Helen’s story “Flixwatcher’

In this episode, we’re joined by Helen Sadler, co-host of the Flixwatcher Podcast, as she reflects on her changing relationship with alcohol — from her early experiences growing up in the heart of 90s ‘ladette’ culture, drinking norms, to weekends at festivals and beyond.

Helen shares how alcohol was deeply woven into socialising, identity and fun — and how, over time, she began to quietly question whether it was still serving her. Her story is a relatable and reflective look at how many of us carry our drinking habits forward by default — until we don’t.

We talk about the pressure to drink in your 20s, how our social norms shape our choices, and why festivals and fun don’t have to disappear just because alcohol does.

 

This episode is for anyone who’s felt like the odd one out for questioning the norm — and proof that you can rewrite the story on your own terms.
