You're right, they are free, and they are awesome (thank you 😊), and the theory is all well and good, but when it comes to real change in your drinking habits:

- The family traditions that feel so hard to break
It's all about taking action!

I have huge admiration for your work, and for your original voice in this sector - you have a gift for being simultaneously an advocate / commentator and a genuine human being who talks about life as it is; not in self-conscious Linkedin-speak! Not many people actually manage to do both things, but your balance is great.
Anthony O'Connor
Not only is the Mindful Drinking podcast one of the top in the category, but Denise is a leading voice that will inspire anyone who is trying to be cool about cutting back on drinking! I recommend subscribing!
Sarah Kate
Your latest episode on the practical side of moderation grabbed my attention-the way you broke down zebra striping, bookending, coasting, and pacing really demystifies the process for people who want genuine structure without relying solely on willpower. As someone who obsessively tests every moderation strategy out there, I can't help but admire the accessible toolkit you've created for your listeners, especially as we roll into the festive season.
Morgan Smith
Thanks for everything you do, your podcasts have really made a difference, you don't lecture, you don't say you can't, we all have a choice and you are our voice, which guides us, if we choose to follow that path. I guess I wasn't really ready for it a year ago 😀
Helen Smith
It feels like a light switch has been switched on!
Teresa Smith
I just wanted to get in touch to say thank you so much for the work you do with the podcasts and online generally.
Anthony Hutchinson
I just wanted to reach out and express my excitement about joining the Low No Nation! Your newsletter is a fantastic resource, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this vibrant community.
I started binge-listening to your podcast yesterday and I can't stop. I've listened to hours and hours already!
Ashley Sunderland
I just wanted to say I'm finding the course really interesting and very helpful. Actually, all the information on all the different platforms is excellent. It's so honest and refreshingly non-judgemental.
Josephine Sizer
This is an excellent and interesting, fun quiz. I, will definitely be encouraging those in my Reset Clubs to take part!
Beth Hammond
Denise! Are you inside my head? Lol Amazing blog, truly. Literally everything you're saying resonates 100% with me. Keep up the incredible work, Denise. Thank you for being real and sharing how you feel. It makes me feel like I'm not alone.
Erika Lafata
Your thorough explanation as to why these beverages cost more and deserve to be valued equally, if not more, is outstanding. And yes, number three is true, and many still can't grasp it because our culture is delusional about alcohol.
Thank you again for shedding light on understanding the costs and empowering us with detailed knowledge to better advocate for the nonalcoholic beverage industry.
Cate Faulkner
Denise is one of the experts on low & no in the industry!
Sam Bail
Hi Denise, I just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for this positive messaging! Love your newsletters and podcasts, you're doing an amazing thing and keep going, we need you!
Joni Free
Beautifully written and a message many will benefit from.
Chelsea Caffey
Hi Denise, Thank you so much! I listened to 116 and it was hugely helpful. Gave me a lot to think about. Looking forward to the next one!
I listen to lots of podcasts, but never engage with any creators, so this is really cool! Thanks so much for taking my request.
Warm regards from LA.
Joey David Jovanovich
Love this article! I can relate to at least 2 things under each category. Thank you - I feel very seen Denise!:-)
Julie R
You're my favorite source because your approach is the one that most resonates with me...making it less about sobriety and more about the bevvies! 🥂
Eryn Korby
You are one of the best resources out there Denise...thanks for all you do!! 🙏🍻👏
Eryn Korby
i feel seen and i'm so so happy to have found this space.
Mennlay
Wanted to reach out to say how interesting I thought your talk was at the every other mother event last week!
I really took lots of value from it- thank you for sharing your story with us!
Nadezhda Beaumont
It is hugely refreshing to listen to someone who doesn't portray alcohol as dangerous, terrifying spectre. For millions of people, this is demonstrably untrue and while I've gained a lot listening to sobriety advocates the "rock-bottom" stories and the mantra that moderation is impossible can wear a bit thin. This podcast is different and - unlike the one or two others offering a similar message - is made with decent sound, not an awful recording of someone's Zoom meeting. Others need to up their game.
Nicola Cherry
It's refreshing to hear a different perspective regarding the low and no alcohol approach. The idea that moderation is possible has opened a door for me which I thought was otherwise closed,
Kerryn Fields
Unfailingly hits the spot!
Denise has a real gift for going straight to the stories that are relevant and interesting. I can't think of anyone doing a better job in the 'Low and No space'!
CheerfulChris
Great work, Denise, spreading the word and educating us all at the same time. Thank you.
Mairéad Agnew
Denise's calm and funny advice for mindful drinking is a great balm for the nuttiness we find ourselves on a night out.
Thank you!
Mindful Mummy
Just wanted to say "hi!" and a quick thank you for all you do. You are magnificent, and much appreciated!
Tam Richmond
Hi Denise. I love what you're doing for the category and for people around the world. Cheers!
Milan Martin
I really love the way you talked about this. I'm someone who stopped accepting the pressure to drink at every social event and now if I drink at all, it's a mindful amount. Thank you for this.
Faith Foushee
A brilliant publication that's truly leading the way in the fast-evolving low and no space. Denise's podcast is equally fantastic - her FAQ episodes tackle some of the most common (and sometimes overlooked) questions in a really accessible, engaging way. An absolute must for anyone interested in low and no drinking, whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your knowledge.
Maria Easley
