On this weeks episode of One For The Road i am joined by Sophie Hutton-Mills.Sophie grew up in South East London. She was the youngest of a large chaotic family. Sophie describes herself as a heavy social drinker in her 20’s and 30’s working in London. She discovered alcohol when she was 20 and her father died of a heart attack whilst they were on a day trip together. Sophie’s drinking became a problem after she had her 2 daughters in her late 30’s. She was drinking in secret and it slowly spiralled out of control. Sophie shares how she navigates a sober life having also lost both her sister and Mum to cancer and her beloved brother to suicide.

Welcome back to another season of One For The Road. We are kicking this season off with Olivia Taylor who is a 30-year-old mother, recovered addict, and certified coach specialising in addiction recovery and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). After spending years trapped in cycles of trauma, mental illness, and alcohol dependency, Olivia knows firsthand the pain, chaos, and isolation that come with addiction and the strength it takes to heal.

Following countless failed attempts at sobriety, she reached a turning point that led her to true recovery not just from substances, but from the patterns and beliefs that kept her stuck. Through radical honesty, emotional work, and a complete mindset shift, Olivia learned how to live in the present, embrace discomfort, and build a life grounded in purpose and connection. Today, she uses her lived experience and professional training to guide others on their path to healing.

Olivia is passionate about breaking shame, building community, and helping others reclaim their lives. Whether through speaking, coaching, or podcasting, her mission is to remind people that recovery is possible and that it goes far beyond just putting down the drink.”
