. We also chat about shame and how it really holds us back from seeking help. Ann has been hugely influential to me on my journey and I really hope you enjoy it.
