edit data

Victoria Vanstone is the host of Sober Awkward, a popular
comedy podcast that tracks two former party animals as they
navigate life without booze. Victoria started writing on the
day she gave up alcohol and became a renowned over-sharer
on her blog drunkmummysobermummy.com. The reformed
‘party girl’ is now on a mission to help others stuck in a
pattern of normalised social binge drinking. Originally from
Reading in the UK, Victoria now lives on the Sunshine Coast
in Queensland with her brood of uncontrollable children, a
rather confused dog, and a very patient husband.
