With questions around the 'Mummy Wine O'clock' culture growing, Love Yourself Sober explores how a problematic relationship with alcohol can easily develop, particularly with time-poor mothers, how to recognise it, and what to do about it. Kate and Mandy provide a supportive 'sober curious' environment, encouraging active participation using positive psychology, coaching methods and workbook features to help women make changes for themselves.
Love Yourself Sober is an empowering book for women and mothers to put their own self-care at the centre of a healthy and positive life-change.

Industry Reviews
"Kate and Mandy's upbeat, wise and empathetic take on life is a real tonic. They are the girls everyone would love to have as a best friend. This book will be that - a best sober buddy in your pocket."
Clare Pooley, author of The Sober Diaries.
"An amazingly helpful, refreshing and positive book... I wish this book had been around when I kicked the booze, it would have been a lifesaver."
Lucy Rocca, Soberistas
"Finally, someone is telling it like it is. There is deep denial in the UK about the reality of our relationship with alcohol. In this clearly written and wonderful book, Kate and Mandy shine a light on the reality of our drinking versus the fantasy. The truth is, the fantasy doesn't hold up. If you are at that point of realising that alcohol is not delivering on its promises, then you will find this book a helpful aid in making those first steps into sobriety. Mandy and Kate are great guides through this process, offering experience, wisdom, and constructive suggestions to make that journey as smooth as possible. Hopefully, this book will find its way into the hands of every mum struggling with alcohol."
Veronica Valli, psychotherapist and creator of the Soberful program

Simon Chapple, author of The Sober Survival Guide
"What a fantastic book, full of empowering information, helpful strategies and warm advice. I love how you've brilliantly managed to tread the line of being kind and understanding while at the same time being blunt and unafraid to point out numerous uncomfortable truths about alcohol. This book will be of huge benefit; there's so much in here to chew over and work through. It will help many people examine their own drinking habits and enable them to turn things around. Bravo!"

I'm only at the start of my journey and know it will be just that, but I'm already feeling like Kate and Mandy have started me on the path to save my own life. THANK YOU for this gift."
