This week, Breast Cancer CEO Thalie Martini chats to Great British Bake Off Legend Briony May Williams, who reveals what pushed her to share her journey to sobriety and become a leader in the mindful drinking movement. She reminds us why we don’t need alcohol to celebrate, how the stress of the tent taught her how to focus on what we can control, and how her daughter inspires her every day. Briony and Thalie also discuss the impotence of finding balance, and how we can be healthy – and still eat cake.
