Sobriety gets a really bad wrap. If you're in your 20s and you decide to take a night off drinking, you almost always have to offer up some sort of excuse. "I'm taking it easy tonight" is never met with open arms.  But despite this, more and more people are becoming sober curious. In fact young people these days are drinking less than they did 20 years ago. So what's it really like to go sober when everyone else isn't? Allira is joined by Sam Wilson, Founder of Sober Mates to share her story.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Complete this short wellbeing survey to go into the draw to win a $50 Gift Voucher!

Gratitude. It's got a bad reputation.  It's 'that girl' on TikTok whose drinking matcha lattes, going on runs and finishing her day with journalling or it's the guy at your local cafe, pondering his existence with a leather bound book. In the nicest way, it's kind of wanky.  Unfortunately, we're actually hard wired to see the glass half empty and gratitude practises can actually help make us feel just that little bit better. So on today's episode we're sharing with you some gratitude practises that'll actually lift your mood, without feeling like a wanker.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia If you liked Dr Katlin her guide for rewiring our brains, The Daily Moments of Joy Diary can be found here.

Ahhhh, that Sunday night feeling of not knowing what the week will bring at work, at uni or at school.

Or, if you’re like us, most weekends.  Thankfully your local friendly witch, Allira is here to cast a spell on you and it make it all better (just kidding!). No, but seriously, Allira has some easy and actionable practises, affirmations and some not-so-witchy activities (for the wellness sceptics) that'll give you a helping hand prepping for the week ahead.
