Rebel Book Club London x SOBER

Special Guest: author Anna Donaghey

Alcohol Mindset Coach | Host of The Big Drink Rethink podcast | Speaker

In her transformative book What Are You Thirsty For?, Anna challenges us to rethink our relationship with alcohol and rediscover the life we truly want. Drawing on her expertise as founder of The Beliefs Coach, Anna helps high-achievers break free from the exhausting cycle of work, drinking, and self-recrimination. She dismantles the beliefs and behaviours that keep us stuck, showing how alcohol shrinks our lives and careers—and how reclaiming that energy can unlock our full potential. Whether you're sober-curious, moderating, or simply questioning why alcohol plays such a dominant role in our culture, this conversation will inspire you to explore what you're really thirsty for.

More about "What Are You Thirsty For?"

Anna Donaghey, former advertising exec turned alcohol mindset coach, stopped drinking six years ago when she realised that it was no longer enhancing her life - it was running it. In her book, she invites you to take a clear-eyed look at your relationship with alcohol - not because you have to change, but because you deserve more.

Blending personal experience, coaching insights and stories from her acclaimed podcast The Big Drink Rethink, Anna offers warm, thought-provoking perspectives to help turn alcohol from a habit or default into a conscious, empowered choice.

Why we chose it: “An optimistic, non-judgmental guide to asking the right questions, and finding the right answers." - Clare Pooley, author of The Sober Diaries
